Calculate Child’s DoseWeigh the child. Some defibrillator models have an automatic child dose attenuator, and others you have to calculate the joules yourself. Divide the child’s weight by 2.2 to convert it from pounds to kilograms. See the recommended dose for the child in kilograms. Most likely, this dose will be 2 joules, based on the recommendations from the American Heart Association. Take the number of joules for the recommended dose and multiply it by the child’s weight in kilograms.
