Applying Defibrillation Electrode Pads — Adult CPR stat•padz
WARNING! ZOLL CPR stat•padz are for adult patients only; do not use them on patients under
8 years of age.
To apply CPR stat•padz defibrillation electrodes:
Step Action
1 Tear open the electrode package and expose the
electrodes. Grasp the square electrode at the bottom
(with the attached sensor) and peel from the plastic
liner.
2 Place the CPR sensor on the sternum, lining up the
cross hairs with the patient’s nipple line and center of
the sternum. Place the electrode in the mid clavicular
line below the patient’s right clavicle as shown in the
diagram. Avoid any contact between the nipple and gel
treatment area.
3 Gently roll the electrode onto the chest, pushing any air
out from beneath the electrode.
Note: If the patient has an implanted pacemaker or
defibrillator in his/her upper right chest, angle
the electrode slightly to avoid placing it over
the device. Ensure that the CPR sensor
remains over the lower half of the breastbone.
4 Grasp the round electrode at the bottom and peel it
from the plastic liner. Apply the electrode so it lines up
with the bottom of the pectoral muscle on a male
patient, as shown in the diagram. For female patients,
place the electrode under the breast.
Note: A more lateral placement increases the
likelihood that more of the heart musculature
will be within the current.
