Cardiac Interventions Overview
SimMan 3G PLUS allows for defibrillation in accordance with
2020 international guidelines for CPR. The LiveShock skin
enables connection with a live defibrillator and for the following
procedures to be performed:
• Defibrillation
• Synchronised cardioversion
• External pacing with or without capture
Defibrillation
The energy levels and number of shocks required for
automatic conversion are set in each simulation Patient Case.
Ensure the defibrillator pads are in good condition and are
correctly placed on the defibrillator plates.
Notes
• Always follow the safety instructions from the defibrillator
manufacturer when using the defibrillator on the Patient
Simulator.
• To prevent overheating during defibrillation, do not exceed a
defibrillation sequence of 3 shocks in 45 seconds followed by
1 minute of CPR.
• After 30 minutes there must be at least 15 minutes pause in
defibrillation before starting a new sequence. Do not repeat
this for more than a 4-hour period.
Warning
During live defibrillation, the defibrillator and Patient Simulator may
present a shock hazard. All standard safety precautions must be
taken when using the defibrillator on the Patient Simulator. Read
the Important Product Information booklet for more Cautions and
Warnings.
Caution
Do not defibrillate on the ECG connectors on the Patient Simulator.
This will damage the Patient Simulator.
Refer to LiveShock Upgrade Kit on how to install a new skin.
