1 Manual Defibrillators, Automatic External Defibrillators, Cardioversion, and External Pacing D. J. McMahon cewood rev

2 Key Points Defibrillators: - know the definition & electrical value of a joule - monophasic vs biphasic types: - differences in output - know typical voltage and current values - advantages of biphasic - AED s - how they differ from full-function defibrillators - cardioversion - what it is, what it is not, and how a defibrillator is used for it - external pacers in defibrillators: - asynchronous and synchronous

3 Very early defibrillators Use of electricity to stop fibrillation first discovered by Prevost & Batelli in Used AC, not DC.

5 local manufacturers on parade; Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI)

6

7 joule: Unit of energy or work: James P Joule 1 Newton through a distance of 1 meter or 1 amp through 1 ohm for 1 second Mathematically, the joule can be defined both ways, but the convention is to use joules for energy, and newton-meters for torque. One joule = one watt-second = ~ 0.24 calorie = ~ 0.74 foot-pound

8

9 Essential monophasic defibrillator with switch A in this position, defibrillation is happening, (not charging) Coil

10 The Lown waveform: Monophasic, damped

11 Basic Lown waveform creation Energy in the capacitor : U = ½ CV p 2

12 Specific Lown waveform creation

13

14 Biphasic defibrillation: > 1990 s improvement in defib circuitry. > Achieves defibrillation in fewer attempts, using lower energies in each attempt. > Less time delay in salvaging a cardiac crisis, and less damage to the heart. > became biphasic truncated exponential (BTE) waveform (Physio Control and Philips)

15

16

17 Current & Time at Various Patient Impedances Test loads are 50Ω

18 (biphasic truncated exponential)

19 Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT): - Combines an isolated gate FET for the input, and a bipolar power transistor as a switch, in a single device. - Has the gate-drive characteristics of a MOSFET and the high-current and low-saturation-voltage capability of a bipolar transistor. - Used in medium- to high-power applications.

22

23 Some manufacturers of biphasic defibs provide a maximum energy of 200 joules, while many provide a maximum of 360 joules.

24 Defib voltages are very brief, but very high and potentially lethal!

25 Pads have replaced paddles in most applications of defibrillators. Pads assure a better contact with the patient s skin, so resistive losses are minimized. They are also safer for the user. Paddles, internal as well as external, are still used in specific clinical areas (O.R., PACU, etc.) paddles pads spoons for OR

26 Correct placement of the pads or paddles is important

27

28 Internal paddles for use in open-heart surgery: Placed directly on the heart to re-start the beat. Defibrillator limits energy to them at 50 joules.

29 2010 AHA Guidelines for pediatric defibrillation: With a manual defibrillator use a dose of 2 J/kg for the first attempt, and 4 J/kg for subsequent attempts.

30 ECG Input Protection from Defibrillator Pulses:

31 NE2H lamps

32 HP Codemaster : monophasic (~ 1990)

33 Things to watch for - Junction of cable pulled away from a defibrillator connector

34 Conductive gel left on paddles from a previous use.

35 Automatic External Defibrillators (AED s) > Semi-automated defibs that analyze cardiac status and deliver therapeutic shock as indicated, using a pre-set algorithm and voice commands. > Intended for non-clinical settings, for use by non-clinicians. > Typical biomed maintenance consists of a functional check and a battery check.

36 Typical block diagram for an AED

37

38

39 Defibs for Cardioversion (this is not defibrillation!) > The use of a small energy pulse from a defibrillator to convert a non-lethal arrhythmia (e.g. atrial flutter) to a normal sinus rhythm > Delivers a pulse about 30ms after the peak of the R-wave, synchronized by the defibrillator > Modern units can discriminate the R-wave from the T-wave or noise spikes

40 Timing of cardioversion pulse Do NOT cardiovert across the T-wave!

41 Defibs as External Pacemakers Defibrillators can be used as temporary external pacemakers for patients with bradycardia or other issues. Pacing is either synchronous or asynchronous : In Synchronous pacing ( Demand mode): pacer fires only when no complex is sensed for a predetermined amount of time. In Asynchronous pacing: pacer fires at a fixed rate at preset intervals, independent of cardiac activity. ( not synchronized means the pacemaker leads and the heart follows)

42 Typical external pacemakers deliver a 40-millisecond impulse for each beat. The average current necessary for external pacing is from ma, depending on the cardiac status. In pacing, the same defibrillator electrodes are used.

43

44

45

46 Automatic Internal Cardiac Defibrillators (AICD s) Small implanted defibrillators that sense the ECG, and provide an appropriate pulse to the myocardium if and when they sense a dangerous ventricular arrhythmia such as V-fibrillation, V-tachycardia, SVT, etc. > These are not the same as a pacemaker > Not a biomed concern

47 Zoll s LifeVest - wearable defibrillator with ECG monitoring
