Child AED pads may not deliver enough energy, so they are not appropriate to use for an adult.
No they are not; they will not deliver enough energy.
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.
No you can not use one adult and one child aed pad.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) should be used when the patient has cardiac arrest. This is when the heart suddenly stops beating; the AED will distribute a shock to the heart to try to get it beating again.
The ones in existence deliver too much energy. At some point in time there will be 1 AED for A/C/I; but the need for infant AED is so few, in my opinion, that the market would not bear the cost of production.
An AED does two things: 1. Analyze the heart rhythm 2. If necessary- prompt the AED to deliver shock to the heart. (Shocks attempt to restart the heart). Source- I am going though CPR training and I recently learned this
