Preface

ABOUT AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATION

The following considerations and guidelines apply when using the LIFEPAK® 20e defibrillator/ monitor as an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Operator Considerations

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor, when in AED mode, is a semiautomatic defibrillator that uses a patented Shock Advisory System™. This software algorithm analyzes the patient’s electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm and indicates whether or not it detects a shockable rhythm. The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor in AED mode requires operator interaction to defibrillate the patient.

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor in AED mode is intended for use by personnel who are authorized by a physician/medical director and have, at a minimum, the following skills and training:

CPR training.

AED training equivalent to that recommended by the American Heart Association.

Training in the use of the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor in AED mode.

Indications

The AED mode is to be used only on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing normally before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient’s ECG rhythm.

In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor is not intended for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years old.

Contraindications

None known.

LIFEPAK 20e Defibrillator/Monitor Operating Instructions

Preface

ABOUT DEFIBRILLATION THERAPY

Operator Considerations

A direct current defibrillator applies a brief, intense pulse of electricity to the heart muscle. The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor delivers this energy through disposable electrodes, standard paddles or internal paddles applied to the patient’s chest.

Defibrillation is only one aspect of the medical care required to resuscitate a patient with a shockable ECG rhythm. Depending on the situation, other supportive measures may include:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

Administration of supplemental oxygen

Drug therapy

Successful resuscitation is related to the length of time between the onset of a heart rhythm that does not circulate blood (ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and defibrillation. The American Heart Association has identified the following as critical links in the chain of survival from cardiac arrest:

Early access

Early CPR by first responders or bystanders

Early defibrillation

Early advanced life support

The physiological state of the patient may affect the likelihood of successful defibrillation. Thus, failure to resuscitate a patient is not a reliable indicator of defibrillator performance. Patients will often exhibit a muscular response (such as jumping or twitching) during an energy transfer. The absence of such a response is not a reliable indicator of actual energy delivery or device performance.

Indications

Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain potentially fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of this energy in the synchronized mode is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and, in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia.

Contraindications

Defibrillation is contraindicated in the treatment of Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) such as idioventricular or ventricular escape rhythms, and in the treatment of asystole.

Preface

ABOUT NONINVASIVE PACING

A noninvasive pacemaker is a device that delivers an electrical stimulus to the heart, causing cardiac depolarization and myocardial contraction. The energy is delivered through large adhesive electrodes placed on the chest. In addition to noninvasive pacing, other supportive measures may be necessary.

Among other factors, it is recognized that successful pacing of a patient is related 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 likelihood of successful pacing or of skeletal muscle activity. The failure to successfully pace a patient is not a reliable indicator of pacemaker performance. Similarly, the patient’s muscular response to pacing is not a reliable indicator of energy delivered. Refer to the booklet, Noninvasive Pacing: What You Should Know for further information.

Indications

Noninvasive pacing is indicated for symptomatic bradycardia in patients with a pulse.

Contraindications

Noninvasive pacing is contraindicated for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and asystole.

ABOUT SPO2 MONITORING

A pulse oximeter is a noninvasive device that checks the saturation of oxygen in arterial blood (SpO2). It uses an optical sensor that directs light through the patient’s finger and then measures the received light with a detector. This received light is translated into a saturation percentage and is displayed as an SpO2 reading.

Indications

A pulse oximeter is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia.

Contraindications

None known.

ABOUT ECG MONITORING

The ECG (electrocardiogram) is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. ECG monitoring allows for identification and interpretation of cardiac rhythms or dysrhythmias and calculation of heart rate. The ECG is obtained by placing either electrodes or paddles on the patient and allows the heart’s electrical activity to be monitored and recorded.

LIFEPAK 20e Defibrillator/Monitor Operating Instructions

Preface

ABOUT ETCO2 MONITORING

The end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitor is a capnograph device that uses non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of CO2 during each breath and report the amount present at the end of exhalation (EtCO2). The sample is obtained by the side stream method and can be used with intubated or nonintubated patients. Respiration rate is also measured and displayed in breaths per minute.

The EtCO2 monitor is a tool to be used in addition to patient assessment. Care should be taken to assess the patient at all times; do not rely solely on the EtCO2 monitor.

Indications

EtCO2 monitoring is used to detect the level of expired CO2. It is used for monitoring breathing efficacy and treatment effectiveness in acute cardiopulmonary care, for example, to determine if adequate compressions are being performed during CPR or to rapidly detect whether an endotracheal tube has been placed successfully.

Contraindications

None known.

Basic Orientation

INTRODUCTION

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor with enhanced battery technology is an acute cardiac care response system intended for use by authorized healthcare providers in hospital and clinic settings.

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor offers the following optional features:

Semiautomatic defibrillator

Noninvasive pacemaker

Pulse oximeter

Paddle accessories

End-tidal CO2 monitor

Data transmission

Note: These operating instructions include information and procedures related to all features of the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor and the CodeManagement Module for use with the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor. Your LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor may not have all of these features. For more information, contact your Physio-Control representative or call the number listed on the back cover of these operating instructions.

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor is available only with the biphasic defibrillation waveform. For a description of the defibrillation waveform, refer to Appendix A.

The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor uses QUIK-COMBO® pacing/defibrillation/ECG electrodes or FAST-PATCH® disposable defibrillation/ECG electrodes for ECG monitoring and patient therapy. The therapy cable connects the QUIK-COMBO or FAST-PATCH electrodes to the defibrillator. For more information about QUIK-COMBO or FAST-PATCH electrodes, refer to Section 3 of these operating instructions.

The standard paddle set is an accessory for the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor and includes adult and pediatric defibrillator (hard) paddles. The standard paddles can be used for QUIK-LOOK® ECG monitoring, defibrillation, and synchronized cardioversion therapies. When using standard paddles, a conductive interface designed for defibrillation, such as defibrillation gel or gel pads, must be used between the paddle electrode surface and the skin.

The adult standard paddles can be used for any pediatric patient weighing approximately 10 kg (22 lb) or more as long as the paddles fit completely on the chest and there is at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) of space between the paddle electrodes. Pediatric paddles should be used for patients weighing 10 kg (22 lb) or less or those whose chests are too small to accommodate the adult paddles.

Optional internal paddles are also available.

For more information about using paddle accessories, refer to Section 5 of these operating instructions.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTING

After you have removed the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor from the shipping container, make sure you have all the required supplies and accessories including cables and ECG paper. Examine the defibrillator and all accessories for any sign of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If possible, save the shipping container and foam inserts in case you have to ship the defibrillator at a later date.
