Section 1 Activities and Case Studies Case Study Complete the Incident Report Log form attached for the following incident: Jill was on patrol on Saturday 17 th February at Havananoby Beach when Sarah, a member of the public, came running up to the patrol shelter. Sarah said her husband, Peter, was having chest pains after exiting the water from a body surf. Jill, an SLSA Advanced Resuscitation Certificate holder, grabbed the oxygen equipment from under the patrol shelter and carried it over to where Peter was sitting. When Jill arrived, she found Peter lying down on his back, unconscious. Jill rolled Peter into the lateral position and identified that he was still breathing. Jill immediately placed a therapy mask on Peter and called for assistance from David, a fellow patrolling member. Shortly after David arrived, Jill noticed that Peter s complexion was becoming pale and his lips had turned blue. David checked for breathing again and it was now absent. They immediately commenced 2-person CPR with Jill administering mouthto-mask oxygen aided resuscitation. Jill could not get Peter s chest to rise. Jill decided to insert an oropharyngeal airway to see if this opened the airway. It did and they continued. After performing CPR for 2 minutes, Susan, another SLSA Advanced Resuscitation Certificate holder, came running over to give assistance. Jill asked Susan to set up the oxygen airbag. After administering CPR with airbag oxygen resuscitation for a further 2 minutes, David noticed that colour was returning to Peter s face and breathing returned. David and Jill turned Peter into the lateral position as he was still unconscious and monitored his breathing and signs of life. Any minor information that you do not find out from the above case study, please make up and complete the associated sections on the Incident Report Log. Class/Group Activity As a class, or in small groups, write up a list of what could have been done differently by the patrolling members in Case Study 1. - 2 - Advanced Resuscitation Certificate/PUAEME003B Administer Oxygen in an Emergency Situation Surf Life Saving Australia
