Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer the questions:

$color(red)"How"$ :
$>$ softly, loudly, gracefully, well, fast

$color(orange)"Where"$ :
$>$ outside, above, far, indoors, there, abroad

$color(green)"When"$ :
$>$ soon, tomorrow, then, today, already

$color(blue)"How much"$ :
$>$ fairly, too, extremely, just, very

$color(purple)"How often"$ :
$>$ never, rarely, often, seldom, frequently

In your sentence I think it would be beneficial to add a $color(red)"how"$ adverb in the sentence to describe how he yelled:

$color(red)"Desperately"$ , he cried out for help when he got stuck in the revolving door.
He cried out $color(red)"loudly"$ for help when he got stuck in the revolving door.
