AED Pad Placement for Children: Avoiding Contact & Ensuring Safety

If the AED pads risk touching each other, such as with a small child or an infant, you should place one pad on the front of the child's chest and the other pad on the child's back, avoiding the spine. Ensure the pads are clear of the metal on or below the chest.

It's crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by the AED in such situations to ensure the child's safety during the defibrillation.
