AED: Wet Skin
WATER ON THE VICTIM’S CHEST COULD ALLOW THE SHOCK TO TRAVEL
THROUGH THE WATER BETWEEN THE PADS AND PREVENT DELIVERY
OF AN EFFECTIVE SHOCK DOSE TO THE VICTIM’S HEART.
IF THE CHEST IS COVERED WITH WATER OR SWEAT, WIPE THE CHEST
BEFORE ATTACHING THE AED PADS, BUT WIPE THE CHEST QUICKLY AS IT
DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY DRY.
