DEFIBRILLATION (Red Zone)
Put rhythm simulator on “VT HI”
AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
1. Turn to DEFIB mode
2. Press ANALYZE
o Stand clear, analyzing
o If shockable rhythm, shock button will illuminate red
3. “All clear!”, then press SHOCK.
Auto Escalation
• The device will increase the energy automatically
• Energy will start at 120J, then to 150J, then to 200J for Adult Patients
• Energy for Pediatrics starts at 50J, 70J, 85J
Manual Defibrillation
1. Turn to DEFIB mode
2. Press ENERGY SELECT arrows to change the energy level
3. Press CHARGE
4. “All clear”, then press SHOCK
CPR SENSOR
CPR Sensor
• Is built right in to the pad
• Enables CPR Feedback based on RATE, DEPTH, RECOIL
Idle Timer: Displayed on monitor after 3 seconds of inactivity.
Rate and Depth Numerical Values: Displayed once you start compressions.
Release Bar: Indicates release and recoil off the chest. Full Bar = Great!
Diamond/PPI (Perfusion Performance Index): Mimics perfusion pressure and will begin to fill up.
Goal
1. Depth: 2.0-2.4” for adults
2. Rate 100-120 CPM
3. Recoil: Release Bar needs to be full
Practice
• Scenario 1 - Not doing fast enough compressions. Metronome sound will begin. Match the
metronome to get back to the right rate of 100cpm.
• Scenario 2 - Not going deep enough.
o The device will say “Push harder.” to get you above 2 inches in depth.
o Once you have sufficient depth, the device will say “Good compressions.”
• Pediatric Feedback - Will only display Rate and Depth- you will not hear the “Push Harder”
