Can aed pads in adult be used in infant?
Yes, use AED pads on adults with no breathing and no pulse. The pads will need to be matched to the AED as most pads have different attachments to the AED.
How many AED pads are there?
An AED will have 2 pads
When CPR is in progress and the AED pads have been attached to the victim the rescuers should?
Some AEDs after the pads are attached you plug in the pads before the AED will analyze; some the pads are attached to the AED and you need to push the analyze button. At this point, do not touch the patient. So, the best answer to me is "the rescuers should make sure the AED is analyzing and do not touch the patient".
