Tap the shoulders..."Hey buddy, are you okay?!!! - no response, order someone to call 911!, get IDE! proceede to CPR. Pump the chest then fill their lungs and do it again and again until paramedics arrive. If the IDE is available you turn it on and follow the instructions.

The instructions tell you to place one electrode on the side or back of the heart area and the other towards the front. Then you clear and allow it to discharge.

It's super simple stuff but under pressure things can get messy. Just ignore the boob and compress their chest to save their life.

You remember a lot!

One great thing now is that 911 operators will actually walk you through CPR if you have them on the phone on speaker! So if you call them, they will direct you and put that cpr training to best use. The AED pads also have pictures showing exactly where to put them.

You do not have to wait for the AED charge to leave the body -- immediately after you press the shock button, the electricity instantly leaves the body and they are safe to touch again -- you can go right back to compressions.
