Abstract

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are currently not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age. We report the first description of successful AED defibrillation in an infant using a 50 J shock and provide rationale for employing these life-saving devices in infants at risk for sudden cardiac death.
