Shock Counter
The number of delivered shocks is indicated below
the energy value.
This counter is reset to 0 when you set the energy
selector to
.
The number of delivered shocks is also shown on
the recording strip (Figure 5-5, intervention report
d). This counter, however, counts all shocks since
the device was turned on and is reset to 0 only
when the device is turned OFF.
Ending Therapy
•
Once therapy has ended, set the energy selector
to
for continued monitoring of the patient.
•
If there is no need to monitor the patient, switch
off the defibrillator by setting the energy se-
lector to "Off".
•
Clean the paddles and the device as outlined in
chapter 18 "Cleaning, Maintenance".
Defibrillation of Children
Warning
Damage to Myocardium — Please note that chil-
dren require less energy for successful ventricular
defibrillation than adults. For the first defibrilla-
tion shock delivered to babies and small children,
select an energy of approx. 2 J/kg body weight.
For subsequent shocks, the energy may be in-
creased to 4 J/kg body weight.
Risk of Skin Burns — The full electrode must be
in contact with the skin surface (use the small
contact surface of the paddles / pads for children).
The paddles have two different contact surfaces; a
large one (can be removed) for the defibrillation of
adults and a smaller one for the defibrillation of
children.
Remove the large contact surface for pediatric use:
•
Press on the lock button 1 (Figure 4-5).
•
Slide the contact surface 2 towards the front
and take it off the paddle.
•
When re-installing it, the large contact surface
must audibly click into place.
