Medical procedures and first aid procedures are not all the same. What is appropriate in a hospital setting with medical professionals, who have access to medical equipment and medications, may not be appropriate for an untrained person in their home or in a public place. Some medical providers may develop their own protocols which reflect their own areas of expertise and available resources and use mnemonics to help them.
