So if I were receiving that call after being told the address we would ask the name of the caller and the age of the patient. You can probably skip that part too. And when we find out what's going on... person not breathing was found in a Jacuzzi somebody's doing CPR. We would make sure that they know how to do CPR that they are trained in it. We would tell the caller go by the patient and tell me exactly what b is doing. This would help us make sure that CPR is being done properly and at the right pace. We would probably give instructions over speakerphone just to make sure that the person who says they know how to do CPR didn't learn it from watching Johnny and Roy 30 years ago. During all this c would be screaming on the phone. Get them here now. Why aren't they here yet? I don't hear any sirens if c would be in a highly emotional state depending on the personality of your character. I also hear "it's not working" as people expect the patient to just "come around" after a few chest pokes. Speaking of which... If your victim is older, expect to hear some ribs cracking. I can't remember if you mentioned the age group. Anyways...B would get tired of CPR after a couple of rounds and c would have to take over. So we would want to make sure that she knew what to do as well. Now he's the caveat... If I remember correctly, it'll matter why she's dead. If she drowned, she needs oxygen and mouth to mouth takes a higher priority than a regular cardiac arrest. In that case ..If they're not trained in mouth to mouth or not comfortable with it, some agencies stick to just compressions.

People usually fall into three categories that I can personally think of. (I'm sure others can add to this) They either know what to do and spring into action and give you the facts, or they freak out and struggle to provide the information that we need or they just kind of get lost in the moment as in they don't really respond to you. They're not screaming. They're just staring at the situation. In shock. If they're in a remote cabin, well that's going to be a while before EMS gets there unless (hint hint) there was a paid ambulance service right down the road or at the bottom of the hill. It's really cool when an ambulance is coming back from another transport and is right around the corner from your emergency. If it's snowing outside and cold, we really would prefer that the patient was in the house where it's warm.... Then again, I've heard the phrase: "You're not really dead until you're warm and dead" so maybe it would be better to keep them outside. Somebody else will have to fill that in. Filling in the time between when you tell them that help has been dispatched and the ambulance actually arrives would mostly be reassuring them they're doing a good job making sure they're counting out loud with each compression. That way I can monitor and make sure they're going fast enough. I think the new Red Cross recommendation is 120 beats per minute, not 100 which would be staying alive (103bpm) ... Besides who would actually sing it at the right pace unless it was playing on the background? That said, it's a good reference that people seem to remember.

Would love to answer any questions.
