Deadmau5 music playing in the background! Nice touch.

Great, to the point with visibility!

One question. It Is necessary attach ekg Electrodes to the def or i can attach only pads and monitoring with external monitor?

[@Touzeau123]

Great question and thanks for watching. Attaching the EKG electrodes enables the demand pacing feature of the device. In demand mode, the LIFEPAK 15 pacemaker inhibits external pacing output when it “senses” the patient's own beats. In other words, if the EKG electrodes are not placed, the device operates in non-demand mode, and will deliver the pacing pulse at the cadence set by the operator, regardless of the patient's underlying rhythm.

@@Touzeau123 Great answer. Very clever device. In non demand mode, in V00, there is the risk of R over T. Thank u.

pads are placed exactly opposite as indicated in figure

[@Touzeau123]

Good eye and you're absolutely correct. We inadvertently reversed the training pads. Thanks for letting us know.

The defibrillator pads will still work. The picture diagram is just to help with the process of placing them. Other than that the pads are the same. Opposite diagram, but still in the correct place, electricity will still pass through the heart.

@@anas2321 it's technically called a 3-lead ECG. One of the leads are just a ground for the electrical activity.
