Pediatric pads are reduced-energy defibrillation pads recommended for use on children who are less than 8 years of age or who weigh less than 55 pounds. G3 pediatric pads are small in size and use a special attenuator to reduce energy to the child. Pediatric defibrillation pads may be placed in either position on the chest (upper-right or lower-left) to minimize confusion and help save time during an emergency. They may also be placed on the chest and back.
