Welcome to this edition of The First Aid Show. Today we are going to look at an ALS scenario
in a short film presented by Tony, our paramedic, who presents our advanced life support course.
What we are going to look at now is a patient who is being transported to hospital under
non-emergency conditions, who suddenly becomes unresponsive en route. I asked my colleague
to pull over and to come into the back to give me some assistance. Meanwhile, I will
manage this scenario. Hello, hello, can you hear me? Kynan, can you come and give me a
hand? The patient's unresponsive. Airway. He has got no pulse and no respirations. Can
you set up the AED, please? Meanwhile, I will start chest compressions.
Stay calm. Follow these instructions. Make sure emergency services are called now. Begin
by exposing patient's bare chest. Remove or cut clothing, if needed. When patient's chest
is bare, remove the white square package from lid of AED. Do not touch the patient. Analysing
heart rhythm. Please wait. Shock advised. Do not touch the patient.
Stand clear.. Stand clear, shocking.. Press. Shock delivered. It is now safe to touch the patient. Give 30 rapid compressions
and two breaths as instructed.. Kynan, I think he is starting to take a breath.. Place heel of one hand on centre of chest between nipples.
Yeah, the patient is now breathing again.. Place heel of other hand directly on top of....
