Manual Defibrillator Training Flashcards
what 3 things can produce a rhythm strip?
pads
paddles
ecg leads
what button do you hit on the defibrillator to change where youre viewing the ecg from
Lead
P1
lead 1
P2
lead 2
P3
lead 3
if a patient has pads or paddles and those can produce an ecg rhythm are the ecg leads even necessary?
yes if you want to perform synchronized cardioversion
benefits of monitoring with ecg leads
more accurate
more reliable r wave sensing
what are the indications for using ecg leads on manual defib?
pacing
synchronized cardioversion
standard defib pad disadvantages
lower quality ecg signal
cant measure effectiveness of chest compressions
when is the ecg leads necessary with standard pads?
pacing
syn cardioversion
pads with compression sensor
see thru CPR feature
rate prompt
idle time prompt
depth prompt
see thru cpr feature
see underlying rhythm during compressions
rate prompt
voice says go faster if <80comp/min
idle time prompt
voice says when idle time between compressions is too long
depth prompt
hexagon on monitor fills if correct depth given
2-2.4inches
what are the two types of pads with compression sensors
posterior left anterior cpr pad
anterior anterior cpr pad
what are the 4 types of Zoll one step pads?
one step cpr
one step pacing pad
one step complete pad
one step basic pad
one step cpr pad
standard pad with cpr chest compression sensor
limitation of one step cpr
less effective r wave sensing
one step cpr pad placement
posterior left anterior
one step pacing pad
3 lead ecg system built in and has reliable r wave sensing
