Defibrillation• Defibrillation is used to
restore a normal rhythm to the heart
• An automated external defibrillator (AED) is used when a casualty is not breathing and not responsive
• AED’s do not replace CPR, both techniques are used together
Turn the machine on
Apply the pads
Respond to the prompts

What is an AED ?
Automatic external defibrillators (AED’s) are:
• Portable devices• Able to recognise
shockable rhythms in a patient in cardiac arrest
• Able to deliver an electrical shock to attempt to revert the heart back to its normal rhythm
5
SLSA Policy : An AED can be used on children aged 1 and above. If the AED has a child setting this should be used.

Defibrillation process
To prepare the casualty:
• Expose the casualty’s chest• If necessary shave chest where the pads will be
placed• Dry casualty’s chest• Remove any medication patches in pad area• Remove conductive jewelry around the chest/neck
area• Pads 8 cm away from pacemakers
6

Safety precautionsA safe working environment must be created before defibrillation can occur.
The three danger areas are:• Contact
– No person to be in direct or indirect contact with the casualty when shock is delivered “I’m clear, your clear”
• Conduction– No conductive items near or on the casualty, including:
• Fluids, metal, body fluids on the casualty’s chest (sweat, blood, etc)• Explosion
– Oxygen equipment, minimum 1m away– No combustible gasses/vapors– No naked flames– No flammable substances on clothes

Pad placement
9
Remove Pads from foil packs
Peel pads from backing
Position pads as shown • Use rolling motion • No air bubbles
Note:Do not remove pads after a patient starts breathing again.Do not place pads over medication patchesEnsure pads are at least 8cm away from implanted pacemakers

Shock protocolsas recommended by ARC
10
Shock not recommendedNo “Life signs”- CPR
“Life signs” Lateral position
StartTurn on

Why use oxygen?
• Increases oxygen Uptake ( concentration in the lungs)
• Therapy setting 8L per min: Increases uptake of oxygen from 16% > 45%
• Resus setting 14-15L per min: Oxygen >50%
• Promote recovery in most First Aid situations
• Minimise cross infection risks (no mouth to mouth/mask)
Oxygen assists most patients who require resuscitation or who are recovering from injury or trauma
The oxygen equipment policy is located on the SLSA website at: www.sls.com.au

Safety precautions Oxygen equipment must be checked before patrol by a qualified Advanced Resuscitation award holder•No open flames, cigarettes •No grease or oil with oxygen equipment•Keep oxygen equipment clear of defibrillator•Store oxygen bottles laying flat or secured standing upright•Store oxygen in a cool, well ventilated place

Administering oxygen therapy • Select therapy mask and remove from packaging, attach to tubing
and unit• Turn unit on, flow should be detectable• Secure mask to patients, adjust elastic and pinch metal noseband• Reassure the patientUnconscious patient: • Administer therapy in the Lateral position
15
If the patient does not want to use the mask.
Remove the mask and direct oxygen flow around the
mouth and nose
