The ambulance company i work for dont have pedi pads for the AEDs in the trucks. They have a set of adult pads and then a spare set in the AED bag but still adult sized pads. I know the medic gears have both, adult and pedi. But the BLS trucks dont get any pedi pads. When asked about this, upper management said that medics have it for their monitors and that bls just dont. They said that if emts were to have a call dealing with a pediatric patient needing resucitating measures that of course we will perform cpr and call for ALS backup. I get that. And I get that we can use the adult sized pads just place them in the appropriate place on a pedi. But still, i was wondering if other ambulance companies out there supply their BLS trucks with both adult and pedi AED pads.
