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.	3
