Answer 1

A special circumstance that a rescuer must consider when using an AED is that the pads may not stick on a hairy chest. That means the AED may fail to deliver a shock to the patient.

AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable device used to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock until the heart rhythm changes back to normal. There are some special AED circumstances that must be given attention to, such as:

• If the victim has a hairy chest, if possible, shave the areas of the chest so the AED pads can stick.
• If the victim is in water, remove them from the water and quickly dry them first before using AED.
• If the victim has implanted device in them (such as a pacemaker), avoid placing the pads over the implanted device.
• If the victim has a transdermal medication patch, remove the patch and wipe it clean first before using the AED.
