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.

Do people in the mll wear shoulder pads?

A lacrosse goalie wears a chest protector not normal shoulder pads however, a chest protector typically has pads for your shoulders. Some people choose to get a chest protector with removable shoulder pads so you could take them off but I wouldn't take them off. Trust me on the not taking it off part it's coming from a goalie, it kills getting hit in the shoulder.
