Only use an AED on an unconscious adult, child (1-8 years old) or infant (less
than 1 year old) who is not breathing and has no pulse present. Use the AED
as soon as it is available.
Choose the correct size AED pads for the adult or child/infant younger than 8
years of age. If available use the smaller size pad for children and infants. If
not available, use the standard adult pads, making sure the pads do not
touch or overlap. You may not use the small pads on an adult. The small pads
will not deliver the correct shock dose for an adult.
Healthcare providers should give CPR until the AED arrives. CPR should
continue until AED pads are placed and the AED is ready to analyze.
If the victim is a child or infant and the rescuer did not witness the arrest, the
rescuer should give 5 cycles of CPR (about 2 minutes) before activating the
emergency response system and getting the AED.
