While walking a trail to a local rock climbing area you notice a person in the group just ahead collapse. Quickly, someone is kneeling at the patient’s side, fingers on the carotid pulse while they yell at him. Even from a distance you can see the patient is grey in color with blue lips. The rescuer aggressively removes the patient’s pack and begins chest compressions. You estimate less than 30 seconds passed before CPR was started.
Subjective
The patient is a 60-year old male who collapsed while walking--he fell from a standing position and is in cardiac arrest.
Objective
Patient Exam: No obvious injuries. Detailed head-to-toe not possible at this time.
