What should an AED kit contain?

A well-equipped AED defibrillator should include, in addition to the mandatory electrodes, a resuscitation kit.

The AED resuscitation kit includes:

  • disposable gloves,
  • paper towel to dry your chest,
  • a disposable razor to shave off excess hair where the electrodes are attached
  • a mask for artificial respiration (a regular mouthpiece mask will suffice)
  • scissors
