Sakaria
Selects, checks, assembles equipment
Monitor/defibrillator with defibrillation pads
Medication to sedate patient (if necessary)
Performs synchronized cardioversion
Takes or verbalizes appropriate PPE precautions
Assures adequate oxygenation and patent IV established
Correctly identifies arrhythmia and condition that requires synchronized cardioversion
Assesses patient condition to include pulse and BP
Asks patient or determines known allergies
Considers appropriate medication to sedate patient
Attaches defibrillation pads
Assures safe environment (evaluates the risk of sparks, combustibles, oxygen-enriched atmosphere)
Sets cardioverter to appropriate energy setting
Activates synchronizer mode
Notes marker on ECG screen and adjusts amplitude until machine appropriately reads QRS complexes
Verbalizes “All clear” and visually ensures that all individuals are clear of the patient
Delivers shock
Reassesses rhythm
Reassesses patient condition to include pulse and BP
Verbalizes need to observe patient for desired effect and adverse side effects
Affective
Accepts evaluation and criticism professionally
Shows willingness to learn
Interacts with simulated patient and other personnel in professional manner
Critical Criteria
Failure to take or verbalize appropriate PPE precautions

Failure to ensure a safe environment before delivering a shock (sparks, combustibles, oxygen-enriched atmosphere)
Inability to deliver a synchronized shock (does not use machine properly)
Failure to set the appropriate energy level before engaging the synchronized mode of operation
Failure to demonstrate acceptable shock sequence
Failure to observe the patient for desired effect and adverse side effects after delivering a shock
