-To first start grabbing an AED, you just pull open the door.
Oftentimes, there will be a loud alarm associated with it.
[alarm blares]
Turn the device on.
It's gonna talk to you in a loud voice,
and it's gonna tell you what to do.
-Unit okay.
Adult pads.
Remove pad package.
-And it will tell you where to place the pads.
Take the pads out of the packaging.
You'll see displayed where to place each pad.
Undo the back of the pad.
-Attach pads to patient's bare chest.
-I'm placing this pad
in the right upper-hand side of the chest
with the centerpiece over the breastbone.
Then, with that in place, I take the other pad,
take the sticky off,
and again, following the diagram,
this is then going to fold over onto the lower left-hand side
of the chest.
If the device tells you that a shock needs to occur,
have everyone stay clear of the patient,
don't touch the patient,
and press the shock button on the device.
When you press that button, it will deliver a shock.
When it is analyzing the rhythm,
you would hear something like this.
-Stay clear of patient.
Analyzing.
Shock advised.
Stay clear of patient.
[beep] Deliver shock now.
-So in this case, then you would press the button
to deliver the shock,
making sure that no one is touching the patient,
and then that way you stay clear of getting shocked yourself.
-Shock delivered. -You press the device.
-Begin CPR.
-It delivers the shock, and then again afterwards,
if you know CPR, you can go back to doing CPR.
This device provides the area where you should be doing CPR,
this little circle with the diagram...
-Start CPR.
-...is where you can do CPR.
So on this patient...
[rhythmic tapping]
-Push harder.
Push harder.
Good compressions.
-This AED gives you feedback on your compressions
to make sure you're doing it at a correct rate
and the correct depth, which can be very helpful.
And for this one, you would essentially follow
the same steps as you would for the adult.
You can use adult pads in a pinch if you need to
by placing one side on the front of the chest
and then the second pad on the rear of the chest.
So that lights up if you have a pediatric pad.
If you have access to pediatric pads
and it's a pediatric patient, try to use those pads, though,
because when you plug those pads into the device,
it tells the device that this is a child,
and so it will change the amount of electrical shock
that's delivered.
Just use the adult if that's all you have access to.
The device will determine an initial rhythm,
and if it believes that a shock is needed,
then it will tell you to give a shock.
If the initial underlying rhythm does not need a shock,
then the device will tell you to start CPR.
There are a couple different ways to perform CPR on a child.
We're gonna be doing a two-finger push
into the chest, like this.
Another method is to grab the child around
and use your thumbs.
If you know how to perform pediatric CPR,
then go ahead and do that.
You'll do it for two minutes.
The AED will tell you when to stop doing CPR
and get your hands off the chest
so that it can analyze the underlying rhythm.
If a shock is advised, the AED will tell you to do it,
and you'll deliver the shock
by pressing the button, as we went over.
And then, just like with the adults,
after you deliver the shock and you know how to do CPR,
then go ahead and continue to do CPR for the next two minutes.
