Over wordy Gollum, you say too much when what you are trying to achieve is getting people to understand the fundamental ideas in the document..
numerous examples, far too many to mention
eg;
"Instead, I will address these two emotive questions" - could be I will answer the two most important questions.
This isn't Shakespeare, and without wanting to sound rude, I am aware you have an extremely wide vocabulary. This isn't the kind of document you need to exercise it on
People tend to zone out and ignore the most important things in text if you waffle or overword - just go and remove some of the less needed modifiers..
"ventricular fibrillation" - this isn't ER. simplify for safety, not everyone will have their medical dictionary to hand or will understand this.
the use of the word him, is a little odd - perhaps it is better to call the person, the casualty.
the use of the word ventilation - "mouth to mouth" would be preferable. no doubt if (god forbid) a situation should arise where your guidelines have to be remembered/used, they need to be simple, practical yet accurate... not the entire medical lexical set 
like Cass said as well - use of bold, and bullet points to highlight the most important points to remember. it reads far too much like a handbook than a set of guidelines.
No offence, but as it stands it is far from straight forward - no doubt some people can understand the language and terminology used, but you cannot guarantee everyone will click with your style of writing and excessive over modification of words.
When making a document like this, you have to think about the target audience, the information (and more importantly which bits are "vital" knowledge). Sorry if it sounds like i'm being an anally retentive bitch, I just have done this lots before - reading, criticising and reshaping documents for maximum effect
