That's a lot to remember. I hope most people have a better memory than I do.

Wow. I served in the St John Ambulance and supervised a cadet division in Newcastle England and parts of this training are way off. I also teach this as a job weekly since 2009.

1. On the positive I'm encouraged to see the recovery position being performed by pushing the casualty away. This is the BEST option when working with a larger person, child to adult, as an example.
2. The DRAB, (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing), process takes up to 30 seconds. You should NOT be making a phone call until you have put them into recovery IF you are on your own. Otherwise it can be done by a bystander after the DRAB process. The full process, DRAB and RECOVERY POSITION should take up to a minute in real time.
3. The secondary survey should NOT be done after you have turned the casualty into the recovery position, not so much a bleed or a burn but if the person has a fracture, not feet or fingers, you could make it worse. I'm thinking turning someone onto a broken rib on the heart side particularly.
4. The distance the demonstrator was from the casualties mouth to listen for breathing was too far. You should be within 5cm/2" of the casualties mouth particularly as this was demonstrated outdoors where it can be inclement weather.
5. Once you have them in the recovery position both the breathing and pulse should be checked every 2/3 minute. The levels of response can be checked by pinching the ear or shoulder.

I hope what I've said makes sense but by all means respond

After verifying good breathing, you should do a wet check, apply critical interventions, then move to a head to toe.

Then you will do the recovery position, continuous monitoring.

They want to ask to wake up just in case it is a prank
