Creating a Patient Record

The HeartStart XLT creates an Event Summary patient record for each new patient. Each record is assigned a unique incident number. The HeartStart XLT keeps the Event Summary in its internal memory until you begin caring for a new patient. It assumes that:

Table 9-2 Patient Record Summary

If:	Then:
Power is off for more than 2 minutes	You are caring for a new patient. The
and a new event is recorded	last internal Event Summary is deleted;
	a new Event Summary is started and a
	new incident record is created on the
	Data Card.
Power is off less than 2 minutes	You are continuing to care for the same
	patient. Additional events are appended
	to the Event Summary; the annotation
	"Continued Use" is printed on the
	Event Summary.

The Continued Use feature allows you to change batteries or shut the Heart-

Start XLT off briefly (for 2 minutes), while preserving the current patient 9 record. Events recorded after the power interruption are appended to the

patient record. Continued use also preserves alarm settings.
