Monitor-defibrillator for ambulance and hospital
The cardiolife EMS-1052 from Nihon Kohden is a light, compact monitor-defibrillator for fast help in an emergency. The device weighs 4.2 kg and is ready for use 4 seconds after it is switched on.
You operate the device with a touchscreen and a rotary knob. Defibrillation takes three steps.
What the device can do
- Defibrillation: manual and in AED mode.
- Synchronised cardioversion.
- External pacing.
Measuring and monitoring
According to the manufacturer’s product page, the device measures 3-lead ECG, SpO₂, CO₂ (capnography with the cap-ONE sensor), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), 18-lead ECG (synECi18), invasive blood pressure (IBP), temperature and cardiac output. Which measurements come with your version, we discuss with you beforehand.
synECi18: 18-lead ECG
synECi18 derives six extra leads from a 12-lead ECG, without you attaching extra electrodes. It gives information about the posterior wall and the right ventricle, intended for patients with a STEMI.
CO₂ and ETCO₂
You use the cap-ONE sensor to confirm the position of the tracheal tube, to monitor the quality of CPR and to indicate ROSC. An audible ETCO₂ tone uses five different sounds to indicate five ETCO₂ ranges, from high to low.
AED mode and CPR feedback
In AED mode the device analyses the rhythm (VF/VT) continuously. It charges while the first analysis is being confirmed. According to the manufacturer, Clear Wave Pads filter interference from chest compressions out of the ECG.
The CPR assist (CPR-1100) from Nihon Kohden connects wirelessly and gives feedback on the rate and depth of the chest compressions.
Data
The manufacturer lists data transmission as part of the device, for example sending the 12-lead ECG with a STEMI alert. Which connections and protocols suit your ambulance service or hospital, we discuss with you beforehand.
Consumables and accessories
The manufacturer lists disposable defibrillation pads, CO₂ sensors, SpO₂ sensors and NIBP cuffs as related products, alongside the CPR assist. Which types suit your situation, we discuss with you beforehand.
