A patient is having a heart attack what is the first thing you should do?!
Question: the basic management of an MI goes as follows
-check responsiveness- GCS scale
-check airway
-Check breathing
-Check circulation- if they have gone into cardiac arrest then initiate basic life support
If they're ok in the above move onto MONA
-morphine IV
- Oxygen 100%
-Nitrates- gtn
-Aspirin
Investigations would include repeat ECGs, chest xray, cardiac enzyme markers
Further potential treatment is thrombylisis if the patient qualifies

Don't panic
Dial 666 for the team
Call 999
Call for help and get the de fib
Yell out "call 9-1-1" if you are unable too!
Call for an ambulance.Loosen clothing.Make sure they don't fall and hit their head.
Call 999 immediately !!! Then try and support the patient into a half sitting position [kneel behind and let them rest on you] until help arrives ! If they stop breathing start CPR . PRAY
get them out of danger,start cardiac massage
zini said it all
run ...........................................
firstly dont panic.then try giving air if doesnt work give a mouth to mouth. it can help prevent the situation.then rush to the hospital.try answering my question. bye
if the patient is unconscious the first thing to do is apply cpr.
then ask some one to call 999 for an ambulance.
cause he/she might have a stroke too.
luckily the patient is still awake then try to support him/she to sit on a chair.
u can also aks the patient if he/she is ok.
and assure the patient that u have already call 999 for an ambulance.
but no matter what u have to be stay there for him until the medical ambulance staff arrive.
good luck.
God bless
Give them a baby aspirin and call 911..the aspirin thins the blood and can make a large difference in the outcome of the attack.
