Defibrillating a Patient
3-4
Resetting the Selected Energy Level
To increase or decrease the selected energy level after pressing the Charge button,
perform the following steps.
1 Move the Energy Select control to the new energy level.
2 Wait for the charge done indicators.
3. Shock
To shock the patient, perform the following steps.
1 Briefly adjust the paddle pressure and placement to optimize patient contact, as
registered on the Paddle Contact Indicator located on the Sternum paddle.
2 Verify that no one is in contact with the patient, the monitoring cable or leads,
the bed rails, or another potential current pathway.
3 Call out "Clear!" to alert personnel to stand away from the patient.
Keep hands clear of the paddle electrode edges. Use your thumbs to
depress the Shock buttons on the paddle handles.
4 Press and briefly hold both Shock buttons (labelled , one on each paddle)
simultaneously, to deliver energy to the patient.
If the defibrillator does not shock, refer to the “If the Defibrillator does not Deliver a
Shock” on page 12-4.
If you must disarm the charged defibrillator (if counter shock is not needed), turn the
Energy Select control to Monitor On. Any stored energy will be discharged
internally and the available energy on the display will scroll down to 0.
