AED pads are made using a combination of conductive materials and a gel that enhances the electrical conductivity. The pads typically consist of a non-woven fabric or plastic backing, coated with a conductive gel to ensure effective transmission of the electrical shock to the patient's chest. The manufacturing process involves precision cutting, layering the gel, and sealing the pads to maintain sterility. Quality control is critical to ensure that the pads function correctly during an emergency.
An AED will have 2 pads
No it can't; you must use adult AED pads for an adult & child AED pads for a child.
Yes, use AED pads on adults with no breathing and no pulse. The pads will need to be matched to the AED as most pads have different attachments to the AED.
only adult pads and system
You chose the size of the AED pads by the size of the adult.
No, AED pads can not be cut.
The pads are used in a cardiac emergency with the AED to supply the shock, if required.
Child AED pads may not deliver enough energy, so they are not appropriate to use for an adult.
Use only adult AED pads and system on an adult.
No; do not remove the pads. The AED will analyze again.
No; you can't use adult AED pads on a child under 8 years old or 55 pounds. You must use pediatric AED pads because adult pads will supply too much energy when shocking.
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.
