The particular ways in which these steps are accomplished arecontingentonphenomenawithin the setting itself.We can see the activities occurring inthis fragment as taking the form of sequences of action,with the conduct of one actionorientedtobytheparticipantsasprojectinganextrelevantactiontofollow.For instance,N1treatstheAED’sutterance‘delivershock’inline1asmakingrelevantthepressingofthebuttonontheAED–notonlyintermsofperformingtheactionbutalsoinitstimingsothatitoccursdirectlyaftertheutterance.Shethentreatsthepressingofthebuttonasmakingrelevant the placing of the Smart Watch on the patient’s chest. In turn this placementprojects the involvementof thewatchas relevant to thenextaction thatwilloccur– thecompressions,whicharethenconductedbyN4.Asequenceisunfoldinginwhichoneactionbuilds on another and activities are accomplished via collaboration between participants.We observe that the AED is oriented to as a (non-human) participant in this setting; itsutterances are listened to and responded to.

She places it in aparticular way so that its face can be easily seen by N4, who will be conducting thecompressions. With this action N1 displays sensitivity to the ongoing task at hand, theparticularwaysinwhichthetaskwillbeachievedandtheneedsofherco-participants.Asaresult theWatch becomes available to be used at the appropriatemoment andwithoutdisruptingtheongoingprocedureinanyway.IntheopeningphaseofthisdatafragmentboththeAEDandSmartWatchare integratedintotheactivitiesbeingundertakenbythenurses.Thisappearstobeachievedinarelativelyseamlessway that does not disrupt the clinical tasks being undertaken.

According to the standardprocedure, N4 is required to undertake a cycle of 30 compressions, made in a steady

As she completes her first compression, N1 moves her right arm to theWatch(Figure5);asshecompletesthesecond,N1tapsthefaceoftheWatch.WhathashappenedisthattheWatchhasnotturnedonandisthereforenotmeasuringthecompressionsasitissupposed to.N1’s actions attempt to switch theWatchonand continue (Figure5) asN4carriesoutthethirdandfourthcompressions.Infact,N4takesalongerpausebetweenthethird and fourth compression than previously – an actionwhich appears designed to aidN1’s attempts to switch on theWatch. In this way both N1 and N4 treat theWatch ascontingent totheongoingtaskandtheabsenceof itsmeasurementasproblematic.Theirattemptstoresolvetheprobleminturndisrupttherhythmofthecompressions.
