If the AED pads risk touching each other such as with a small child or infant you should?
If the AED pads risk touching each other on a small child or infant, you should place one pad on the child's chest and the other pad on their back to ensure proper placement and effective delivery of the shock. This positioning avoids pad overlap and maintains the electrical circuit needed for defibrillation. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the AED manufacturer for pediatric use.
What is a consideration when you are using an AED?
When using an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), it's crucial to ensure that the environment is safe and that no one is touching the person receiving treatment during the shock delivery. Additionally, you should follow the audio and visual prompts provided by the AED, and ensure the pads are applied correctly to the patient's bare chest. It's also important to assess the patient's condition and call emergency services if they haven't been contacted already.

I'm clear, you're clear, we're all clear." The AED will then proceed in analyzing the heart rhythm.Turn it on and listen
What do you do if AED does not promptly analyze rhythm?
If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) does not promptly analyze the rhythm, continue performing CPR until the AED is ready. Ensure that no one is touching the patient during the analysis phase, as any movement can interfere with the AED's ability to assess the heart's rhythm. If the AED continues to fail to analyze, check for proper electrode pad placement and battery status, and consider using another AED if available. Always follow emergency protocols and call for medical assistance if necessary.
