We investigate a critical medical emergency known as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and focus on how ambulance call-takers handle repairs during an interactive sequence concerning the retrieval of automatic external defibrillators (AED). Clear communication about AEDs is vital, because the device can deliver a life-saving shock to an OHCA patient's heart. We examined repair initiations, and their subsequent trajectories, during the defibrillator sequences in 58 OHCA emergency calls. We found evidence of competing influences in resolving such repairs: (1) providing a repair solution (including ensuring caller comprehension of what a defibrillator is) to achieve intersubjectivity that could resolve the question of defibrillator availability; or (2) progressing the call as swiftly as possible to an immediately applicable life-saving intervention such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The findings suggest that in certain institutional contexts, such as emergency medical service dispatch, the resolution of repairs in communication can take varying trajectories in order to achieve the most feasible goal in immediate time. We suggest that emergency medical services consider these trajectories in helping ambulance call-takers anticipate repairs in OHCA calls.</p>","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"150-164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85985134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dataset for the study consists of video recordings of 26 occasions of eating activities. We investigate the use of embodied, vocal and verbal assessments (e.g., headshakes, nods and gustatory 'mmm') together with evaluative terms (e.g., 'good' or 'great') in three consecutive phases in these activities: 'introducing the mealtime activity', 'offering the food' and 'receiving the food'. Drawing on multimodal analysis of interaction, we analyze three mealtime events, in which we show how assessments are issued by caregivers more often in interaction with a person with dementia who appears less engaged in the activity compared to a more engaged resident. Moreover, the analysis explicates how assessments fit in with the overall organization of the activity and are issued in a timely fashion when the food is introduced and brought close to the lips of the person with dementia, and when it is accepted. The findings show that assessments are used not only to share an evaluation of e.g., food or the action of the person with dementia, but also to manage the assisted eating activity. Assessments seem to be used distinctively (1) to build joint attention in the eating activity and (2) to encourage the assisted person to submit to/continue the activity of eating.</p>","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"134-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87488159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
