Intellisense paediatric defibrillation pads are recommended for patients 8 years of age or younger, or weighing less than 25kg. They are non-polarised, meaning they can be placed in either position on the chest, reducing confusion and saving time during a rescue. Paediatric pads may also be placed on the chest and back. Using the pad connector embedded circuitry, the St John G5 defibrillator quickly and automatically detects the paediatric pad, and automatically adjusts to paediatric energy protocols and CPR requirements.
