⚡️ AN AED CANNOT HURT SOMEONE—BUT HESITATION CAN. ⚡️
AEDs look intimidating, but they are designed for anyone to use. If someone collapses, call 911, start CPR, and open the AED. The machine will talk you through every step!
🩹 The "Top Right, Bottom Left" Placement:
The pads have clear diagrams printed right on them. Peel and stick them firmly onto a bare, dry chest:
* Pad 1: Upper right side of the chest (just below the collarbone).
* Pad 2: Lower left side of the chest (just below the armpit).
🔊 Next Steps:
1. Plug in the cable (if not already attached).
2. Stand clear while the AED analyzes the heart rhythm. Do not touch the person!
3. Press the shock button ONLY if the machine explicitly tells you to.
4. Resume CPR immediately after.
