Emergency Defibrillation Procedure with Hands-Free Therapy Electrodes

9650-0912-06 Rev. G ZOLL R Series Operator’s Guide 3–7

Note: If it is not possible to place the “BACK” electrode on the patient’s back, place the

electrodes in the standard apex-sternum positions. Effective defibrillation results, but

pacing will usually be less effective.

WARNING! Application of adult electrodes to a pediatric patient will result in the automatic

selection of adult energy levels. If needed, manually adjust the energy settings based on

site-specific protocols.

1 Select DEFIB

Turn the Mode Selector to DEFIB. The unit automatically defaults to 120 joules or the

preconfigured first shock energy selection.

PADS are selected as the ECG source when the instrument is turned to MONITOR or DEFIB

and paddles are not connected to the OneStep cable. You may select any of the other ECG leads

by pressing the front panel LEAD button.

Energy Select

Look at the display, and verify the selected energy is appropriate. The default energy selections

for adult patients are:

• Shock 1 - 120 joules

• Shock 2 - 150 joules

• Shock 3 - 200 joules

When used with OneStep Pediatric electrodes, the default energy selections are:

• Shock 1 - 50 joules

• Shock 2 - 70 joules

• Shock 3 - 85 joules

WARNING! When used with pedi-padz, defibrillator energies must be set manually based on site-

specific institutional protocols for pediatric defibrillation.
