8. Cardiac pacing
Temporary transcutaneous pacing for any unstable bradyarrythmia
Anterolateral or AP pads
Need cardiac leads if demand mode used
Don’t forget sedation and analgesia if patient has awareness!

9. Check DEFIBRILLATOR has pacing mode!
Activate pacing mode
Select demand or fixed mode
Set rate 70bpm +
output 1mA/kg (70mA)
Press “Start pacing”
Check your defib has a pacing function
Must have cardiac leads for “sensing” in demand mode.

10. Check for electrical capture. by 10mA until electrical capture
Confirm mechanical capture:
Add 10-15mA safety margin
Signs of perfusion

11. CHANGE TO OTHER POSITION
No capture by 130mA?
