3 Defibrillating in AED Mode

The HeartStart XLT’s AED Mode is designed to guide you through standard

 

treatment algorithms for cardiac arrest, including those provided by the Amer-

 

ican Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council. Configura-

 

tion choices allow you to customize AED Mode to better follow a specific

 

treatment algorithm and to meet the unique needs of your life-saving team.

 

This chapter describes how to use the HeartStart XLT to defibrillate in AED

 

Mode. It explains the prompts that guide you through the defibrillation pro-

 

cess and describes how prompts vary depending upon the condition of the

 

patient and the configuration of your device.
