If the AED pads risk touching each other on the chest of a small child, you can use front/back placement. True or false?
Correct Answer:
True
Explanation:
Front/back placement is an accepted approach when pads placed on the chest would otherwise touch on a small child. By putting one pad on the chest (anterior) and the other on the back (posterior), you prevent pad-to-pad contact and still allow the electrical current to pass through the heart effectively. This is done especially when pediatric pads are not available and the child is small enough that chest pads might overlap. Ensure the skin is dry and clean, and use pediatric pads if possible; otherwise, use the same anterior-posterior concept with the pads you have.
