You don’t have to, but some defibrillator kits include a razor, and when I took a CPR class, we were taught how to remove hair using either a razor or an extra set of defib pads.
They’re constantly updating best practices, the kits come with a little razor now. Though we got told to apply the pad on the hair and then pull it off, effectively waxing the area. It’s apparently to get better contact. Personally I think shaving would be more effective, suppose you do what you have to in the situation.
you dont have to shave chest hair, wtf are you talking about?

That’s for excessive hair. Just make sure you both aren’t in a puddle.

Waxing would be faster and if there’s still hair you could shave it. More painful of course but if it wakes them up you can stop there.
