AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) have the capability of bringing back to life either a child victim or an adult victim but only when equipped with the right accessories. AED One-Stop Shop consults with our customers and when we learn that AEDs are to be placed in somewhat public places like schools, churches, recreation centers, child care facilities, arenas, convention centers and alike we typically recommend pediatric capability for the AEDs. The American Heart Association recommends pediatric pads for children aged 8 or less or weighing less than 55 pounds. Pediatric electrodes or a pediatric key for some devices enables the public defibrillator’s pediatric treatment mode which many times adjusts the energy used for the shock. Sensibly, child pads are often smaller sized for a smaller sized chest too.
We encourage our school district, charter school, private school customers and those listed above to make the small extra investment in pediatric AED pads.
