Here's the Scenario:
Hockey player collapses on the ice.
He's 55, no history of any cardiac problems. Teammate begins CPR while another teammate gets the AED.
When they are about to attach the AED, they notice that the hockey player is laying in a small pool of water.
Remember, this rink has excessive amounts of water on the ice because they just zamboned the ice.
What do you do? Take him off the ice or shock him there? This was a real scenario that came up in discussion in class.
