Return to article: How to Provide Effective Emergency Leadership During First Aid
on 7/31/2008 These are very good recommendations for those who may be trained to act in emergency situations. Remember also what you have been trained to do and the other people who may be on scene. Always defer leadership to someone with a higher level of training, and never attempt any skill or treatment in which you have not been sufficiently trained. No one should attempt to handle a real medical emergency on their own- the first step should be to call 911 and get the appropriate resources on scene.
on 11/22/2005 Never tell someone to call 911. Always tell someone specifically. Point at them, make eye contact, and speak in an assertive voice. It helps if you tell 2 people, but not more than 4, because you want 911 to be able to focus.
