Guidelines for First Aid/CPR Administrationon The following is a list of guidelines to be followed by Emergency Management Agency Volunteers in rendering first aid/CPR during an event which the EMA is taking part in:  1) All first aid measures should be done immediately when needed or requested. But these measures will only be done to the level of training in which the volunteer has received.  2) If first aid supplies are not on-hand or you are not comfortable performing the first aid, contact event EMS. 3) Anything more than a minor cut or scratch will be reported to event EMS.  4) As a minimum the following information will be recorded by the person(s) administering first aid/CPR:  Name(s) of injured person(s) Parent’s name if patient is a minor Details about the incident/accident What kind of treatment was provided Date/Time treatment provided 5) If the patient is a minor, you must obtain consent to treat the child from one of his or her parents or an adult who has been left in charge of that child. Consent is not needed if child is incapacitated in some way (unconscious, etc) or if it is an emergency.  6) Once EMS arrives on scene, patient information will immediately be passed onto them. At that time, all patient care will be turned over to EMS unless they ask for your assistance.  7) No over the counter drugs shall be dispensed to the general public at any time (i.e. - Tylenol, aspirin, cold meds, etc.)   LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS In the eyes of the law, assistance given by first aiders to ill or injured people is expected to be given to the level of their competence. The general legal principle is that the first aiders are expected to act reasonably and prudently with a genuine concern for the best interests of the victim.  Persons administering first aid have nothing to fear as long as they act reasonably, with caution and follow accepted teaching and protocols.
