Presentation transcript:

You Are the Emergency Medical Responder Lesson 8: Scene Size-Up You Are the Emergency Medical Responder You are summoned to a neighbor's home after the 43-year-old mother and her two children from next door were apparently overcome by carbon monoxide from using a gas oven. The power went out earlier and has not been restored. The family members were found by a concerned neighbor. When you arrive, you see the mother and one of the children who are conscious and complaining of nausea and severe headaches. You also see a 6-year-old boy who appears to be unresponsive and not breathing.

Scene Safety Use the senses: Look and feel for hazards. Listen for unusual sounds. Smell to detect any unusual or unexpected odors. Observe the scene for dangers.

Guidelines for Personal Safety Take time to evaluate the scene. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Do not attempt to do anything you are not trained to do. Get the help needed by notifying additional personnel.

Guidelines for Others’ Safety True scene safety is a continuous, not an initial, process. Never move a patient unless there is immediate danger. Continuously scan for possible hazards. Use appropriate emergency moves if in immediate danger. Be alert for potential bystander dangers.

Activity You are called to the scene of a motor-vehicle crash in which a driver lost control of his car. The car hit a utility pole sideways and then another parked car, eventually causing the car to land on its roof. The car was not equipped with airbags, and neither the driver nor the passenger was wearing a seat belt. The windshield on the driver’s side is shattered. The passenger in the car was thrown approximately 30 feet from the car. The front hood of the car is beginning to smoke, and there is glass and liquid all over the roadway.

Mechanism of Injury Vehicle collisions Head-on crash Rear-end crash Side impact Rotational impact Rollover Blunt or penetrating injuries Falls Blast injuries

Additional Resources Advanced life support Air medical transport Utility department Fire department Law enforcement Specialized resources, such as HAZMAT
