The Heartstream FR2Semi-Automatic External Defibrillator

Heartstream FR2 AEDResponding to Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Slide 4

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

• Abrupt loss of heart pump function

• Death certain without rapid treatment

Slide 5

The Heart Pump: A Series of Events...

• An electrical event…

• Stimulates a mechanical event…

• Results in rhythmic and coordinated pumping action of the heart

Main Pumping Chambers

Slide 6

SCA: Heart in Chaos Ventricular Fibrillation• Abnormal; irregular,

very fast heart rhythm

• Heart can’t pump blood effectively

• Victim: Unconscious Not breathing spontaneously No pulse

• Only definitive treatment: Defibrillation

Slide 7

Defibrillation

• Electric shock to the heart

• Stops uncoordinated activity

• Allows coordinated heart rhythm and pumping action to resume

• Only effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation

Slide 8

Heartstream FR2 AED

• Heartstream FR2 AED is• Easier than CPR• Low maintenance• Safe and effective

• Heartstream FR2 AED automatically• Prompts the user• Interprets heart rhythm• Advises “Shock” only if needed

Slide 9

“Chain of Survival”

• Rapid, coordinated response improves outcome

Care

Slide 10

Role of CPR

• Integral componentof AED use

• CPR circulates oxygen ...• Prolongs heart’s

electrical activity• Minimizes brain

damage

• … but defibrillation is the definitive treatment

Slide 11

Role of the AED Provider

• Recognize emergency

• Activate EMS/emergency response

• Verify SCA

• Access the Heartstream FR2 AED

• Attach Heartstream FR2 AED and follow prompts

• Provide BLS/CPR as indicated

Heartstream FR2 AED Operation

Slide 14

Verify SCA

Not breathing

No detectable pulse

Unconscious

• Assess ABC’s

Slide 15

Turn On AED

• Push the green On/Off button

• Voice and screen prompts begin

• Data collection starts

Slide 16

Apply Pads

• Apply pads as shown on icons

• Plug in pads connector

Slide 17

Pads Location

• Pad on patient’s right• Below collar bone• Right of sternum

• Pad on patient’s left• On rib cage• Below breast• Wrapped towards back

Slide 18

Rhythm Analysis

• Automatic decision-making process

• Don’t touch patient during analysis

• Outcome of analysis• Shock advised• No shock advised

Slide 19

Deliver Shock

• Before shock button is pushed• Verbal clear• Visual clear

• Push shock button when advised and follow prompts

Slide 20

Pause for CPR

• Fill bar shows progress through pause

• Heartstream FR2 AED will prompt you at completion “Analyzing...”

Slide 21

No Shock Advised

• Heartstream FR2 continues to monitor ECG

• Provide BLS/CPR as indicated

• Heartstream FR2 will advise when analysis is needed

Heartstream FR2 AED Troubleshooting

Slide 23

Troubleshooting

• “APPLY PADS. PLUG IN CONNECTOR.”

• Possible cause:Pads and/or pads connector are not firmly attached.

• Sample corrective action:Press pads firmly to patient’s bare chest and insert connector.

Slide 24

Troubleshooting

• “PRESS PADS FIRMLY TO PATIENT’S BARE CHEST.”

• Possible cause:Incomplete pad contact with the skin.

• Sample corrective action:Prep skin, press entire pad onto the chest.

Slide 25

Troubleshooting

• “REPLACE PADS.”

• Possible cause:Pads, cable, or connector damage or short.

• Sample corrective action:Replace the pads.

Slide 26

Troubleshooting

• “ANALYZING INTERRUPTED.”

• Possible cause:Patient is being moved or jostled

• Sample corrective action:Stop CPR; do not touch patient.

Heartstream FR2 Other Considerations

Slide 28

Other Considerations

• Implanted pacemakers or defibrillators

• Wet surfaces

• Metal surfaces

• Medication patches

• Children

Heartstream FR2 Data Collection and Management

Slide 30

Event Storage and Review

• Data storage• Data card

• Data review• Download data from

Data Card to computer

Heartstream FR2 Maintenance

Slide 32

Maintenance

• Temperature

• Cleaning

Slide 33

Automatic Selftests

• Selftests• Automatic• Comprehensive

• Test result displayed in Status Indicator window

Slide 34

Status Indicator

• Status Indicator signals

• Ready for use:

• Use not advised; troubleshoot:

• Do not use; change battery:

Slide 35

Battery Insertion Selftest

• Run the battery insertion selftest• If status indicator doesn’t

display flashing black hourglass

• If a problem is suspected• After use or training

• Battery insertion selftest is initiated by• Removing and re-installing battery

Slide 36

Battery Insertion Selftest

• Battery insertion selftest results• Status indicator • Display screen

• Passed• Interactive selftest begins

• Failed• Install new battery;

perform battery insertion selftest• If second selftest fails, take FR2 AED out of service

Slide 37
