LAFD cardiac arrest dispatch protocol

The doc­u­ment be­low is an ex­cerpt from a prin­ted ver­sion of the scrip­ted ques­tions LAFD dis­patch­ers must work their way through on a com­puter as part of every 911 call. It de­scribes how dis­patch­ers must re­spond to re­ports of car­di­ac ar­rest, where the heart sud­denly stops beat­ing.
