Daniel is alternating between using an aed and performing cpr. he uses the aed first, and then he does cpr. after five minutes of cpr, he will use the aed again. is he performing this procedure correctly? no, he needs to use only the aed. no, he needs to do two minutes of cpr. no, he needs to use the aed twice before doing cpr. no, he needs to do cpr first, then use the aed.

This is a complicated question so I’m going to give the proper procedure of what you’d do, as per my EMT and AHA BLS Course recommendations. The main issue here is whether or not he saw the casualty. If he was present at the moment the individual became approved (stopped breathing), lost his heart beat, and fell unconscious, you can begin by using an AED. If you did not see the victim go down you can begin with chest compressions and rescue breathing (CPR) for 2 minutes before applying the AED. It is recommended you perform 2 minutes or 5 cycles of chest compressions and ventilations, before applying the AED again.
