Operation – Therapy
ENG - Version 2.1 – P/N 04130.2 71
With the introduction of the corPatch easy pre-connected therapy electrodes
(P/N 05120.1), for adults (P/N 04324.3) and Pediatric (P/N 05120.1) the higher
limits for the body weight of patients have been set. The manufacturer assures
that also the previously supplied therapy electrodes corPatch easy Neonate
(P/N 04324.2) can be used for defibrillations with an energy level of up to
100 Joule maximum and up to a body weight of 25 kg. The operational safety
as well as medical effectiveness of the therapy electrodes is guaranteed.
The CPR rhythm can be supported acoustically by activating the metronome via
the softkey [Metronome].
The selected energy level is available for 30 seconds after charging. If no shock
is triggered within this time span, the device discharges itself internally.
WARNING
During ECG analysis, it is essential to avoid external commotion and
vibration. Keep the patient lying down calmly.
Do not touch the patient.
It is essential to discontinue artificial respiration during ECG analysis. This
leads to false analysis results since the periodic expansion of the chest may
simulate an ECG rhythm.
5.3.3 Defibrillation in AED Mode with Shock Paddles
To perform a defibrillation in AED mode with shock paddles, an ECG must be
obtained for analysis via the ECG electrodes and the 4-pole ECG monitoring
cable.
To start the AED mode, press the AED key.
1. Prepare the patient (see chapter 5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy, page 67).
2. Place all four ECG electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient (see chapter 6.2 ECG Monitoring, page 95).
3. Completely wet the electrode surfaces of the shock paddles with
defibrillation electrode gel.
4. If enabled, select the required energy level via the softkeys or the jog dial
(see chapter 7.4.3 Configuration of the Defibrillation Function (Persons
Responsible for the Device) , page 163).
5. To start the ECG analysis, press the Analyse key or one of the buttons at
the shock paddles.
6. With the message Deliver shock and the ready-signal, the device
indicates that the defibrillation can be performed.
