Defibrillator Complications<br />

Inappropriate<br />

defibrillatron or cardioversion on a patient (e.g., with no malignant<br />

arrhythmia) may precipitate ventricular fibrillation, asystole, or other dangerous<br />

arrhythmias. Defibrillation without proper application of paddle electrolyte<br />

gel may be ineffective and cause burns, particularly when repeated shocks<br />

are necessary.<br />

Defibrillator Output Energy<br />

The ZOLL PD <strong>1400</strong> delivers up to 360 joules into a 50 ohm impedance. The<br />

energy delivered through the chest wall, however, is controlled by skin imped<br />

antes. An adequate amount of electrolyte gel must be applied to the paddles<br />

and a force of 1 O-l 2 kilograms must be applied to each paddle in order to<br />

minimize skin impedance. If multi-function electrodes are used, make sure<br />

that they are properly applied. (See Chapter 3)<br />

MONITOR This product contains a non-fade monitor for observation of the patient’s cardiac<br />

FUNCTION rhythm. The monitor displays the ECG in moving trace mode at 25<br />

period of 3.4 seconds.<br />

mm/set for a<br />

Also displayed on the monitor are:<br />

W heart rate, derived from measuring<br />

W lead selections<br />

� ECG size<br />

- .5, 1 .O, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0<br />

W pacemaker output in milliamps<br />

� defibrillator output in joules<br />

- I, II, III, PADDLES, or ELECTRODES<br />

cm/mV<br />

R to R intervals<br />

� other operational prompts, messages, and diagnostic codes<br />

General Information<br />

RECORDER The hard copy recorder is used to document events. The recorder normally<br />

FUNCTION operates in the delay mode (6 seconds) to insure capture of critical ECG information.<br />

It may be activated manually by pressing the RECORDER ON/OFF button. It<br />

will be activated automatically whenever the defibrillator discharge buttons have<br />

been pressed or a Heart Rate Alarm activates. The recorder may also be configured<br />

not to print during these events. (See Recorder Configuration, Chapter 2 for<br />

more information.)
