Aug 16, 2020 · Greeting to all I am a Red Cross Instructor who teaches mostly lay responder First Aid/CPR/AED classes along with some BLS, Wilderness First Aid and others. I'm looking for documentation if possible, or at least a definitive answer to a question that keeps popping up in class. I'm not an EMT...

Sep 9, 2012 · Pad positioning theoretically can make a difference in impedance, which can have a big effect in the energy delivery from the device. Modern biphasic defibrillators will send a test impulse through the pads to determine the impedance between the two pads.

Jan 30, 2015 · There is actually a positive and negative pad. I wouldn't say "it doesn't matter," better to say, "it doesn't matter that much." If you're monitoring a rhythm through the pads, the rhythm will be upside down if the pads are reversed. For an …

Aug 16, 2014 · I was talking with a co-worker today who insisted that it would not be a waste of time to use pediatric AED pads on an adult during CPR if adult pads are...

Jan 30, 2015 · Apperatly I did this? I'm in the basic emt lab class and we were testing out of cardiac arrest with AED. I'm doing cpr on the dummy, get the AED out turn it on, put it on the dummy and continue.. Then the lab aid says "look at your pads." I had them in the correct spots, I didn't know what the...

Dec 19, 2012 · A pediatric pad set also includes a voltage attenuator to lower the AED's output. If a pediatric setup is not available, the AED should still be used. Do not cut the pads, you may render them ineffective. Pad placements for a pediatric patient use both ventral and dorsal sides, so there should be sufficient surface area for pad placement.

Apr 21, 2010 · Working in education department at the moment. We have to give some very clear instructions to our staff on pad placement on kids around the 10kg/1yo but have a very interesting problem with exactly where to put the pads - adult pads that …

Aug 21, 2014 · I use anterior/posterior pad placement, for pacing, cardioverting, and defibrilation. Key about pad placement is to have the heart between the pads, as in a straight line from pad to pad with the heart on the line between the pads. Sounds easy, but many times this is not done properly. Also, the anterior/posterior placements give maximum conduction and shortest …

Oct 28, 2015 · The following assumes your friend is an EMT. There are too many CP etiologies to throw on pads immediately. It's not like you can use an AED for a synchronized cardioversion for VT with a pulse. And, it'd still take time to get the AED to analyze once someone goes pulseless. Your friend should focus on BLS practice and CAB along with AED at that time. And if they …
