Can i use aed pads on an adult if the pads aren't adult pads?

In: Emergency Preparedness, CPR [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is not recommended that child pads be used on an adult; but it appears in the latest ECC 2010 conference there is leeway in using adult pads on children. If for example no other pads are available nor will be available for a period of time I would use them on an adult..... what choice, in reality, would I have?
