The Director of Hanover Township’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will discuss procedures for treating medical emergencies at your home or within the Bridle Path Community.  Our local EMS offers Advanced Life Support which goes beyond stabilizing care such as CPR, oxygen administration, patient monitoring and basic first aid.  In addition, they now perform critical, lifesaving interventions including IV therapy, cardiac monitoring, medication administration and advanced airway management.  This is especially vital during “golden hour” emergencies such as cardiac events, strokes, and severe trauma where rapid advanced care can truly mean the difference between life and death.  The newly equipped ambulance will be here for your inspection.

We will also discuss your readiness in a medical emergency situation, so as not to waste time, relaying medical information to the first responders.  Before professional responders arrive, ordinary citizens will be the first link in the survival chain.  Action guided by preparedness and confidence can determine life or death.  We will review newly developed forms for record keeping of personal emergency medical Information for travel and home.  Emergency medical records for travel need to be more detailed than your local records because your local provider should have your ongoing medical history and treatments immediately available via the hospital portal.

 

More information will follow.
