It covers emergency response outside the clinics, Self Aid Buddy Care, public access defibrillation, and 61 MDS-initiated EMS or transport. It requires specified information and coordination when contacting EMS and Security Forces and defines care that trained or untrained personnel may provide.
Applies to: This instruction applies to all personnel assigned to Los Angeles AFB and the Fort MacArthur annex.
The best emergency medical response for Los Angeles AFB and at Fort MacArthur is by contacting the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical System (EMS) directly so emergency personnel, vehicles, and equipment are not delayed in being dispatched to the site of the emergency. (paragraph 1)
While 911 can be dialed directly from any office at Los Angeles AFB or Fort MacArthur, the location registered with the EMS is the base telephone operator, not the site of the emergency. (paragraph 1)
Non-medical base personnel trained in Self Aid Buddy Care may provide care within the scope of their training until EMS arrives. (paragraph 1)
Personnel not trained in CPR may provide ―Hands Only‖ CPR for victims who are unresponsive (i.e., unconscious, not moving and talking).
The 61 MDS health care provider is responsible for determining whether a patient’s condition requires care beyond the capability of the clinic and initiates the transfer of a patient to a referral facility for further treatment. (paragraph 2)
