This document appears to be an assessment checklist for responding to a medical emergency. It lists various actions and roles divided into categories like danger, response, airway, breathing, circulation, defibrillator, drugs, and reversible causes. For each item it indicates whether the task was completed by the first responder, airway role, circulation role, defibrillator role, drug role, or team leader and provides space to check off whether the task was assessed, treated or not applicable.
