ANTERIOR-LATERAL PLACEMENT OF PADS FOR DEFIBRILLATION/SYNC SHOCK (MOST COMMONLY USED)
1. Turn off the Responder 2000. Connect the pads connector to the Responder 2000.
2. Shave the application points; this improves conductivity and makes the removal of pads easier.
3. Remove the protective liner by starting with the pad cable connection end. Slowly peel back the protective liner from
the pads.
4. Place the anterior (Sternum) pad on the patient’s right upper torso, lateral to the sternum and below the clavicle.
5. Place the (Apex) Therapy pad lateral to the patient’s left nipple, with the center of the pad in the midaxillary line, if
possible. For female patients, position the pad under the breast.
6. Starting from one edge, firmly press the pad onto the patient’s chest to eliminate air pockets between the gel surface
and the skin.
7. Connect pads cable to the pads.
