When assisting in a cardioversion of ventricular tachycardia via biphasic defriillation you can expect the starting energy range to e?
200
What is difference between biphasic and monophasic defibrillators?
biphasic have lower waveform compared to monophasic
What are the ideal AED specifications?
Automated External Defibrillators should be programmed to meet the most current algorithms published by the American Heart Association, and deliver biphasic, transthoracic shocks. They should be small, lightweight, have an extended battery life, and be very simple to use. Most AED's use voice prompts and a series of very simple, large buttons. The best AED's have simulator units that can be used to train personnel in the correct use of the real product.
Are there child and adult pads on an AED?
Child AED pads may not deliver enough energy, so they are not appropriate to use for an adult.
Children AED pads suitable for adults?
No they are not; they will not deliver enough energy.
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.
What is biphasic titration?

Can you use one adult and one child aed pad?
No you can not use one adult and one child aed pad.
Why can't you use an AED on infants?
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.
How many volts does an AED deliver?
The AED delivers a shock energy, with units of joules (see the related link). There is not a direct conversion from joules to volts. I have read that the AED has the capability of about 1000 volts. For a comparison of some AEDs and their energy output, see the other related link. An AED with child pads delivers less energy per shock; as low as 50 joules whereas some for an adult will deliver 360 joules or 400 joules.
Can you use adult AED pads to child at age 2?
No; you can't use adult AED pads on a child under 8 years old or 55 pounds. You must use pediatric AED pads because adult pads will supply too much energy when shocking.
