Front 21

What are the critical fails?

Back 21

1) Did not provide high flow/concentration of oxygen to patient

2) Did not confirm patient to be pulseless and apneic

3) Did not direct initation/resumption of ventilation/compressions at appropriate times

4) Did not assure all individuals were clear of patient before delivering shock

5) Did not operate AED properly

6) Did not correctly place pads on patient

Front 22

Can you list all twenty steps in a row?

Back 22

1) BSI

2) Question rescuer about arrest events

4) Verify absence of pulse and breathing (examiner states "no pulse") (critical fail if missed)

5) Direct resumption of CPR (critical fail)

6) Turn on defibrillator power

7) Attach defibrillator to patient (place pads correctly or critical fail!)

8) Direct rescuer to stop CPR and ensure patient is clear (critical fail if missed)

9) Initiate analysis of rhythm (critical fail if missed)


10) Deliver shock (critical fail if missed)

11) Immediately direct resumption of CPR (critical fail if missed)

12) Verbalize or direct insertion of simple airway adjunct
