Important:

Move the person away from water and dry the chest.
Remove medication patches.
Place pads away from visible pacemakers.
Ensure pads stick to dry skin.
If the person is wearing a bra, you may adjust or move it enough to place the AED pads on the bare chest instead of fully removing it.
For children under 8 years old or under 55 pounds, use pediatric pads if available.
If pads may touch, place one pad on the chest and one on the back.
AEDs may be used on infants if no manual defibrillator is available.

If no AED is available, continue CPR.
