Does anyone know how to remove a nipple ring,in an emergency situation if an AED needed to be used on a victim

Most nipple rings are a hoop with a ball in the middle. The hoop is a tension type ring. The ball can pop right out.
Other nipple rings are bars with a ball on either end. One or both of those balls simply screw off.
Out of curiousity, what kind of emergency would require removing a nipple ring though?

D for Defibrillation

Typical view of the defibrillator operator. The leader is at the head of the patient, administrating oxygen. Note how the head of the patient in secured between the leader's knees. The defibrilation patches are on.
Defibrillation is an electric shock which re-initialises the cells of the heart and allows cardiac nervous pulsations to re-take control of the heart and restart normal heart beats. Modern semi-automatic defibrillators can monitor a patient's heart and decide wether a shock is recommended or not. They can be used over a pace-maker. The system begin very safe, it can be used by trained non-professional personel. Defibrillation is an essential part of the CPR : survival chances of a fibrillating patient start at 90% if defibrillated immidiately, and decrease by 10% every minute. Protocols differ by location. Consult your local EMS for more information.

Defribrillation operations start by removing all metallic parts of the patient (jewelery, nipple piercings, etc.), shaving the chest of exceptionally hairy patients, and placing defibrillation patches : one on the left side, under the heart, and the other over the right breast. When the defibrillator is turned on it will start monitoring the patient to determine wether a shock is appropriate. Most automated external defibulators loudly announce their instructions, follow the steps provided by your system.

CPR must be stopped for the examination. In all cases, defibrillation has a priority on CPR.

If the defibrillator advises a shock, the operator will shout "Warning, shocking ! Clear !" while waving his hand all over the patient. Touching the patient is dangerous when the shock is aministrated. If all is clear, the shock is administered by pressing the appropriate button.

Do not shock if

The patient is close to explosive or inflammable material.
The patient is wet.
The patient is on a conductive surface.
There is running oxygen.
If necessary, protect the patient from water and dry him, or displace the patient a few meters between each CPR cycle until the area is safe for defibrillation.

Defibrillators can also be used for monitoring and recording purpose only; a different set of patches is availlable (two or three small round patches). Should fibrillation occure when the monitoring patches are on, the defibrillator will ask the operator to change patches.
