SOLDIER'S MANUAL AND TRAINER'S GUIDE - Fort Drum

STP 8-91W15-SM-TG
Performance Steps
NOTE: The rescuer doing rescue breathing should recheck the carotid pulse every 3 to 5
minutes.
13. When the pulse and breathing are restored, continue to evaluate the casualty. If the
casualty's condition permits, place him or her in the recovery position. (See task 081-831-
0018.)
CAUTION: During evacuation, CPR or rescue breathing should be continued en route if
necessary. When pulse and breathing are restored, the casualty should be watched closely.
Evaluation Preparation:
Setup: For training and evaluation a CPR mannequin must be used. Place the mannequin face
up on the floor. One-rescuer CPR, two-rescuer CPR, or a combination of both (see NOTE after
step 10e) can be evaluated. If two soldiers are involved, they will be designated as "rescuer #1"
and "rescuer #2." Rescuer #1 will start in the chest compression position and will be the only
one scored during performance of the task. The evaluator will ensure that all aspects of the
task are evaluated by indicating whether pulse is present and when the rescuers should change
positions.
Brief soldier: If two soldiers are involved, tell them about their roles as rescuer #1 and #2. Ask
rescuer #1 on what kind of surface the casualty should be positioned. Then, tell the soldier(s) to
perform one-rescuer or two-rescuer CPR, as appropriate.
