3.6 DEFIBRILLATION

WARNING – INCORRECT ECG ANALYSIS

Compressions interfere with ECG analysis.

Switch off LUCAS before ECG analysis. Make the

interruption as short as possible.

WARNING – INADEQUATE COMPRESSION

Patient’s movements may change adjustment of

suction cup.

Verify position of suction cup after defibrillation,

re-adjust if necessary.

Note: Self-adhesive electrodes should be used during

defibrillation as these make it easier to work with

LUCAS. Position the defibrillator electrodes and

wires so they are not under the suction cup; if

electrodes are already on the patient, you may need

to apply new electrodes.

Defibrillation can be performed when LUCAS is

applied to the patient (Figure g).

1. Apply electrodes and perform the defibrillation

according to manufacturer’s instruction for the

defibrillator.

2. After defibrillation or analysis of the outcome

verify the position of the suction cup and

re-adjust if necessary.
