Laerdal paediatric AED Trainer electrodes are training electrodes with a paediatric key, designed for courses on using the Laerdal AED Trainer defibrillator on children. They allow you to simulate the defibrillation process in paediatric conditions and do not conduct real current, so they are suitable for practising with Participants.
This is a product for instructors who run AED courses and want Trainees to practise a scenario with a child as the casualty. The Participant learns the sequence of actions at the device, and the exercise does not involve a real shock.
The electrodes have the code FL103, and the manufacturer's (Laerdal) catalogue number is 198-80650. Laerdal paediatric AED Trainer electrodes allow the instructor to show Participants what using a defibrillator on a child looks like.
Why are Laerdal paediatric AED Trainer electrodes needed on a course?
Laerdal paediatric AED Trainer electrodes make it possible to recreate in class a situation in which the casualty is a child. Electrodes with a paediatric key are intended precisely for this kind of course, so the instructor runs this scenario on equipment designed for it.
Because the electrodes do not conduct real current, Participants practise in conditions that are entirely safe in an educational context and can concentrate on the procedure itself. You will find other accessories in the category AED defibrillator electrodes.
What AED rules of use are practised with these electrodes?
Practice with paediatric electrodes is best based on the sequence of a real incident: first assess the safety of the scene, then call for help on 999 or 112, start chest compressions and switch on the AED. Once the device is on, the Participant follows its instructions.
A casualty's survival may depend on a bystander taking action, so it is worth making sure everyone practises using an AED. You can read more about the device in the article Chapter VIII – Automated external defibrillator (AED).
