If the AED pads risk touching each other such as with a small child or infant you should?

If the AED pads risk touching each other on a small child or infant, you should place one pad on the child's chest and the other pad on their back to ensure proper placement and effective delivery of the shock. This positioning avoids pad overlap and maintains the electrical circuit needed for defibrillation. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the AED manufacturer for pediatric use.
