Applying Defibrillation Electrode Pads — Adult CPR-D•padz
WARNING!
ZOLL CPR-D•padz are for adult patients only; do not use them on patients under
8 years of age.
To apply
CPR-D•padz
defibrillation electrodes:
Step
Action
1
Tear open the electrode package and unfold the
electrodes.
2
Using the cross hairs on the CPR sensor to guide you,
place the sensor on the middle of the patient’s
breastbone, between the nipples.
3
Hold the CPR sensor in place with your right hand, and
use your left hand to pull the number 2 tab and peel the
protective backing from the electrode.
Note:
If the patient has an implanted pacemaker or
defibrillator in his/her upper right chest, angle
the electrode slightly to avoid placing it over the
device. Ensure that the CPR sensor remains
over the lower half of the breastbone.
Press the electrode from the center of the chest
outward to push out air from beneath the pad, and to
make sure the pad adheres properly to the patient’s
skin.
