| It immediately detects hazards at the scene and creates a safe working area. |
| By examining the patient or injured person from head to toe, it identifies life-threatening issues within seconds. |
| When looking at an ECG strip, it distinguishes between normal and abnormal rhythms. |
| It determines which rhythm requires defibrillation and which requires drug treatment. |
| Uses the defibrillator safely and quickly without breaking the rules. |
| By acquiring airway management skills (such as intubation), it provides advanced respiratory support to the patient. |
| Manages advanced life support protocols (medication, massage, shock) with the team in a patient whose heart has stopped. |
| It assesses the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in a patient presenting with chest pain and applies the appropriate algorithm. |
| It provides appropriate emergency intervention when the heart is beating too fast (tachyarrhythmia) or too slow (bradyarrhythmia). |
| Develops a strategy to resuscitate the patient by investigating the underlying causes of cardiac arrest (5H - 5T). |
