About
Therapy Electrodes:
There are two styles of pre-gelled, self-adhesive therapy electrodes
available: QUIK-COMBO pacing/ defibrillation/ECG electrodes and
FAST-PATCH defibrillation/ECG electrodes. Both types of electrodes
may be used for defibrillation, synchronized cardio-version, ECG
monitoring, and pacing. To use FAST-PATCH electrodes for pacing with the
LIFEPAK 12 defibrillator requires the addition of a
FAST-PATCH
defibrillation adapter cable. The therapy cable connects the QUIK-COMBO
or FAST-PATCH electrodes to the defibrillator. |

FAST-PATCH electrodes can be used on pediatric patients if the placement meets conditions noted directly below. These conditions can normally be met with children weighing 15 kg (33 lbs) or more. Electrode Placement : When using QUIK-COMBO or FAST-PATCH electrodes, make sure the electrodes: • Fit completely on the chest. • Have at least one inch of space between electrodes. • Do not overlap bony prominences of sternum or spine. To place the electrodes: 1 Prepare the patient for electrode placement: • Remove all clothing from the patient’s chest. • Remove excessive chest hair as much as possible. Avoid nicking or cutting the skin if using a shaver or razor. If possible, avoid placing the electrodes over broken skin. • Clean and dry the skin. If there is ointment on the patient’s chest, use soap and water to clean the skin. Briskly wipe the skin dry with a towel or gauze. This mildly abrades the skin and removes oils, dirt, and other debris for better electrode adhesion to the skin. Do not use alcohol, tincture of benzoin, or antiperspirant to prep the skin. 2 Slowly peel back the protective liner on the electrodes, beginning with the cable connection end. Peeling the Liner from the Electrode 3 Place the electrodes in the anterior-lateral or anterior-posterior position depending on the therapy to be provided and special placement considerations. 4 Starting from one edge, firmly press the electrode on the patient’s chest to eliminate air pockets between the gel surface and the skin. Firmly press all adhesive edges to the skin. Note:Once applied, therapy electrodes should not be repositioned.
Replacing and Removing Electrodes:
Replace QUIK-COMBO electrodes after 50 defibrillation shocks or 24
hours on the patient’s skin or 8 hours of continuous pacing.
To remove QUIK-COMBO or FAST-PATCH electrodes from the patient: 1
Slowly peel back the electrode from the edge, supporting the skin.
Removing
Therapy Electrodes from Skin
2 Clean and dry
the patient’s skin. 3 When replacing electrodes, adjust the
electrode positions slightly to help prevent skin burns. 4 Close the
protective cover on the QUIK-COMBO therapy cable connector when the
cable is not in use. In addition, disconnect the defibrillation
cable from the FAST-PATCH electrodes. 1 Press down around the
electrode post. 2 Pinch the snap connector with the fingers of the
other hand and pull straight up.
