check pulse no pulse start cpr
If you are not clear, the AED could shock you as well.
After the shock, the AED will either say that another shock is advised or to continue CPR.
Provide 2 breaths
Because you too, will get shocked and it'll take away from the amount of shock the patient might need.
Immediately after a shock, you will wait to follow the next instruction from the AED. After a shock, it will either immediately analyze again and possibly shock again, or direct you to check the patient for a pulse, and if none resume CPR.
There is no shockable rhythm the AED can shock for.
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.
The AED may shock once, twice, or three times.

If you touch the victim while an AED is delivering a shock, you too will receive a shock.
