Chapter 9 Manual Defibrillation
1 Select Energy Level
The energy level can be manually selected or the pre-configured energy settings can be used.
Observe the energy setting on the display before changing it manually since manually changing
the energy level outside the preprogrammed sequence and delivering a shock disables the
automatic escalation function.
Manual Energy Selection
To select the energy level, press the front panel Energy Select arrows up or down to select the
desired energy level.
The selected energy level is shown on the display.
Pre-configured Energy Selection
If Shocks 1, 2, and 3 have been configured to escalating energy levels using the Auto Energy
Escalation feature, the ZOLL M2 unit automatically sets the energy to the preconfigured
Energy Level: Shock 1, 2, 3 setting at power-up and after each of the first two shocks.
Note:
The default energy selections for adult patients:
Shock 1 - 120 joules
Shock 2 - 150 joules
Shock 3 - 200 joules
The default energy selections for pediatric patients:
Shock 1 - 50 joules
Shock 2 - 70 joules
Shock 3 - 85 joules

After the third shock, all subsequent shocks are delivered at the same energy as the
third shock in both Adult and Pediatric modes.
Pre-configured energy settings may not always be appropriate. Verify that the currently
selected energy is appropriate for the patient and change the setting if deemed
necessary.
