Defibrillator Pads: Essential Components for Life-Saving Care
Defibrillator pads, also known as electrode pads, are a critical component of modern defibrillators used in emergency cardiac care. They are designed to deliver controlled electric shocks to the heart during cardiac arrest situations, helping restore normal heart rhythm. Proper placement and quality of these pads can make the difference between life and death in critical situations.
Types of Defibrillator Pads
Adult Pads: Standard pads designed for patients above 8 years of age or weighing over 55 pounds. They deliver the recommended adult shock dose.
Pediatric Pads: Smaller pads designed to deliver a lower, child-appropriate energy level to protect young hearts.
