Defibrillating During Pacing
If the patient must be defibrillated during pacing, follow the procedure for
defibrillating in Manual Mode on page 6-4.
Pacing is automatically turned off when you charge the defibrillator and the
pacing dialogue box is removed from the display. After a shock, pacing
remains off.
To resume pacing, refer to “Pacing” on page 8-4. When you resume, the rate,
mode, and output settings start at the settings selected prior to defibrillation.
