Medical Emergencies

  1. Report minor emergencies to Student Services On-Call support at 319-8742. Give your name, location, and telephone number. Give as much information as possible regarding the nature of the injury or illness, whether or not the victim is conscious, if any aid has been given, etc. and await instruction.
  2. If the person is seriously injured, do not attempt to move them unless there is a life-threatening danger present (i.e. falling debris, fire, explosion).
  3. Dial 911 or 9-911 for injuries requiring immediate medical attention.
  4. State the problem, state the location of where the emergency exists, and state the number you are calling from and, if possible, have someone stay close to that number until aid arrives.
  5. If you cannot leave the victim, send someone to meet and guide the emergency personnel.
  6. Administer First Aid if certified. Keep the victim as calm and comfortable as possible. If needed, administer CPR if you are certified.
  7. Remain with the victim until Emergency Personnel arrive.
