Narrative

PAX WAS UNCONSCIOUS; AND HIS SKIN WAS GREEN; I ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. 2 FLT ATTENDANTS LAID THE PAX IN THE AISLE; WHILE I GOT THE AED (DEFIBRILLATOR) AND EMER MEDICAL KIT. SINCE PAX WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND NOT BREATHING; WE CHKED PULSE AND PUPILS. THE AED PADS WERE APPLIED TO THE PAX. AFTER A FEW SECONDS; THE AED ADVISED FOR MMR/CCC. I STARTED COMPRESSIONS TO PAX. AFTER 5 COMPRESSIONS; FLT ATTENDANT BREATHE TWICE. WE DID THIS FOR 3 SETS. FLT ATTENDANTS CHKED FOR PULSE. PAX CONTINUED WITHOUT PULSE. FLT ATTENDANT AND I CONTINUED MMR/CCC. AT ONE TIME; THE AED (AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR) ADVISED US TO STOP THE MMR/CCC TO ANALYZE THE PAX. THE AED ADVISED US WHEN TO RESUME MMR/CCC. WE CONTINUED ADMINISTERING MMR/CCC FOR APPROX 15 MINS AND STOPPED BECAUSE THE EMT'S (EMER MEDICAL TEAM) ARRIVED. THEY TOOK OVER. THE EMT'S CONNECTED THEIR OWN EQUIP TO PAX. WHEN THEY FINISHED WORKING ON PAX; THEY DID NOT REMOVE HIM OFF THE PLANE. NOTE: ALL FLT ATTENDANTS SHOULD BE TRAINED TO USE THE AED. FURTHERMORE; FLT ATTENDANTS SHOULD BE ADVISED/TRAINED ON HOW TO ASSIST DURING THE EMER SIT THOUGH THEY MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH HELPING THE PAX. FOR EXAMPLE: STOPPING OTHER PEOPLE FROM COMING TOO CLOSE TO THE PATIENT/INJURED PAX; OBTAIN NECESSARY EQUIP TO ASSIST THE PAX; MAKING CALLS AND GETTING MORE ASSISTANCE.
