For AED pad placement, remember the saying "White upper right, red to the ribs". These are the locations on the patient; one pad goes on the upper right of the chest; the other pad goes on the lower left side of the abdomen, on the ribs. It used to be the pad leads were white and red which denotes the location based on the color of the leads. Now, all the pads have icons on them which show the pad location upper right and lower left. For a child, it may require the pads located on the front of the chest, and on the back due to the size of the chest vs. the size of the pads. See the related link for examples.
