In this lesson, you'll learn how to use an AED on an infant who's gone into cardiac arrest. The methods of defibrillating an infant differ a little from adults and children, so be sure and make note of those differences. As you know, AED pads come in two sizes – adult and pediatric. Pediatric pads are for patients less than 55 pounds or roughly 25 kilograms, while adult pads are for anyone weighing more than 55 pounds. Remember, if you do not have pediatric pads and the patient is less than 55 pounds, use the adult pads. It's far better to use the wrong size pads than it is to forego using an AED.
