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.
What should you do before applying the aed padS to the victim if they are wet?
Wipe them off with a dry towel or rag.
Will an AED power off if you touch the victim?
No
How do you know if the AED pads are put on correctly?
As far as pad placement, the icons on the pads will show where they go on the victim; upper right on chest and lower left on the ribs. The AED will recognise if the contact between the pad and skin is correct; if not, the chest was not wiped off to remove the fluids or there is too much hair where the pad was placed.
Can you use an AED on a wet surface?
No, you need to dry the surface (chest) before applying the AED pads, as they can slip off or become ineffective.
A child has no signs of life what should you do first to prepare the AED for use?
First step is to open the AED. If it does not turn on when you open it (some do), turn on the AED. Follow instructions of AED. Be sure to wipe off the chest and rib area before applying the pads.
When the aed says no shock indicated do you remove the pad before continuing to do CPR?
NEVER remove the AED pads when performing CPR on a patient. Once the AED pads are applied, only EMS should remove them. It's not that there is anything special about removing the pads, the reason is that the AED needs to periodically analyze the patient for a shockable rhythm. It cannot analyze if there are no pads connected. Taking off and re-applying pads take away valuable time. Also, the pads adhere to the skin by the adhesive backing. Pulling them off causes the pads to lose the adhesive quality. A pad that does not have good adhesion does not work. The pads are meant to stay on during CPR. Even if your patient is resuscitated and is talking to you, you should still leave them on. God may not be finished with him quite yet and the patient can easily lapse back into cardiac arrest. Always leave those pads connected! Another tip to keep in mind is to never have two pads in your hands at once. If the pads touch, the adhesive glue will stick the pads together. Once stuck together, they are NOT coming apart and cannot be applied to the patient. Think of it as letting the two sticky ends of a band-aid touch. It's almost impossible to get them apart and still have a usable band-aid. 12 years of teaching CPR/AED
When do you take you hands off the chest when you are using an AED?
Before the AED starts analyzing the victims heart for electrical activity. This is important because, once the AED starts analyzing it could possibly mistake your heart beat/pulse rather than the victims. In this case the AED may not administer the shock that could save the victims life. Also for obvious reason, you definitely would not want to be touching the person while the AED was delivering a shock because there might be a chance for a portion of the energy to be transferred into you, which would affect the amount of shock the victim needs to reset their heart
