In a sports canteen near Hengelo a man collapses. He does not respond when you speak to him and shake him, and after ten seconds of looking, listening and feeling he is not breathing normally. There is no AED yet. What do you do?
Call 112, ask for an AED and start 30 chest compressions straight away
Call 112, ask for an AED and put him in the recovery position
Call 112 and, without a course, wait until the ambulance arrives
Explanation
False — you delay help because you have not had a course. Waiting costs the victim precious minutes: start chest compressions straight away and attach the AED as soon as it arrives; the device tells you exactly what to do (Book p.172-174).
