Cogwerk's Ailments! The end of Crit! A glorious new day!

[Embolism]

Well, the purpose of CPR is of course to keep oxygen going to the brain, but if your airway is obstructed then you're not getting oxygen into the lungs; which defeats the whole purpose of CPR... thus airway control, which can likely include intubation, is the most important thing; followed by breathing and then circulation.

Also, a gripe. Defibrillation works by stopping a heart that is beating abnormally (e.g. VFib) so that your natural pacemaker may restart it on a (hopefully) normal rhythm. It doesn't work on a heart that has stopped, i.e. flatlined.

Of course, SS13 is not a reality simulator, so pffft.
