Synchronized Cardioversion Using the LIFEPAK 6s
1.
Set up the LIFEPAK 6s defibrillator and any other instrumentation according to
institutional procedures or manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Warning If the R-wave synchronization markers do not appear to be nearly
simultaneous with the R-wave peaks on the Propaq Encore display or are not
present, do not proceed with synchronized cardioversion.
You must press the LIFEPAK 5’s SYNC button and check for appropriate
synchronization markers on the Propaq Encore before each attempt at
cardioversion. Welch Allyn cannot guarantee the delay from the sync marker
to the defibrillator discharge.
A fault in the cable between the Propaq Encore and the defibrillator, or
unplugging the cable, will prevent showing markers on the Propaq and can
prevent setting the defibrillator to synchronized mode.
The Physio-Control LP6s Defibrillator Sync Connector/Cover (Physio-Control
part number 801297-00) must be installed before you can connect it to the
Propaq Encore monitor.
