Risk of injury due to shock delivery with an unstable ECG curve!
An unstable ECG curve may lead to shock delivery at the wrong
time. This may injure the patient.
Always wait until the ECG curve has stabilized.
10. Wait until the ECG curve has stabilized.
Delayed therapy due to incorrectly selected feed rate for the
ECG!
An incorrectly selected feed rate may make it harder to assess
R waves, delaying therapy.
Select the feed rate of the ECG so that reliable assessment of
R wave detection is possible.
11. Select the feed rate of the ECG so that reliable assessment of
R wave detection is possible.
Risk of injury due to shock being delivered at the wrong time
during cardioversion!
A cardioversion carried out at the wrong time may lead to cardiac
arrhythmias and cause the patient severe or life-threatening injury.
Ensure that the ECG is stable.
Ensure that the device detects and marks R waves correctly in
the ECG.
Risk of injury from pacemaker pulses incorrectly detected as
R waves!
Pacemaker pulses may lead to the device interpreting them as
R waves and triggering a shock at the wrong time.
Ensure that the device detects and marks R waves correctly in
the ECG.
12. Check the ECG curve, and that the triangles
