Medical Emergency means a sudden onset of a condition with acute symptoms requiring immediate medical care and includes such conditions as heart attacks, cardiovascular accidents, poisonings, loss of consciousness or respiration, convulsions, or other such acute medical conditions. An illness or injury that you have had for 1 day or more is not an emergency.
Medical Emergency Response on the ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Campus
A medical emergency is defined as the sudden onset of one or more of the following:
- loss of consciousness
- shortness of breath
- acute change in behavior such as confusion
- uncontrolled bleeding
- acute pain
- complaint of chest pain
If any person on campus is complaining of any of these, call 911 immediately! Do not hesitate. Take action, even if in doubt! Start CPR if the person is not breathing and has no pulse! Have someone get the nearest AED immediately!
The ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Police Dept. will come to your location to assist you and assist local emergency responders in finding your location.
The first community emergency responders to arrive on campus will probably be the Fire Department. Most firemen are trained as Paramedics or EMT’s.
The ambulance (EMSA) will generally arrive after the Fire Department. Response time may be as little as 3 to 5 minutes since ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app is located very close to 2 fire stations.
It is absolutely free for community emergency responders to come to the University. There is no charge or penalty to the University!
Ambulance personnel will provide minor injury care at no charge if the patient is not experiencing a medical emergency.
If the person is unconscious, having difficulty breathing or chest pain, is bleeding profusely, is in severe pain, or is medically unstable, the paramedics will assess, stabilize, and transport the person to a local hospital. The patient is charged only if transported to a hospital.
