Please share this very important announcement.
A stroke of heart attack is a medical emergency. The faster you get to the Emergency room the less damage to your body and brain.
** Ambulance Department **
When calling for emergency medical assistance, a few questions will be asked by the Ambulance Dispatcher. However, having the necessary information beforehand will be a huge help in getting assistance faster.
Question such as :
Whatโs the address of the emergency - Giving the exact address, such as the name of the Road/Drive and District. Landmarks are also helpful as well.
Whatโs the phone number youโre calling from - even with the most updated technological advancements known to man, calls do drop/fall out. The ambulance dispatcher cannot call you back if they donโt have your number.
Say exactly what happened. Give every detail that youโre able to. Let the Ambulance Dispatcher know if youโre with the patient or passing second/third hand information.
How old is the person/s - Even if you do not know the exact age, there is no harm in taking an educated guess.
Is he/she breathing - This information is very important and should not be assumed or guessed. To determine if a person is breathing, look to see if their chest is rising and falling, listen over their mouth and nose for breathing sounds or feel their breath against your cheek for 10 seconds. It is better to say you donโt know than give incorrect information.
Is she/he awake/conscious: This information is very important and should not be assumed or guessed. To determine if a person is alert/conscious, simply speak to them. If she/he doesnโt respond/answer back, they are not awake/conscious. Tapping or pinching them on their shoulder is necessary as well.
Based on the information you provided, more question maybe asked. Always remember, you are the eyes/ears in any emergency medical situation.
More information you provide = fewer questions asked.
