Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Cardiac Arrest
Justification for F1 Classification:
- Unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse detected
- High probability of life-threatening emergency
- Time-critical intervention required (CPR, defibrillation)

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Cardiac Arrest (most likely)
2. Severe Hypoglycemia (less likely given no history of recent insulin use and known history of MI)
3. Massive Stroke (less likely given sudden onset)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (possible, but less likely than cardiac arrest)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Immediate CPR instructions to caller
- AED location confirmation
- Preparation for advanced life support and transport to nearest hospital
