Anecdotally, I think this is a relatively common issue in cardiac arrest care.
Take time to perfect the essentials when managing an arrest. Don’t accept anything less. If you’re a team leader, or team member, take time to notice these little things that make the big difference
Defib pad placement is important. Positioning them correctly can double someone’s chance of survival.
Side A is correct. The key difference is that the pad on the left hand side of the chest has been placed on the side of the rib cage, closer to the armpit.
ALT The image shows a side-by-side comparison of two defibrillator pad placements on a CPR training mannequin, labeled "A" and "B." The background is dark blue, and the text reads: "Spot the difference. Do you know the best defib pad placement?" In image A, one pad is placed on the mannequin's upper right chest, while the other is positioned on left hand side of the rib cage, close to the armpit. In image B, one pad is also placed on the upper right chest, but the other one is placed on the left hand side, further away from the armpit and almost on top of the ribcage.

With the #GeneralElection announced for July, we're asking political parties to make one simple commitment: create more CPR-trained lifesavers in the next parliament than any previous.
Read the simple steps to achieve this on our website: resus.org.uk/manifesto-commi…

Public access defibrillators are safe for anyone to use!
With 61% of people saying they aren’t confident enough to use one, we created our Defib Dani animation to give everyone that confidence to try and help save a life.

Before beginning CPR, first check for signs of life: are they unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally?
Noisy, infrequent or gasping breaths are not normal breathing.
