So if we unpack that, what are you thinking thus far?
3:05
Um, wow.
3:07
Yeah, that's quite the case.
3:09
And obviously, um, the initial kind of complaint, you'd think, "Oh, this is just an old person that fell, and I'm gonna pick them up, and we'll be on our way." [laughs] So obviously, things got a little bit more complicated for this crew.

So you and I together move the patient to that location.
18:04
And then that's where we're going to do.
18:06
I'm going to continue CPR.
18:07
You're going to do the first rhythm analysis.
18:09
So.

And because we picked the optimal location from a human factors and optimal space, where would you put the monitor and the airway bag in this patient?
