4.3 Energy charging


The selected energy can be charged by presslng the load key
(24) and thus made ava~lablefor the shock.
LED ( 2 3 ) flashing indicates the charging procedure The
charging time depends on the selected energy step. W ~ t hfull
accumulators, a charging tlme of approx. 7 seconds for Defi-
B resp. 9 seconds for Defl-N is requ~red to attain the
maximum energy of 3 6 0 joules

After the charging the energy will be available for 1 5 seconds


which is s~gnalledby a permanent s~gnaland the l~ghtingup
of the OK signal ( 2 5 ) . If there IS no d e f ~ b r ~ l l a t ~during

In order to reach a long durablllty ot ' t 2 accumulator -
necessary to use the greater part of accu-- lator capaclt, .
you use only part of the capacity. the so-calle, -1eniory effec-
will occur Thls may cause a defect of the accun7, ator
Please consider the following advices in order t o
prevent this procedure:
Charge accumulator / unit ( r n ~ n ~ r n u n4i hours 2: *lie
public supply).
Pull out mains plug.
Use the unit until the red Accumulator-status-LED ( 2 7 ) will
lighten (reserve of 1 5 shots w ~ t h3 6 0 J).
Put the unit then again to the public supply and recharge
~t(the unit must be turned out).
After charging please disconnect the unit from public
supply then.

If you charge the accumulator prematurely (that means when


the Accumulator-status-LED ( 2 9 ) is st111llghten~nggreen) you
will risk to damage the acc~~mulator on a long-term basis.

Asynchronous supply of energy to the cardiac rhythm by the def~br~llator can cause damages to the
heart. If the energy 1s suppl~edto the heart muscle d u r ~ n gthe ventr~cularrefractory period (approx. f~rst
half of the T-wave) the heart I S susceptible to ventr~cularfibr~llat~on

2. Synchronized defibrillation (not with Defi-N and Defi-B):


For the applica-tion of this procedure it is essen-tial that the patient has got a d~scern~ble
heart rhythm. A

synchronous mechan~smof the ECG unit, the shock is released a few m~lliseconds(about 10-60ms)

The energy to be released depends on the patlent's body helght and wegi-t The follow~ng of
thumb applles 2 - 3 joule per kg body w e ~ g h tThe most sultable energy is based on experience
depends on the emergency sltuatlon
4. Positioning of the paddles.
S t c k the paddles f ~ r m l yto the bare chest of the patlent by a p p y n g a pressure of apprcx 10 kg to
ensure perfect energy transfer Apply~ngnot enough pressure may cause that the skin ,-3er the
electrodes gets burnt Apply~ng correct pressure should be tra~nedon devices provided - c r that
purpose
The posltlon of the paddles decldes on the success of the resuscltatlon The flow of current betwee-
the paddles through the chest has to flow through a large part of the tissue of the heart muscle The
chance to e l ~ m ~ n a the
t e ventr~cularf ~ b r l l l a i ~ oonly
n exlsts when the "crlt~calmass" of about 8 0 % of the
heart I S perfused suff~c~ently
In case of Incorrect paddle poslt~onmost of the current mlsses the heart and 1s thus Ineffect ve
Position of the first paddle (Sternum): - r ~ g h chest
t area
- r ~ g h close
t to sternum
- below the clavcle
Position of the other paddle (Apex): - left lower chest area
- above apex of the heart
- midax~llarylhne
Make sure that no electrode gel has been spread between the paddles on the patlent's chest
Otherw~sethe current flows on the surface between the paddles Do not spread the electrode gel on
the handles of the paddles, otherw~seenergy may flash over to the doctor In charge
5. Energy charging
After charglng the energy remalns ava~lablefor a l ~ r i i ~ t etime,
d i e 15 seconds with the PRIMEDIC'~
defibrillators. If no shock is released d u r ~ n gt h ~ stime the energy IS d~schargedInternally for safety
reasons and has to be recharged afterwards.
6. Protection against electric shock.
Before defibr~llat~ng the doctor releasing the shock has to ask all persons attend~ng to the
resuscltatlon clearly and unm~stakablyto step back from the treatment locat~onand to touch neither
the patlent nor the bed nor the connected devlces. Remove any dev~cesw ~ t h o u t deilbrillatlon
protection from the patlent before releasing the shock. Otherw~seenergy may flash over to persons In
unfavourable sltuat~ons.
7. Discharge energy (shock).
Discharge the defibr~llatorby presslng both release buttons on the paddles simultaneously
8. Check the result.
Check the c o n d ~ t ~ oofn the patlent and the ECG nionltor after d e f ~ b r ~ l l a t ~Depend~ng
on on the result of
the d e f b r ~ l l a t ~ ofurther
n def~br~llatlons In qulck succession m ~ g h be
t necessary (repeat steps 3-8) The
emergency p h y s ~ c ~ amay n ask for accompanying manual or pharmacolog~calmeasures
9. Keep the defibrillator ready for use.
Clean the paddles, cable and electrodes at the end of the resuscltat~onto ensure ava~labil~ty of the
def~br~llator for the next a p p l ~ c a t ~ o n
