Description

Unlike any other book in the field, EMS for Correctional and Secured Facilities is designed to address the unique circumstances surrounding the treatment of medical emergencies and trauma-related incidents within a correctional or other secure facility. When seconds count, and EMS personnel must wait for security clearance to enter into such a facility, it is important that facility staff have the ability to respond to medical emergencies until more advanced EMS personnel can assume response. Responding to this need, this book demonstrates CPR, AED, and methods for approaching offenders and correctional employees in need of medical assistance. Its comprehensive coverage spans a range of important topics, such as incident command systems, victim assessments within a secured facility, cardiac/breathing emergencies, bandaging and immobilization, drug reactions, psychiatric emergencies, and transportation considerations. Addressing all of the most common medical emergencies, this is the ideal resource for corrections or law enforcement officers tasked with the care and safety of offenders in their custody.
