Analyze & Assess

I think that we followed ACT protocol correctly; Katie was able to recognize that Aileen was not ok and asked her if she was choking. When Aileen was showing the universal sign for choking Wendy came and she knew how to react. She asked Aileen if she could cough and she couldn’t and when Aileen when unconscious, Wendy sent me (Kaitlin) to call 9-1-1 and sent Rose to get the AED. The area was clear of hazards and Wendy started chest compressions. After 30 she used the head-tilt chin-lift method to see if she could see the obstruction but she couldn’t so she continued chest compressions. When Rose returned with the AED they started to get ready to use it but a medical professional had arrived to take over.
