When using a defibrillator, place the pads on the patient's bare chest: one pad should be positioned on the upper right side of the chest, just below the collarbone, and the other pad should be placed on the lower left side of the chest, a few inches below the armpit. Ensure there is no clothing or moisture that could interfere with the pads' adhesion. For children, use pediatric pads if available, and follow specific placement guidelines for their age and size. Always follow the device's visual or auditory prompts for proper use.
