Preparing for Pacing
In preparation for pacing:
1. Apply multifunction defib electrode pads as directed on the package. Use
either the anterior-anterior or anterior-posterior placement, as appropriate.
2. Connect the pads to the patient cable. (See Figure 6-2.)
3. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card” on 2-
11).
4. Press On.
5. Enable Manual Mode. (See “Enabling Manual Mode” on page 6-2.)
In addition, for demand mode pacing:
1. Apply monitoring electrodes. (See “Applying Monitoring Electrodes” on
page 4-2.)
2. Use
to select the best lead with an easily detectable R-wave (See
“Selecting the Lead” on page 4-5.) If you do not select a lead (i.e. pads is
the selected ECG source),
the selected ECG source),
/HDG, is automatically selected when the pacing
function is turned on.
NOTE
If pacing for long periods of time, new monitoring electrodes and multifunc-
tion defib electrode pads may need to be applied periodically. Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation for how often to change monitoring electrodes
or defib pads.
