Short answer, yes!

Defibrillators can be used on infants, but it’s essential to use paediatric-specific pads or a paediatric dose attenuator (if available) to deliver an appropriate energy level for their size.

Additionally, the AHA recommends using manual defibrillation if paediatric pads or dose attenuators are not available.

It is crucial to follow the specific guidelines provided by the defibrillator manufacturer and receive appropriate training in paediatric defibrillation to ensure proper usage.
