Strategic AED Placement

Understanding where AEDs should be located is crucial for maximizing their life-saving potential. Key considerations include:

• Locations near elderly populations or high-stress environments
• Areas where cardiac events are more likely to occur
• Placement that allows for rapid retrieval during emergencies

Proper Electrode Pad Placement

Knowing where to place AED electrode pads is essential for effective defibrillation. Proper pad placement ensures optimal energy delivery and increases the chances of successful resuscitation.

Understanding Special Considerations

There are important special considerations when using an AED that every operator should understand, including situations involving water, medication patches, and pacemakers.
