In manual mode, a configurable audio recording option is available which is
disabled by default. If the audio recording option is enabled by the person
responsible for the device, all surrounding noises are recorded (see
chapter 7.4.3 Configuration of the Defibrillation Function (Persons Responsible
for the Device) , page 163).
WARNING
A cardioversion may lead to ventricular fibrillation or asystole. When
performing a cardioversion, mind the following:
• The ECG has to be stable with a heart rate of at least 60/min.
• The synchronisation status has to remain constantly on SYNC.
• The QRS marks (triangles) have to mark each QRS complex.
• The shock release has to be effected according to valid guidelines.
• If the shock release does not take place one second after pressing
the buttons at the shock paddles or the Shock key at the monitoring
unit, the shock will be released independent of the synchronisation
status.
WARNING
Equipment which is not defibrillation proof must be disconnected from
patients during defibrillation and cardioversion.
WARNING
When a defibrillation is performed, all necessary ECG cables have to be
connected to the patient box at all times and all electrodes have to be
attached to the patient. If the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable and the
complementary 6-pole diagnostic cable are not used in a defibrillation, they
have to be disconnected from the patient box.
WARNING
No physiological alarm events are displayed and saved in defibrillation mode.
Technical alarms are indicated visually and acoustically.
5.4.2 Manual Defibrillation with
corPatch
Electrodes
When using corPatch electrodes, the ECG is obtained via the corPatch
electrodes attached to the patient (indicated as DE). Via additionally attached
ECG electrodes and the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable, further leads can be
displayed in the configurable second curve field (see chapter 6.2 ECG
Monitoring, page 95).
1. To start the manual defibrillation mode, press the Manual key.
2. Prepare the patient (see chapter 5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy, page 67).
3. Check the electrode package for damage and check the expiry date.
4. Attach corPatch electrodes to the patient, as shown on the electrode
package. Select the required energy level with the jog dial or via the
softkeys and confirm by pressing the jog dial.
