The Welch Allyn AED20 determines if a shockable situation exists by analyzing the patient's cardiac rhythm. If the rhythm is deemed shockable, the device will indicate "Shock advised" through text and voice alerts. In contrast, if the rhythm is non-shockable, the device will display "No shock advised" to the user. Before delivering a shock, ensure that the Shock button is flashing, indicating proper charging. It is crucial to ensure that no one is in contact with the patient before pressing the Shock button. Once a shock is administered, the AED20 continues to analyze the heart rhythm to determine if additional shocks are necessary, following a predefined protocol for shock delivery and potential CPR interventions.
If the Welch Allyn AED20 does not automatically arm the Shock button when a shockable situation is detected, follow these steps: 1. Stand clear and press the red Shock button immediately. 2. Ensure that the Shock button next to the number "3" is flashing, indicating proper charging. 3. Push the Shock button to deliver a shock. 4. Make sure no one is touching the patient before pressing the Shock button. Announce loudly to stand back and ensure no contact with the patient. 5. After delivering a shock, the AED20 will continue to analyze the heart rhythm and prompt for additional shocks if needed.
To ensure proper placement and avoid burns during defibrillation with the Welch Allyn AED 20 defibrillator, follow these steps: 1. Open the package containing the defibrillation pads and cable. 2. Peel off the backing from the electrode pad labeled RA. 3. Place this pad just below the patient’s right collar bone (sternum). 4. Do not allow defibrillation pads to touch each other or other ECG electrodes, lead wires, dressings, or transdermal patches to prevent patient skin burns and diverting current away from the heart. 5. Remove excessive body hair to avoid skin burns or ineffective energy transfer. 6. Use only Welch Allyn electrode monitoring cables to prevent burns to the patient. 7. Before charging the defibrillator, verify the selected energy on the display is the desired output. 8. Disconnect any medical electronic device not labeled before defibrillation.
