Abstract
Voluntary reports of the use of attenuated pediatric defibrillation pads indicate the devices performed appropriately. All eight VF patients had termination of VF and five survived to hospital discharge. These data support the rapid deployment of AEDs for young children as well as adolescents and adults. Since the pediatric pads are available and deliver an appropriate dose for children, their use should be strongly encouraged.
