Advisory Defibrillation Procedure

Propaq MD Operator’s Guide
16–5
Note:
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the Propaq MD does not prevent the user
from manually defibrillating the patient.
When a shockable rhythm is detected (ventricular fibrillation or wide-complex tachycardia
with heart rate > 150), the unit will display the
SHOCK ADVISED
message.
Press the
Charge
button, and press the
Select Energy
arrows up or down to select the desired energy level if
needed. Press
Charge
again to confirm.
Regardless of the analysis result, the user can control the defibrillator manually. For example,
the user can defibrillate the patient even if the advisory function issues a
NO SHOCK
ADVISED
message.
3 Press SHOCK button
WARNING!
Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND CLEAR prior to defibrillator
discharge.
Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment connected to the patient during
defibrillation. A severe shock can result. Do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s
body to come in contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame, as unwanted pathways
for defibrillation current may result.
Press and hold the
SHOCK
button
on the front panel until energy is delivered to the
patient.
The delivered energy level is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the shock number (1)
displays at the top of the screen and in the Defib Control panel at the bottom of the screen.
Note:
If at any time you want to cancel the defibrillation, press the
Disarm
softkey.
If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 seconds after reaching the selected
energy level, the unit automatically disarms itself.
If additional countershocks are needed, follow steps 1 through 3 of this procedure starting on
page 16-3, to readjust the energy settings, charge the unit, and deliver shock.
Perform CPR
Begin chest compressions and rescue breathing per local protocol.
