Where can flight attendants look to determine the placement of AED pads?

The placement of AED pads is directly indicated on the pads themselves, which are designed with clear pictorial instructions to guide users on where to attach each pad on the patient's body during an emergency. This feature is crucial, as it allows flight attendants to quickly and effectively deploy the AED without needing to reference additional materials in high-stress situations.

While other resources, such as the emergency response manual, training posters, or instructions from the aircraft manufacturer, can provide helpful context about the use of the AED and its overall function, the immediate, visual guidance provided on the pads is specifically tailored for fast and accurate placement during an emergency. This design ensures that even those who may not have extensive training can operate the AED effectively when needed.
