Hey guys,
This is a scenario I'm putting into a creative writing piece. just want to run this by you guys for a critique if the following sequence of events is accurate, and also I have a couple of questions for you guys...
1-Dispatched to unresponsive pt
2-arrived on scene to find bystander already had started cpr
3-you would let the by stander continue while you hook up the AED and your partner sets up the oxygen
4-As soon as those things are set up, you take over cpr from the bystander and your partner is ready with the oxygen. you do cpr for 2 mins and then hit the defib.
5-He/she come's back to life
QUESTIONS:
1-how many cycles of CPR/AED does it take on avg for those of you whose pt's have successfully come back?
2-what do you do once he/she's come back? (ie put them on a stretcher with o2 and position of comfort and thats it?)
3-once they've come back is there any common response (ie. are they generally lethargic, do they talk, are they generally vocal about the pain they feel from the broken ribs?, etc)
