STEP 3: PRESS THE SHOCK BUTTON
As soon as the OnSite detects that the pads are attached to the patient, it begins
analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm. It tells you that no one should be touching the
patient, and the Caution light begins flashing as a reminder.
If a shock is needed:
The Caution light goes from flashing to solid, the orange Shock button
starts flashing, and the OnSite tells you to press the flashing orange button. Before
you press the button, make sure no one is touching the patient. When you press
the Shock button, the OnSite tells you that the shock has been delivered. Then the
OnSite tells you it is safe to touch the patient, instructs you to begin CPR, and
invites you to press the flashing blue i-button for CPR Coaching if desired.
If a shock is not needed:
The OnSite tells you it is safe to touch the patient and instructs you to perform
CPR if needed. (If CPR is not needed – for example, if the patient is moving or
regaining consciousness – follow your local protocol until emergency medical
personnel arrive.) Then the OnSite invites you to press the flashing blue i-button
for CPR Coaching, if desired.
For CPR Coaching:
Press the flashing blue i-button
during the first 30 seconds of the patient care
pause to activate CPR Coaching.
*
(If the Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge is
inserted, CPR Coaching will provide coaching for infant/child CPR.) When the
pause is over, the OnSite tells you to stop CPR, so it can analyze the patient’s
heart rhythm. The motion caused by CPR can interfere with analysis, so be sure to
stop all motion when instructed.
* The default configuration for the OnSite provides CPR Coaching when you press the i-
button in this situation; however, the default setting can be revised by your Medical
Director using Philips software available separately. See Appendix F for more
information.
