Chest
WHERE YOU STAND
Player's RIGHT side, level with the chest (PEAP red mark).
WHAT YOU BRING
Nothing. First hands on the player.
WHAT YOU DO
- Check for signs of life: breathing and carotid pulse together, no more than 10 seconds.
- Cardiac arrest: start chest compressions at once — 5–6 cm, 100–120/min, full recoil. 30:2 until the i-gel is in, then continuous.
- Do not stop compressions while the AED pads go on.
- Trauma: run the primary survey (A-c-B-C-D-E) and treat what you find: trauma mask, airway adjuncts, cervical collar.
- Take the CHEST in the log roll. If there is no team leader, you lead.
WHAT YOU SAY
If it is not your colour, do not reach in.
On the PEAP poster: Trauma: assess the player with A-c-B-C-D-E and apply treatment. Cardiac arrest: commence chest compressions.
