DefiMonitor XD 21324 / GB / K05
8 Applying the electrodes
8.1 Undressing the patient
If during your preliminary examination, you have ascertained that the patient needs
defibrillation, undress his upper body to be able to place the electrodes.
8.2 Positioning
8.2.1 Positioning self-adhesive electrodes and paddles
Fig. 24: Positions of defibrillation electrodes (SavePads Connect) on the patient
The defibrillation electrodes are positioned
• On the right chest area, below the collar bone (1) and
• On the left chest area above the apex of the heart on the axillary line (2).
Incorrectly positioned electrodes can lead to faulty readings.
Medicinal plasters must be removed before attaching the defibrillation
electrodes.
The PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD carries out automatic impedance measurement.
Defibrillation can only be carried out if the patient is within the permissible
impedance range. See Chapter "Technical Data“. Ensure that the electrodes have
good contact.
