Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) differ for children and adults primarily in their energy delivery settings and pad sizes. Pediatric AEDs typically use lower energy levels tailored for smaller hearts and often come with child-specific pads that are designed to fit a child's body. Some AEDs have a pediatric mode that can be activated for use on children. It's important to use the appropriate AED for the age and size of the individual to ensure effective defibrillation.
