Manual Defibrillation
Emergency Defibrillation Procedure with Paddles
Warning! To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not allow electrolyte gel to accumulate on hands or
paddle handles.
When defibrillating with paddles, use your thumbs to operate the SHOCK buttons in
order to avoid inadvertent operator shock. No portion of the hands should be near the
paddle plates.
Be sure to use the proper paddles/electrodes based on the size of the patient (adult -
large, pediatric - small).
Paddles are a defibrillation-protected Type BF patient connection.
ECG leads are a defibrillation-protected Type CF patient connection.
