CPR Dashboard
Whenever CPR-D-padz or OneStep electrodes are connected to the X Series defibrillator and it
senses compression, the unit illuminates the CPR Dashboard in the lower center portion of the
display.
The CPR Dashboard displays CPR feedback indicators, which differ, depending on whether
adult or pediatric CPR electrodes are attached to the unit. We describe the CPR Dashboard’s
feedback indicators in the following sections.
Note: If no compressions have been detected for at least 3 seconds or if the compressions fall
below the display range of rate and depth indicators, the rate Depth and Rate fields
display dashes (----).
CPR Rate and Depth Measurements
The display of CPR rate and depth measurements differ depending on whether adult or
pediatric CPR electrodes are attached.
With Adult CPR Electrodes Attached --
By default, the X Series unit displays CPR rate and depth measurements in green when adult
CPR electrodes are attached. If the unit detects that CPR performance is consistently below the
AHA/ERC-recommended compression rate, the unit displays the rate measurement in yellow
(needs improvement). Likewise, if the unit detects that compression depth is consistently below
the AHA/ERC-recommended compression depth, the unit displays the depth measurement in
yellow (needs improvement).
This color coding is intended to assist the rescuer in determining whether the chest compression
rate or depth should be increased or maintained.
With Pediatric CPR Electrodes Attached --
CPR rate and depth measurements always display in green when pediatric CPR electrodes are
attached.
CPR Release Indicator (Adult Only)
The CPR Release Indicator is intended to provide feedback on the rescuer’s ability to fully lift
his hands off the sternum during the upstroke of the compression. The release indicator is filled
when rescuers release compressions more quickly, whereas the indicator will only fill partially
if chest compression release is slow.
The CPR Release Indicator is only available when using Adult CPR electrodes.
