EFIBRILLATION
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.
