I’m a trained medical first responder.

Can I help?

Mrs. Green: Help! I think that my husband is having a heart attack. Could somebody help us?
Room Boy: Calm down, Mrs. Green. I’ll call for our Medical First Responder.
Mrs. Green: Hurry, please! I’m afraid he would die. I will have to go back and see my husband’s
condition.
First Responder 1: I’m Miss Jenny Ann Chan; I’m a trained medical first responder. Can I help?
Mrs. Green:Yes, you can. Hurry, please come in. He’s right on the bed.
First Responder 1: Hey, Sir, are you okay? Sir, can you hear me? He is unconscious! Hand me
the Automated External Defibrillator
Mrs. Green:What are you doing? Is he alright? Tell me, please!
First Responder 2: Ma’am, please calm down. Your husband’s going to be alright if you let us
do our job. Please come with me and have a seat.
First Responder 1: I’ll check for airway and breathing.
Mrs. Green: Is he breathing?
First Responder 2: Calm down, Ma’am. I’m afraid you’ll be sick too. Please stay close to me
and let Miss Jenny check on your husband.
First Responder 1: Breathless! I’ll give 2 IVM/Initial Ventilatory Maneuver with the aid of my
pocket mask.
First Responder 2: Did the air enter the lungs?
First Responder 1: Yes, it did! I’ll check for the pulse.
Mrs. Green: Is my husband still alive?
First Responder 1: The patient is breathless and pulseless! Miss Lea, please attach the AED to
Mr. Green and turn it on.
First Responder 2: The patient needs a shock! Everybody please clear the way. Move away from
the patient.
First Responder 1: Everybody is clear; I’ll do the first shock.
First Responder 2: First shock is done; I’ll do CPR.
First Responder 1: Please, check again for breathing and pulse.
First Responder 2: Mr. Green is now breathing and has a pulse.
First Responder 1: Mrs. Green, your husband has now been revived. Please calm down.
Mrs. Green:Thank you so much!
First Responder 1: You’re welcome, we just did our job.

1. Do you think that early CPR increases the survival rate of the patient from
heart attack?
