NEVER remove the AED pads when performing CPR on a patient. Once the AED pads are applied, only EMS should remove them. It's not that there is anything special about removing the pads, the reason is that the AED needs to periodically analyze the patient for a shockable rhythm. It cannot analyze if there are no pads connected. Taking off and re-applying pads take away valuable time. Also, the pads adhere to the skin by the adhesive backing. Pulling them off causes the pads to lose the adhesive quality. A pad that does not have good adhesion does not work. The pads are meant to stay on during CPR. Even if your patient is resuscitated and is talking to you, you should still leave them on. God may not be finished with him quite yet and the patient can easily lapse back into cardiac arrest. Always leave those pads connected! Another tip to keep in mind is to never have two pads in your hands at once. If the pads touch, the adhesive glue will stick the pads together. Once stuck together, they are NOT coming apart and cannot be applied to the patient. Think of it as letting the two sticky ends of a band-aid touch. It's almost impossible to get them apart and still have a usable band-aid. 12 years of teaching CPR/AED
Yes you should leave the pads on the person. In fact good luck taking them off.
No; because in 2 minutes it will reanalyze.
No; leave the pads on as the AED will re-analyze in 2 minutes.
No; do not remove the pads. The AED will analyze again.
There is no shockable rhythm the AED can shock for.
If no shock is indicated by the AED, check for signs of life. Continue CPR if no signs of life are present.
If no shock indicated, check for signs of life; and if none continue CPR until the AED analysis's again.
Remove 3 bolts, remove shock, insert shock, compress shock, replace bolts
Continue CPR
UNDERNEATH THE UPPER CONTROL ARM ON YOUR BIRD YOU WILL FIND THREE NUTS. REMOVE THESE AND THE SHOCK WILL BE ABLE TO BE REMOVED THROUGH THE TOP OF THE SHOCK TOWER. ONCE THE SHOCK IS OUT, YOU CAN REMOVE THE LOWER SHOCK BOLT FROM THE BRACKET.
Compress the shock spring using a spring compressor. Remove the bolt on top of the shock plate. Remove the bolt on the bottom of the shock. Reverse the process to install the new front shock.
You do not need to remove it.
Yes you do.
1) Jack the car and secure with jack stands. 2) Remove the tire. 3) Remove the two nuts that are on the top of the shock. This secures a plate that holds the top of the shock. 4) Remove the bolt on the bottom of the shock. Note: one side of the bolt is welded to the shock and does not have to be held. Removing this bolt is challenging. 5) Compress the the shock to remove. 6) Transfer plate and rubber sleeve to new shock. When removing the top nut on shock, secure the very top of the shock with vise grips. 7) Make sure to remove device that keeps the shock compressed. 8) Compress shock to reinstall. Install top plate to align with bolts. As the shock is decompressing, use screw driver to hold in position to insert bolt on the bottom of shock. 9) Install nuts on top of the shock and tighten. 10) Install bolt on the bottom of shock and tighten.
