3 Using the HeartStart IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to read the Reminders section at the end of this chapter as well as the warnings and precautions in Appendix D. Laerdal Medical Overview If you think someone is in SCA, act quickly and calmly. If someone else is available, ask him or her to call for emergency medical assistance while you get the HeartStart. If you are alone, follow these steps: • Call your emergency services provider. • Quickly get the HeartStart and bring it to the victim’s side. If there is any delay in getting the defibrillator, check the patient and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if needed until the HeartStart is available. • If the patient is an infant or child, first perform CPR, then call for emergency medical services (EMS) before you apply the HeartStart. See special section on treating infants and children on page 3-5. • Check the immediate environment for flammable gases. Do not use the HeartStart in the presence of flammable gases, such as an oxygen tent. However, it is safe to use the HeartStart on someone wearing an oxygen mask. 3 There are three basic steps to using the defibrillator to treat someone who may be in sudden cardiac arrest: 1. PULL up the handle on the SMART Pads Cartridge. 2. PLACE the pads on the patient’s bare skin. 3. PRESS the flashing Shock button if instructed.
