You are providing high-quality CPR on a 6-year-old patient who weighs 44 pounds. The AED arrives. It does not have a pediatric setting and includes only adult AED pads. What should you do

Respuesta :

You are providing high-quality CPR on a 6-year-old patient who weighs 44 pounds. The adult AED cannot be used.

Can you use adult AEDs on children?

The AED Defibrillator works through self-adhesive electrodes that are attached to the patient's chest and these electrodes are available in adult and child models. The children's models can be used in children from 4 to 25 kg, that is, from babies of approximately 2 months to children of 8 years old.

With this information, we can conclude that you are providing high-quality CPR on a 6-year-old patient who weighs 44 pounds. The adult AED can be used because the child's AED is for children under 4 years old.
