Scenario: You arrive at a scene where 5–6 people are standing around, but no one is helping. Question: What’s one specific thing you could say or do to break the bystander effect and get help moving? ➡️ Think leadership, not medical skill.

A: Airway Why it matters: No airway = no oxygen = no life. What to Look For - Snoring, gurgling, choking - Blood, vomit, broken teeth - Inability to speak clearly What to Do 1. Position patient 2. Jaw thrust / head tilt–chin lift 3. Clear visible obstructions 4. NPA / OPA as appropriate (if trained) Tactical Considerations - Facial trauma = airway risk - Secure airway without losing scene awareness Note: Most airway failures are positioning failures.

You’re in a grocery store checkout line when the person in front of you suddenly collapses. They’re unresponsive and not breathing normally. People around you freeze. Someone says, “I think he’s having a seizure—don’t touch him.” 👉 What’s the very first thing you do, and why? 👉 What mistakes do you see people commonly make in this situation? There’s rarely a “perfect” answer—what matters is decisive action, priorities, and safety. Comment what you’d do first, not everything you’d do.
