List the correct steps.

A 45-year-old male presents with a positive medical history. He reports on the medical history that he has heart problems. As the dental treatment begins, the patient loses consciousness and goes into cardiac arrest. The doctor sends the auxiliary to the front to call for help while he goes to hook up the new oxygen cylinder that had arrived that morning. At the front desk, the assistant asks the receptionist to find the number for the emergency medical service. When the doctor and assistant return to the operatory, they begin two-person CPR with the patient in the dental chair.

What will be an ideal response?


Notify the dentist of the emergency; administer basic life support if necessary; retrieve the emergency kit; retrieve the oxygen tank; retrieve the hard backboard; and assist the dentist by preparing emergency drugs. The receptionist should have emergency numbers posted.
