Presentation transcript:

Chapter 1

 Types  Sudden illness  Injury  Categories  Life-threatening emergency  Non-life-threatening emergency

 Life-threatening emergency- illness or injury that impairs a victim’s ability to circulate oxygenated blood to all the parts of his or her body.  Non-life-threatening emergency- situation that does not have an immediate impact on a victim’s ability to circulate oxygenated blood, but still requires medical attention.

 Injury- Damage to the body from an external force.  Sudden Illness- Physical condition that requires immediate medical attention

 Your primary role as a citizen responder:  Recognizing that an emergency exists.  Deciding to act.  Taking action by calling  Giving care until help arrives.

 Reasons people give for not helping are called barriers to action.  Presence of bystanders.  Uncertainty about the victim.  Nature of the injury or illness.  Fear of disease transmission.  Fear of doing something wrong  Fear of being sued  Assuming someone else will take action

 The EMS system is a network of community resources and medical personnel that provides emergency care to victims of injury or sudden illness.
