seeking medical/procedural accuracy beta: heart attack and out-hospital CPR/AED

[alexseanchai]

(nobody bit on betaplease, nobody bit on Yuletide Discord, nobody bit anywhere else I've asked, and I am not going back to the NaNoWriMo forums until they get a permanent block feature—a four-month-tops mute that's easily circumvented does not count—and some measure of caring about accessibility)

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Characters/Pairings: Adrien Agreste (& Gabriel Agreste)
Rating & Warnings: Teen, I think? and No Archive Warnings Apply, but see notes
Estimated Fic Length: fic, no clue; scene I'm worried about, 1.7K
Notes: the canon this fic is for is distinctly SFF (it's the spiritual grandkid of Sailor Moon and Wonder Woman), but that should not make any of the parts I'm worried about any different from how they'd be in a present-day-France no-speculative-elements story. (sans coronavirus.)

the scene's action is someone having a heart attack and a couple of people with CPR training and an AED working to save him; the PoV character is one of the latter, and nobody dies in this story. (probably.) I know American Heart Association changed a relevant mnemonic from ABC to CAB, and because of reasons I don't care, but if there's any other inaccuracies, I want to know.

ETA: probably good now 🙂 thanks!

It's been a bit since I last re-upped my CPR, but I can take a look at it. ETA: I mean, fundamentally, AEDs are idiot-proofed to fuck and back, and the ones here in the states literally walk you through everything with voice commands, fwiw.

[alexseanchai]

yes but that doesn't mean I got anything right 😛🙂

thank you many! do I correctly recall that your Discord starts with a Z? and does Google Docs work for you?

I expect the UK CPR things are slightly different (they change every time I do the training!), but I have first-aid at work (which includes CPR) and AED training, so could have a look?

[alexseanchai]

probably slightly different, yeah, but also I don't care quite enough to look up the French procedures that are actually accurate to the setting, given I don't read French, you know?

thank you many! does Google Docs work for you? if so I'll PM you the link 🙂

[emperor]

Sure :)
