### Core Life-Saving Emergency Protocols
Immediate bystander action during the first few minutes of a medical crisis often determines survival:
- **Adult CPR & AED:** Deliver 100–120 compressions per minute (to the beat of "Stayin' Alive") at a depth of 2 to 2.4 inches. Maintain a 30:2 compression-to-breath ratio. Attach AED pads (upper right chest, lower left ribcage) and immediately resume compressions after each shock.
- **Choking (Heimlich Maneuver):** Deliver quick upward abdominal thrusts above the navel for a conscious adult. For infants, alternate 5 back slaps and 5 two-finger chest thrusts with head positioned downward.
- **Stroke Recognition (FAST):** Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency dispatch immediately.
- **Burn Care:** Cool burns immediately under cool, running tap water for 10–20 minutes. Never apply ice, butter, or oil, and never pop intact blister roofs.
