Yes, using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is generally safe for individuals wearing a Duragesic patch, which is a fentanyl transdermal patch. The AED's electrical shock does not interfere with the patch or its medication delivery. However, it's essential to ensure proper pad placement, avoiding direct contact with the patch, to ensure effective defibrillation. Always follow the AED's instructions and protocols in an emergency.
