Exposing the chest gives you several advantages:

  • It can reveal hidden injuries that you otherwise would have missed
  • It facilitates attachment of the AED pads
  • Exposing the chest makes it easier to find your hand position for compressions
  • It makes it easier to monitor equal rise and fall of the chest during rescue breaths.
