6 Operation
• Only with Printing option: If the printer is connected to the
device and the Defibrillation report menu item is
activated (see “13.9 Printer settings (only with Printing
option)”, page 332), the printer prints a defibrillation
report (see “6.16.4 Printing a defibrillation report”,
page 201).
• After shock delivery, cardioversion (SYNC marking)
remains activated in manual mode. You can set in the
operator menu whether further cardioversion or
defibrillation is to follow cardioversion (see “13.5 Manual
mode settings (only with Manual defibrillation option)”,
page 321).
Result The patient has undergone cardioversion.
6.8.2 Carrying out cardioversion using paddles
In cardioversion, shock delivery is synchronized with the R wave of
the ECG (SYNC). The ECG is derived via the ECG cable.
Requirement • A charged battery is inserted in the device.
• The patient is prepared in line with currently applicable
guidelines.
• The device is switched on (see “6.1 Switching on the device”,
page 118).
• A patient group is selected (see “6.4 Selecting patient group”,
page 120).
• Shock delivery via paddles is prepared (see “6.5.2 Preparing for
shock delivery using paddles”, page 126).
• 6-lead ECG monitoring is prepared (see “6.10.1 Preparing
6-lead ECG monitoring”, page 164).
Risk of injury from movement artifacts when using paddles
for synchronous shock delivery!
Cardioversion cannot be carried out without 6-lead monitoring, as
the device may erroneously detect movement artifacts as R waves
and deliver a shock at the wrong time. This may injure the patient.
Always carry out 6-lead ECG monitoring for synchronous shock
delivery.
