| With manual defibrillation, you must evaluate the ECG rhythm to determine whether or not it is shockable. |
| If the unit detects a shockable rhythm while in ECG monitoring mode and defibrillation electrodes are in use, the unit prompts you to check the patient and then changes to semiautomatic mode. |
| The screen message persists as long as a shockable rhythm is being detected. |
| The ECG rhythm analysis function does not warn the operator of patient asystole, as it is not a shockable rhythm. |
| As a result, not all shockable rhythms may be detected and under certain circumstances, the device may not recommend administering a shock. |
| No. My father used to be quite racy in his time, so I don't think he's that shockable. |
