  • True Water is a good conductor of electricity. If the chest is covered with some water, quickly wipe the chest before attaching the AED pads.
  • False If a rescuer places an AED pad directly over an implanted medical device, the implanted device may block delivery of the shock to the heart. If possible, the rescuer should avoid placing the AED pad directly over the implanted device.
  • The AED operator clears the victim before rhythm analysis and then clears the victim before delivering a shock.
  • After the AED gives the shock, rescuers should resume CPR immediately, beginning with chest compressions.
After the AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next?
  • Breaths should each be delivered over 1 second, with just enough force to produce visible chest rise. Rescuers should avoid excessive ventilation. Pause about 1 second between each breath. Actually seeing the chest rise with each breath is the best way to ensure that breaths are effective.

  • Remember, high-quality CPR for adults includes these critical characteristics:Push hard, push fast: Compress at a rate of 100 to 120/min, with a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm).Allow complete chest recoil, and do not lean on the chest after compressions.Minimize interruptions in compressions to less than 10 seconds.Give effective breaths that make the chest rise and avoid excessive ventilation.

  • True Do not place the AED pads directly on top of a medication patch, because it may block the transfer of energy from the AED pad to the heart and also cause small burns to the skin. If you notice that the victim has a medication patch on the AED placement area, quickly remove the patch and wipe the area clean before attaching the AED pad. Examples of medication patches are nitroglycerin, nicotine, pain medication, and hormone replacement therapy patches.
