What is the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pad Package?
The Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pad Package is a pair of smaller electrode pads, designed specifically for children under the age of 8 or who weigh less than 25 kg. These pads have a shelf life of up to 2 years and should be replaced before their expiration date or after use. The pads are used to deliver a shock to a child in Sudden Cardiac Arrest in an attempt to stabilise the heart rhythm.
Can the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pads be used on children of all ages?
No, the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pads are only suitable for children aged between 1 and 8, weighing less than 25 kg. If the child in Sudden Cardiac Arrest is aged 9 or over and weighs more than 25 kg, you should respond using Defibtech Lifeline AED Adult Defibrillation Pads which can also be purchased at defibshop. It is important to use the correct equipment when responding to a life-threatening emergency to increase effectiveness. By using the correct accessories and defibrillator, you could potentially save a life.
How are the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pads different to Adult Defibrillation Pads?
Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pads are smaller in size, specifically designed for the smaller chest of a child aged 8 and under. They also deliver a lower energy level shock than adult electrode pads, ensuring that the shock delivered to the casualty is appropriate for their smaller frame.
Can the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pad Package be used with any AED?
No, the Defibtech Lifeline AED Paediatric Defibrillation Pad package is only compatible with the Defibtech Lifeline AED range. Using these pads with alternative AED models may compromise the safety of a casualty in Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
