Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Guidelines
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is used to treat an individual who experiences
symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest, has no pulse, is unresponsive and not breathing or not
breathing normally. The Zoll AED® Plus is self-testing, battery-operated, and rescue-ready in a
cardiac emergency. The Zoll AED® Plus automatically analyzes the electrocardiogram, after the
electrodes (pads) are applied to the victim's chest and delivers a shock if needed. The Rescue
Coach feature provides audible prompts and instructions to assist the rescuer with
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and operation of the AED.

Electrodes (Pads)

It is recommended to keep two (2) sets of electrodes (pads) with the AED – adult and pediatric.
The pediatric pads should be used when the victim is an infant or child up to 8 years of age or
up to 55 lbs. The rescue should not be delayed to determine the victim's exact age or weight.

Resuscitation Kit with the AED

The resuscitation kit contains latex-free gloves; razor, scissors, towel, 4" gauze, antiseptic
wipes, one-way filter facemask barrier device, and carabiner attachment.
