Chapter 8 – Defibrillator/Pacer Introduction The portable ESCORT defibrillator/pacer can attach to any ESCORT 300, II 300, or Prism monitor to provide full resuscitation and pacing capability during transport or at the bedside via AC power or modular batteries. NOTE: The Prism monitor must be equipped with a “defibrillator slide mount”...
connection, the unit must be operated by battery power. CAUTION: Make sure to use an ECG cable with an inline resistor so the monitor is protected from high voltage during defibrillation. CAUTION: Do not operate defibrillator in the presence of high- energy electrical fields.
17. Defib Energy CHARGE Key Using Defibrillator and Pacer Paddles and Electrodes External Paddles The STERNUM defibrillating paddle contains a discharge button and serves as the negative ECG electrode (placed on the upper right sternum) when the defib ECG source key is set to PADDLE. The APEX defibrillating paddle contains both a discharge button and a charge button with ready light that functions the same as the CHARGE key on the defibrillator front panel.
To Apply Disposable Adhesive Electrodes to the Patient: 1. In a non-emergency application, clean and dry skin in electrode areas, preferably with a coarse dry terry cloth. If necessary, use alcohol for removal of lotions or moisturizers, and allow area to dry completely prior to application of pads. Do not shave electrode sites. 2.
Operating the Defibrillator 1. Ensure that the paddle cable is connected to the back of the defib/pacer behind the monitor. 2. Apply conductive gel (MDE part # E2700-83 or equivalent) to paddles. Do not let conductive gel form an alternate conductive path to the operator or between paddle sites. Otherwise, energy may flow across, rather than into, the chest cavity.
6. Place defibrillator paddles firmly on the patient’s chest with the STERNUM paddle near the upper sternum and slightly toward the patient’s right shoulder, and the APEX paddle over the cardiac apex. 7. Instruct all personnel to stand away from the patient and the bed before proceeding. 8.

3. Number “2”—select the energy to be delivered using the ENERGY SELECT knob on the front panel. NOTE: If the energy select knob is changed after a charge is initiated, the energy will change to the new level immediately, and an intermittent tone will sound during the change.
7. Observe the patient and check Prism monitor to determine results. If repeat defibrillation is necessary, readjust the energy level as prescribed by ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) protocol, and repeat the above steps. Synchronized Cardioversion Synchronized cardioversion is the delivery of a defibrillator shock synchronized with the patient’s R-wave in order to convert abnormal rhythms to a normal sinus rhythm.
6. Follow defibrillation procedure in the section “Operating the Defibrillator”. NOTE: The defib/pacer automatically goes to defib (async) mode after sync discharge. Operating the Pacer You can use MDE’s standard disposable adhesive electrodes for either pacing, or for both pacing and defibrillation.

Monitors that are situated between multiple room/bed locations may be configured to present the user with a list of query options. In this case, a room/bed query can be initiated by: (a) Selecting the desired room/bed location presented in the CIS menu (choices F1-F2).
Confirming the Patient: CIS STATUS MESSAGE: CIS STATUS MESSAGE: “CONFIRM PT” (flashing) Displays Confirmed Patient’s Name and Identification Once the query has been performed, the CIS Communication Module will display the results of that query in the CIS display zone. The results should be checked for accuracy and the name/ID verified as correct.
Using the VSC Function to Set Up CIS Charting Intervals Each monitor includes the ability to store vital signs in a tabular format at user-selectable intervals. This feature is identified as “VSC” in the monitor, short for Vital Sign Chart. This VSC feature permits the operator to determine how often and under which circumstances vital signs should be stored in the VSC table.
Page 127
In the sample VSC table illustration, notice that there is an unlabeled column to the left of the TIME column. This column is used to display a letter or symbol that represents the catalyst for that entry in the VSC table. This allows the operator to differentiate types of vital sign entries, which may be important in determining which entries should be included in the patient’s permanent record.

NOTE: If the network connection is lost per the above situation, the CIS Status Message at the top of the monitor will no longer simply display the confirmed patient name. Instead, the patient name will flash and alternate with the message “NO CIS FOUND”. This will not only alert you to the fact that your network connection is lost, but will also indicate the patient the CIS Module is saving vital sign data for in the absence of the network connection.
Using the Temporary Name Feature CIS STATUS MESSAGE: Displays Temporary Patient’s Name (Flashing) Patient vital signs information that is taken on an unconfirmed patient must be assigned a temporary patient name at the monitor. This will assist in identifying which patient record in the Clinical Information System the stored data should be sent to when the operator is ready and able to send the vital sign data to the CIS.
The optional keyboard can be used to facilitate entry of the temporary name. To use the keyboard: 1. Access the TEMP NAME function as described in the previous section “Using the Temporary Name Feature”. 2. Type in the name using the keyboard and press <Enter> on the keyboard. Retrieving Vital Signs from Previous Patients Previous patient information can be filed to the Clinical Information System any time a connection to the network exists.
Table 1 shows the parameter packet format sent by the CIS module. It is identified by its 2 byte ID <ESC> <P>. Parameter numbers and names are outlined in Table 3 along with their waveform numbers. Table 1. Port 1 - Escort II Parameter Packet 42 bytes 1 byte...
HR HIGH LIMIT is 1 byte long and represents heart rate HIGH alarm limit (not currently supported at this time). HR LOW LIMIT is 1 byte long and represents heart rate LOW alarm limit (not currently supported at this time). REMOTE STATUS is 1 byte long (see Table 5 for Remote Status).

Priority will be given to the low battery signal and the CIS module will transmit 10h.
Additional Waveforms As previously stated, the CIS module transmits two type of packet information, a parameter packet and a waveform packet. The ECG waveform is always transmitted through the serial port by default. The Clinical Information System may request additional waveforms by issuing the following command: <ESC>...
