16. You are lifeguarding at Schlitterbahn for the summer. A man that was
tubing the lazy river has become unresponsive, is not breathing, and needs
CPR. You begin compressions and a coworker has called 911 and has
brought the AED. The man's chest is very wet and hairy. You should
continue with compressions and breathing because the AED pads won't stick.
put the 911 dispatcher on speaker phone and see what advice he gives.
5 p
make sure the man is laying in a dry area, grab a towel and quickly dry the man's
chest, use the razor from the AED case to shave the hair from the spots needed on
his chest, put the AED pads on, and begin following the AED instructions.
lay a towel on the man's chest, put the AED pads onto the towel and hope that the
AED picks up his heart rhythm and delivers a shock through the towel.
