Are You Prepared?

If someone gets injured on/off the ice:

• Check for breathing
  1 person delegate another person to call 911 and another to get the Defibrillator.
• Start chest compressions (100 per minute for 2 minutes)
• Remove clothing in the chest area
• Put Defibrillator pads (1 on upper chest on R side and 1 on L ribcage under the L armpit)
• start the Defibrillator and follow its audible instructions until help arrives

Is it a head injury?

• if so, 1 person take charge and delegate to another person to call 911, and another to go get the Defibrillator (just in case)
• Keep your hands (palm in) on each side of head to minimize movement

Is there an injury to the body (major cut/bleeding)

• if so, 1 person take charge and delegate to another person to call 911,
• Get a towel and bound up and insert into the wound.
• Keep pressure on the would until help arrives.

If someone is lightheaded and/or has heart pain

• Sit or lay them down on their side
• 1 person delegate another person to call 911 and another to get the Defibrillator.
• Tell them to take deep breathes, in through nose, out through mouth

Choking?

Stand behind the victim and wrap your hands around the victim.  Form a fist with one hand and put your other hand over the fist and place at the solar plexis of the victim and pull fists IN and UP a few times to try to dislodge the obstruction.  Continue this until obstruction is dislodged.

If you are alone and it happens to you... find a chair with an extended arm and lean over and force the arm of the chair into your solar plexis in an upward movement repeatedly until obstruction is dislodged.
