When placing AED pads on a patient with a chemo port, position one pad on the upper right chest, just below the collarbone, and the other pad on the lower left side of the chest, a few inches above the diaphragm. Avoid placing pads directly over the port to prevent interference with the device and to ensure effective defibrillation. It’s important to ensure that the pads have good skin contact for optimal conduction. Always follow the specific AED instructions and protocols for placement.

A furniture or wholesale store would be the best place.
Remember the saying "white upper right, red to the ribs". This refers to pads as placed on the patient. If the colors are the same on the pads and leads, then follow the icons on the pads themselves for placement upper right and on the ribs.
