Workshop scope
The presentation uses a customer collapsing outside a shop to explore how colleagues organise a response. It covers common medical emergencies, primary assessment, CPR/AED awareness, secondary history, monitoring and practical training. Its 2011–2019 statistics describe that historical period.
Why prompt assistance matters
The deck attributes the following 2016 figures to MOH UPEC. They explain the importance of trained community response rather than predict an individual outcome.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Out-of-hospital cases | 2,503 |
| Bystander CPR | 56.4% |
| Bystander AED use | 4.6% |
| Survived to discharge or 30 days | 163; 6.5% |
| Occurred in residences | 73.4% |
Organise the response
Check scene safety, responsiveness and normal breathing; summon emergency help and retrieve an AED. Follow dispatcher instructions and AED prompts, and provide CPR when indicated using current training. Assign colleagues to call, get equipment, guide responders and keep access clear. The slides introduce DRSABC and recovery position; an old presentation is not a replacement for current practical instruction.
History, monitoring and readiness
For a responsive casualty, SAMPLE organises symptoms, allergies, medicines, past history, last meal and events before the incident. Observe changes in breathing and alertness for responders. Train more than one person on each shift, maintain accessible equipment and rehearse the collapse scenario. Avoid filming that interferes with care or privacy.
