There isn't many differences in the ER versus the field. The nice thing is you could just scream nurse or doctor. as far the job is concerned. They will mostly likely have you aid in compression since it is very difficult some nurses to do for extended periods of time. The important thing to remember is patient position. Where is the pt? on the floor or bed. If pt is on the hard flat surface like the floor have at it. But if you find the patient coding on a bed, have someone or yourself, adjust the bed to a lower position to make compression easier. and FIND A HARD FLAT SURFACE! it is vital that you give adequate perfusion to the pt and this can't happen if the pt sinks into the bed on every compression. Flat plastic back boards are usually found on the crash cart or near by. Hope this helps... Mike
