ECG Monitoring
The ZOLL PD1400 Pacemaker/Defibrillator can be used for either short-term or
long-term cardiac monitoring. A fully charged battery provides 3.5 (typical) hours of
continuous monitoring.
The ZOLL
PDI 400 has built-in protection circuitry to allow patient monitoring to
continue during a defibrillation attempt. Monitoring electrodes may become
polarrzed during defibrillation discharge, causing the ECG waveform to briefly go
off-scale. High quality silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes minimize this
effect, and circuitry in the instrument will return the trace to the monitor display
within a few seconds. ECG monitoring may be accomplished through multifunction
electrodes or through standard defibrillation paddles. However, this is
typically done only for emergency evaluation of patient condition, when ECG leads
are not attached to the patient.
