Response to Cardiac Arrest and Selected Life-Threatening Medical Emergencies: The Medical Emergency Response Plan for Schools
Life-threatening emergencies can happen in any school at any time. These emergencies can result from pre-existing health problems, violence, unintentional injuries, natural disasters and toxins. In the same way that schools plan for tornadoes or fires, school leaders should have an emergency response plan to deal with life-threatening medical emergencies. MERPS encourages every school to develop a program that reduces the incidence of life-threatening emergencies, and maximizes the chances of intact survival from an emergency. Such a program will have the potential to save the greatest number of lives, with the most efficient use of school equipment and personnel. Want to know more?
