Before The Ambulance Arrives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have called 911, there are several things you can
do until Emergency Responders arrive. These simple
procedures will greatly aid the Emergency Responders and the
patient they will treat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you determine that the patient is pulse less and
non-breathing, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),
but only if you have been trained in this life saving
technique. |
|
| |
|
|
Stay calm, do not get excited. This will reassure the
patient that help is on the way. |
|
| |
|
|
Make the patient as comfortable as possible. |
|
| |
|
|
Gather all the medication that the patient may be taking.
This will help Emergency Responders better determine the
medical history of the patient. |
|
| |
|
|
Move all furniture or obstacles out of the way so Emergency
Responders have easy access to the patient. Make sure all
pets are secure in another part of the house. |
|
| |
|
|
Remember the time, this is very important. When was the last
time you talked to the patient? How long has this medical
condition existed? How long has the person been unconscious? |
