Apply the pads to chest. 4. Stand back and let it analyze. 5. “STAND CLEAR” If shock advised press the red button. 6. Start CPR immediately after the shock is delivered.

Slide13Trauma Codes Trauma  Codes Trauma  Codes Trauma  Codes Are we as BLS responders going to treat the trauma arrest patient any differently? NO! They Need CPR The need no delay in getting to the Trauma center

Slide14After the  Cardiac  Arrest After  the  Cardiac  Arrest After  the  Cardiac  Arrest After  the  Cardiac  Arrest 1. Ensure the patient and their family are cared for. 2. Ensure all sharps and bio waste are properly disposed of. 3. IF  a coroner is to be requested that must be done by Law Enforcement 4. Plug in a new set of pads in the AED and ensure it is “Rescue Ready”. Put it back in service, download will occur later. 5. Ensure EMS Bag is restocked and operationally ready. 6. Notify the Duty Chief that the AED has be deployed on a cardiac arrest patient. They will facilitate getting the data downloaded.
