HOW TO PREPARE THE PEDIATRIC PATIENT
Open the package by tearing along the dotted line near the end of the pack. Remove the pads
from the package and follow the directions and the schema for the correct placement of
defibrillation electrodes placed on the packaging of the defibrillation electrodes and on the
electrodes. Remove the protective coating from each electrode before placing them. Remove
the coating only when the electrode is ready to be applied. Put the electrodes with the
adhesive side of the patient's skin. Place the electrodes as shown in the diagram. The
placement of pediatric electrodes in children under the age of 8 years is different from that of
adults or children older than 8 years.
The device must be used with the attenuated defibrillation electrodes for children, if the patient
is an infant or a child under the age of 8 years or weight less than 25kg (55 lbs). Do not delay
the procedure to define the exact weight or age.
Follow the instructions in the figure shown here:
Children under 8 years old: Place one pad in the center of the chest and one pad on the
back as shown.
