The How to of Defibrillators

Defibtech defibrillator pads have a picture on their package showing how the pads are to be placed on a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) victim. One is placed next to the right shoulder and the other is placed below the right breast and halfway around the side to the back.
Philips defibrillator pads are also pictured and are placed the same. Children’s pads are placed on the front of the sternum and the other is directly on the middle of the back. Defibtech’s childrens’ pads are also placed that way.
Zoll has a one piece pad which is placed over the sternum and the tail pieces fall in the correct positions. Their pediatric defibrillator pads are 2 piece with pictures for correct positioning. They also are placed one on front and one on back.

The 
Philips FRx defibrillator has this neat little option to turn an adult defibrillator into a pediatric one. This automated external defibrillator just needs an infant/child key placed in the FRx and the power will be reduced for a pediatric victim.
The key can be used over and over again. It is a $98 accessory. Cost effectiveness is seen in the fact that you don’t even have to replace the pads for pediatric ones because the Heart Smart Pads II defibrillation electrode pads are used for all emergencies. Other defibrillators need to have the adult pads replaced with pediatric ones before use on a child.
The Philips AED pads offer a unique characteristic with money saving quality.
