When do you take the AED pads off the victim?
No; you must stop CPR to dry the chest and put on the pads. Once the pads are on the patient, the AED should analyze.
When CPR is in progress and the AED pads have been attached to the victim the rescuers should?
Some AEDs after the pads are attached you plug in the pads before the AED will analyze; some the pads are attached to the AED and you need to push the analyze button. At this point, do not touch the patient. So, the best answer to me is "the rescuers should make sure the AED is analyzing and do not touch the patient".
When do you take medication pads off a victim's chest when using an AED?
You should leave the AED pads on the victim's chest while the device analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if indicated. Do not remove the pads until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive and take over or if the pads need to be repositioned for proper contact. If the victim begins to show signs of life, such as breathing or movement, you should also check for responsiveness and continue monitoring until help arrives. Always follow the AED's prompts for the best guidance.

Electrical burns should be loosely covered with sterile gauze pads and the person taken to the hospital for further treatment.
What do you do before the AED analyzes the rhythm?
You should perform CPR while waiting for the AED to become available to you. Once you have the AED at the scene, turn it on, apply the pads, then wait while it analyzes. While it is completing analysis you (and everyone else) should not touch the victim until the analysis is complete.
What do you do if AED pads touch?
There must be a gap between the pads; one will have to be moved. If proper contact can't be made after the move, both pads will need to be replaced on the victim.
