Impedance dependency
For safety reasons, voltages of no more than 2.000 V are
used. The currents resulting from this as a function of pa-
tient impedance are shown in the following graph.

In some patients, the standard quantity of energy is not
adequate, as the myocardium has already sustained too
much prior damage, for example. In these cases, the Ame-
rican Heart Association and the European Resuscitation
Council both recommend increasing the energy from the
third shock onwards.
On the MEDUCORE Easy, it is therefore possible to select
a second pulse form with higher energy in Setup. The cur-
rents resulting from this pulse form as a function of patient
impedance are shown in the following graph.
