Abstract: It is commonly known that early defibrillation is crucial for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Higher survival rates and a greater restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have been associated with prompt defibrillation and successful initial shock. Defibrillation pads should be placed in the traditional sternal–apical or anterolateral position during defibrillation, according to the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council guidelines on cardiac arrest management.Other possible acceptable positions include anteroposterior,biaxillary(each side of the chest wall), left precordium–left scapula, and apicalelectrode–right scapula.1,2
