2.2 EXTERNAL PACING (OPTIONAL)
DESCRIPTION
9
The Rescue Life
offers a pacemaker module, also. It allows to delivers an external electrical stimulus to the
heart. The energy must be delivered through the recommended DISPOSABLE MULTIFUNCTION
ELECTRODES placed on the patient's chest (according to applicable protocol). In addition to non-invasive
pacing, other supportive measures may be necessary.
Among other factors, it is recognized that successful pacing of a patient depends to the length of time
between the onset of a dysrhythmia and the initiation of pacing. Rapid pacing and prompt follow-up care
are essential. The physiologic state of the patient may affect the probability of successful pacing or of
skeletal muscle activity. The failure to successfully pace a patient is not a reliable indicator of pacemaker
performance. In the same way, the patient's muscular response to pacing is not a reliable indicator of
energy delivered.
INTENDED USE
External pacing is intended to be used for treatment of symptomatic bradycardia in patients with a pulse.
External pacing is not intended for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and asystole.
THE ECG TRACE WILL BE DISPLAYED AND THE DEMAND MODE IS AVAILABLE ONLY IF THE PATIENT CABLE IS CONNECTED
(THE DISPOSABLE MULTINFUNCTION ELECTRODES ARE USED FOR PACING SO THEY CANNOT ACQUIRE THE ECG TRACE).
In the PACEMAKER FIELD you can review set pacemaker parameters.
