Overview

Q-CPR:
• Offers measurement and corrective feedback on:
– compression rate, depth, and duration time,
– ventilation rate, volume, and flow rate (inflation time)
– CPR inactivity
• Measures compressions through a Compression Sensor and ventilations through multifunction defib electrode pads
• Is used with only the HeartStart MRx
• Is contraindicated:
– on neonatal and pediatric patients (under 8 years of age or weighing less than 25 kg)
– when CPR is contraindicated
– in a moving environment
– with any other CPR compression devices (aside from the Q-CPR Compression Sensor)

Pacer Mode

In this mode:
• Pace pulses are delivered through multifunction electrode pads.
• Waveforms, ECG monitoring, measurements, and most alarms* (from Monitor or Manual Defib Mode) remain active if enabled and retain settings.
*Arrhythmia alarms for Pacer Not Pacing and Pacer Not Capture (associated with non-transcutaneous pacing) are off. All other red and yellow alarms are active if enabled and their limits may be changed while in Pacer Mode. ECG INOPs are also annunciated.

Demand vs. Fixed Mode

Demand mode
• Pace pulses are delivered when the patient’s heart rate is lower than the selected pacing rate.
• This mode uses monitoring electrodes AND pads for pacing.
• Demand mode is the suggested pacing mode.
Fixed mode
• Pace pulses are delivered at a selected rate.
• Use when motion artifact or ECG noise makes R-wave detection unreliable or when monitoring electrodes are not available.
