So when the 911 responsed for non breathing event, to my request he was incorrect..3 times.
The caller needs to diagnose, breath or non viable. Then if breath stops, after exchange, does the code change to alert a different code, that breath has ceased? 911 stays online until caller disconnects, is there a default to change the code?
In our mandatory 911 training, years ago, information sent automatically to local station, while continuing to advise CPR, choking, wound, or drowning information. Sometimes the caller had no idea if breath could be detected, or not capable of communicating information. I don’t know was common, especially in the young or elderly.
