6.5 Defibrillation and ECG
Caution
Do not interchange the defibrillation electrodes and ECG electrodes on the chest of
the manikin.
When using a defibrillator, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions
for use, particularly the safety rules.
•
Before starting the actual training, the instructor should inform the trainees
about the proper use of the defibrillator, alerting them to the hazards involved in
disregarding the safety rules.
•
The manikin is sensitive to moisture. Make sure it does not get wet, as this might
cause a short-circuit.
6.5.1 Defibrillation
The manikin allows defibrillation with biphasic and monophasic, manual and -semi-
automatic defibrillator or AED's (Automatic External Defibrillators) up to 400 Joule.
6.5.2 Defibrillation electrodes
If standard paddles are used, these should be pressed against the 2 defibrillation
electrodes on the manikin's chest. The rhythm can now be read on the defibrillator screen
and defibrillation can be performed on the manikin.
Adapter for manual defibrillation is available, which makes the defibrillation electrodes
bigger and therefore ensures a better contact between the paddles and the electrodes.
If semi-automatic defibrillators or AED's with adhesive chest electrodes are used, special
adapters for the specific defibrillator (simulating the adhesive chest electrodes) should be
fitted to the chest defibrillation electrodes on the manikin making it possible to connect
the cable from the AED's.
6.5.3 ECG leads
4 ECG connectors are placed on the chest of the manikin making it possible to simulate
3-4 lead ECG and monitor the ECG on a defibrillator and a separate scope.
6.5.4 ECG-Box ⑧
The simulation of the ECG signal is controlled by the ECG-Box as a part of the CPR-
Software. Further detailed information can be found in the Directions for use for the
Ambu CPR-Software.
