Video transcript:
When the second rescuer arrives on the scene with the AED, turn on the AED and follow the prompts.

"Apply pads to patient's bare chest."

"Plug in pads' connector next to flashing light."

"Apply pads. Plug in Connector."

"Analyzing heart rhythm. Do not touch the patient."

"Shock advised. Charging. Stay clear of patient. Deliver shock now."

"Press the orange button now. Shock delivered."

"Pause. Begin CPR."

Rescuer should continue CPR beginning with chest compressions and reanalyze every two minutes.

Special situations include: if there is water on the victim, wipe off the chest. If there is a transdermal medication patch, then remove the patch. If the victim has a lot of chest hair, then shave with razor and use new pads. If the victim has implanted devices, the pads must be at least one inch away from these devices. Do not place the pad directly over the device.

Remember, for adult CPR, the ratio of compression to ventilation is 30:2 for both one and two rescuers. For two rescuers, change the compressor every two minutes, or every five cycles, to avoid fatigue. Rescuers should try to change the compressor role in less than 5 seconds.
