The next thing you should do is:

Put your cell phone on speaker and place it next to the patient.

Wait until the dispatcher tells you what to do next.

Never use a cell phone to call 911.

Hand your phone to a bystander.

You need to determine if the patient is breathing normally. How do you do that?

Look at the patient’s chest for rise and fall

Shake the patient to see if they respond

The patient is not breathing, or is breathing once or twice a minute. The next step in attempting to save this patient is to:

Begin compressions — pushing hard and fast.

Begin by ventilating the patient twice.

Begin compressions — pushing slow and softly so the patient is not harmed.

Keep the public away until EMS arrives.

An employee arrives with an AED. What should you do?

Continue compressions until the AED tells you to “not touch the patient for analysis

Tell the person that the AED should not be used on this patient

Wait for EMS to utilize the AED

Immediately stop compressions so they can put the AED on

The following is true of AEDs:

They are safe for use by bystanders because they will only shock patients who need to be shocked.

You have to be very careful because they have been known to shock the rescuer

Should only be used if you know that the patient is having a heart attack

Should be removed immediately after it shocks
