What if you place defibrillator pads in the wrong place? Unfortunately, the technology of defibrillation did not increase with medical technology in general. It is difficult to place the pads in the wrong place but if you do they will not yield the same benefits and can cause damage (apart from the dying person because of their irregular heartbeat) due to " electrical burns. Returning to the issue of technology, it was clear 20 years ago that putting a front end (chest) and a rear (back) with the ability to detect and precisely limit the load power delivered through the thorax (chest) worked better, but this technology is not yet available. It is worth mentioning that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has virtually nothing and continues to universal education and the use does can be tolerated although there is an interesting story about how he came to be and why it became so popular, even in the absence of any data or studies showing benefits.
