Does it make a difference that the left sided pad wasn't applied correctly according to the picture drawn on the pad? It should technically be horizontal on the left side.

Does it matter if the person has chest hair? The last training I went to, the trainer mentioned the possibility of having to shave the spots where you’d have to apply the pads.

Hmmm. Where's the part (which should be at the beginning) where you talk about the decision to USE an AED? In what circumstances.

You know, you end up here for two reasons: 1) you have an emergency (in that case, i dont know why you are reading this, go help the guy!) 2) you walked pass an AED in the airport or mall and became curious "what to do and how you can me prepared in case, when you need to use".
