Subject: Hi Linda, I had the same questions as you did with respect to that whole scene. As for the lungs being clear I wondered if she had developed x-ray vision as she assessed them without auscaltation.There seems to be some changes to CPR since my last refressher course. (Inside)
In reply to: Linda R 's message, "Jubes we gotta talk. i have been out of the ER about 5 years so maybe a lot has changed. RT Denise and her EMTing. When did a sternal rub get into CPR? She assertained the lungs wereclear but has not listened. checked pupils before V/S and said pupils dilated bilaterally. this is bad not good. Did a proper job with the Cervical immoblization. /what do you think?" on 21:55:13 09/14/09 Mon

I checked on the web as I had heard there were some new things on the horizon regarding CPR. Here is a link about using the sternal rub before starting CPR to assess if someone is breathing. The whole scene was sort of rushed with regards to checking the victims pupils. Usually something is said with respect to them being responsive or not to light etc.
