Rescue Protocol; Star® Biphasic Waveform - Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 Elite Series Operators & Service Manual

Introduction

Rescue protocol

The AED rescue protocol is consistent with the guidelines
recommended by the AHA/ERC 2015 Guidelines for Resuscitation
and Emergency Cardiac Care.
Upon detecting a shockable cardiac rhythm, the AED advises
the operator to press the SHOCK button (9790E only) to deliver a
defibrillation shock followed by directions to perform 2 minutes
of CPR.
For the Powerheart® AED G3 Automatic, upon detecting a
shockable rhythm, the AED will automatically deliver a
defibrillation shock followed by directions to perform 2 minutes
of CPR.
STAR® biphasic waveform
The STAR Biphasic Waveform is designed to measure the patient's
impedance and deliver a customized shock. This allows the
delivery of an optimized energy level to each patient. The energy
levels for the Powerheart® G3 AED are available in three different
defibrillation shock levels.
The Ultra-Low Energy (150 VE), Low Energy (200 VE), and High
Energy (300 VE) shocks are variable energy. The actual energy is
determined by the patient's impedance. See Table 2-2 on page
2-10, Table 6-2 on page 6-8, Table 6-3 on page 6-8, and Table 6-4
on page 6-9 for additional information. For pediatric patients, see
