Integrating Lay Rescuers into the Plan for School Emergencies

Medical emergencies happen every day, all over the world. Having trained professionals available on-demand to immediately assess and treat patients would be an optimal, but largely impractical expectation.

Imagine using a system of potential lay rescuer responders who could begin treatment for the most time sensitive emergency medical conditions while trained rescuers were being summoned. Empowering lay rescuers to assist with medical emergencies can have enormous implications and enhance even the best emergency response plans.

After this webinar, you will be able to:
• Understand the “gap” of response in the pre-hospital environment.
• Empower lay rescuers and help ease their reluctance to get involved in medical emergencies.
• Build an algorithm for lay rescuers to focus on the most time sensitive conditions and the equipment needed to control major bleeding, airway, and cardiac emergencies.
• Empower a system for responders to supplement emergency action plans (EAP’s).
