I check for scene and safety both for the rescuer and for the use of an AED, and the
scene is safe. I call out to the patient, are you okay? no response. Sir, can you hear
me? no response. You in the plaid shirt, go call 911 and come back, and if you can find
an AED bring it with you. For this scenario, I already have an AED, so I'll go ahead and
turn it on. Clear the chest, dry off the chest. Its an adult patient, so I need an adult pads.
Not touching the patient. Clear, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight,
twenty nine, thirty. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty
one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty.

up off the chest of the mannequin. You know, in my experience, as a street paramedic, I
have seen that happen with real AED's as well. It could be anything from an outdated pad
set, to not enough conduction jelly. It doesn't really matter whether its from that or whether
the patient's chest is wet from sweat, because they're actively having an heart attack or
whatever the case maybe or going to shock. If those pads won't adhere, you need to remove
them and refresh them with a fresh set, after you've re-dried off the chest, shaving any
of the hair that may be that pads are actually floating on top of off, and try to re-adhere
them to the chest, because if they're not making a good connection to the full chest
wall, they run the risk of not being able to analyse correctly, and not being able to
shock correctly. So, this is a vitally important thing to talk about, and it was convenient,
because we had that issue while we practice with the mannequin.
