Learning The Deployment Sequence - Defibtech Lifeline ARM Trainer's Manual

Learning the Deployment Sequence

To minimize CPR interruptions and to most effectively use the Lifeline ARM it is recommended
two rescuers work as a team.
Before and during deployment of the Lifeline ARM:
• Confirm that the patient is unresponsive and not breathing.
• Start manual compressions.
• Minimize compression interruptions as much as possible.
• Perform manual compressions whenever possible.
Team dynamics are important. Establish who will be in charge of starting manual CPR and
who will perform the various steps of assembly.
Trainer Tip:
always takes precedence over the setup and use of the device.
This section of the course covers the core elements of how to deploy the Lifeline ARM in a
real-time emergency setting. The goal of the rescuer is to put the Lifeline ARM into action as
quickly and smoothly as possible.
Trainer Tip:
a partner while talking at the same time can be a challenge: Practice
this aspect of the training beforehand to be sure participants can hear
you and see what you are doing.
