7.3 Preparing the patient
In order to be able to place the defibrillation pads on the chest, you must
perform the preliminary operations below:
• Remove clothing from the patient’s chest
• If the patient’s chest is very hairy, you must
shave the places where the Pads will be placed.
7.4 Place the pads
A Take the defibrillation pads out of their original packaging.
B Remove the individual pad’s protective film and place it on the patient’s chest
The correct placement of the pads is essential for an effective analysis of the patient’s heartbeat and for the consequent
delivery of the shock, if needed.
If the patient is a child (age from 1 to 8 or weight <25 kg), before placing the defibrillation pads on the patient’s chest,
select the paediatric mode with the dedicated selector on the AED’s keyboard (please see paragraph 5.2.4 for more
information).
Note: Please always refer to the instructions on the packaging and to the specific user manual of the pads.
