Performing Synchronized Cardioversion

In preparation for synchronized cardioversion:

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. Apply monitoring electrodes, if desired. (See “Applying Monitoring Elec-

trodes” on page 4-2.)

4. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card” on 2-

11).

5. Press On.

6. Enable Manual Mode. (See “Enabling Manual Mode” on page 6-2.)

7. Use 

 to select the best lead that displays a large QRS complex. (See 

“Selecting the Lead” on page 4-5.)

To perform synchronized cardioversion:

1. Press 

 to enable Sync Mode. The green LED next to 

 

lights up and the message 

6<1& appears on the display.

2. Use the gain control, 

, to adjust the ECG size so that the marker dot 

appears only once with each R-wave.

3. If necessary, change the energy setting (the default setting is 150 joules), 

by pressing 

 repeatedly until the desired energy level is displayed. 

The choices are 5, 10, 25, 50, 70, 100, 150, or 200 joules.

4. Press 

. Wait until the current charge has reached the energy level 

selected and you hear a continuous charge done tone.
