In the CPR sequence with a partner, when should the AED be brought to the scene?

After the first ventilation

Before starting CPR

After the first two actions of CPR

In a two-rescuer CPR situation, the priority is to provide high-quality chest compressions right away while preparing the AED so it can be used as soon as it’s ready. The best timing is to start the CPR, doing the first two essential actions, and have your partner bring the AED to the scene during those initial actions. This minimizes delays in both circulation and potential defibrillation. Waiting longer—such as after several cycles—or fetching the AED before starting CPR would unnecessarily slow down life-saving care. Once the AED arrives, you apply the pads and follow its prompts, delivering a shock if advised and then resuming CPR with minimal interruption.
