Does a 911 call mean the paramedics will automatically do CPR if a patient has fallen down?
We perform required interventions based on the situation at hand. CPR may be required, or other treatments may be more appropriate.
CPR is only performed on patients that are unresponsive, pulseless, and apneac (not breathing ). Don't meet those 3 requirements and CPR is not warranted.
