  14. After the Cardiac Arrest • Ensure the patient and their family are cared for. • Ensure all sharps and bio waste are properly disposed of. • IF a coroner is to be requested that must be done by Law Enforcement • Plug in a new set of pads in the AED and ensure it is “Rescue Ready”. Put it back in service, download will occur later. • Ensure EMS Bag is restocked and operationally ready. • Notify the Duty Chief that the AED has be deployed on a cardiac arrest patient.
