Which set correctly lists the three roles in the resuscitation triangle of a high-performance team?

• A. Compressor; AED/Monitor/Defibrillator; Airway
• B. Nurse; Doctor; Technician
• C. Paramedic; Bystander; Reporter
• D. Leader; Scribe; Timer

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that high-performance CPR relies on three front-line clinical tasks being covered at once, so perfusion, rhythm management, and oxygenation stay continuous. The set that fits this is the one that lists a dedicated compressor for chest compressions, someone operating the AED/monitor/defibrillator for rhythm analysis and shocks, and a person handling the airway to ensure ventilation. When these three roles work together, CPR stays effective and you can quickly identify and respond to changes in the patient’s condition. Other options mix in general professional titles or nonclinical roles (like bystander or reporter) or administrative roles (leader, scribe, timer) that don’t specify the real-time clinical tasks needed during resuscitation. While leadership and coordination are important, they don’t replace the essential clinical actions required to maintain circulation, assess rhythm, and manage the airway.
