Using an AED


Step 1. Switch on the AED and follow the voice and visual prompts (If more than one rescuer is present, continue CPR while the AED is switched on. If you are alone, stop CPR and switch on the AED).


Step 2. Remove the child’s clothing from the upper chest.


Step 3. Take out the electrode pads from the packaging. Look at the pictures on the electrode pads to ensure you place them correctly on the child’s body.


Step 4. Place the first pad in the centre of the child’s chest (Anterior) and the second pad in the centre of the child’s back (Posterior).


Step 5. Once both electrode pads are in place the AED will begin to analyse the child’s heart rhythm.
