Which placement technique is advised for AED pads in case of a hairy chest?

In the case of a hairy chest, the recommended technique is to use two sets of pads to remove the hair before applying one set of pads for defibrillation. This method is effective because the adhesive surfaces of the pads need to make direct contact with the skin for the electricity to be transmitted effectively. Hair can interfere with this contact, potentially resulting in a failed shock or inadequate defibrillation. By using the first set of pads to remove the hair, you ensure a clearer surface for the second set of pads, maximizing the efficacy of the defibrillation process. This technique allows for proper pad placement and enhances the chances of successful cardiac rhythm restoration in an emergency situation.
