Guide steps
3 short steps to standardize the response.
Watch-outs
4 risk checkpoints to keep execution clean.
Call / Coordinate
- Assign caller and backup caller before incidents happen.
- Use a plain-language script with exact site access details.
- Assign an entry-point guide for EMS handoff.
CPR / First actions
- Start CPR early when indicated and rotate compressors every ~2 minutes.
- Protect continuity during role swaps and crowd pressure.
- Keep commands short and explicit to reduce confusion.
AED / Device actions
- Measure walk time to AED and remove access barriers.
- Confirm cabinet visibility, access hours, and signage.
- Integrate AED arrival milestone into drill scoring.
No role assignment
Risk: Critical first actions happen late because everyone assumes someone else is doing them.
What to check: Assign caller/CPR/AED roles per shift and post quick role card.
Hidden access barriers
Risk: Locked doors, poor signage, or desk dependency increase time-to-AED.
What to check: Run a timed walk test and log blockers for correction.
Weak handoff plan
Risk: EMS loses time locating scene and obtaining context.
What to check: Designate and train an EMS guide role.
Infrequent drills
Risk: Performance degrades under stress despite policy compliance.
What to check: Schedule short recurring drills with simple milestones.
Run one drill and one scenario next
Use the same sequence while the guide is still fresh. Keep the reps short and action-first.

Practice from the guide, then request team follow-up
Use one public practice step now. Request team follow-up only when the guide needs to move into a real rollout.
- Open one item
- Keep what helped
- Ask only when ready
Keep for later

Use this only when the public step is ready to become a team rollout.
