Medical Emergencies Plan at Mirador San José

At the Mirador San Jose, we want medical emergency rescue to be as quick and reliable as possible.

As we are geographically located 45 minutes by car to the hospital, emergency situations may be processed too slowly. This fundraiser is therefore intended to give us tools to address these emergencies more quickly by allowing our residents rescuers and volunteer drivers of emergencies to act with greater autonomy.

These emergencies include:

• the sectioning of
  • a brachial artery or carotid
  • a vein or femoral artery
  • a jugular vein
• cardiac arrest
• crisis of allergy, diabetes, asthma
• a cervical fracture
• a choking
• bites of snakes and scorpions
• and any other trauma requiring quick and immediate hospitalization.

We need to get:

• first aid kits
• a cervical collar
• a body transportation board
• a stretcher
• defibrillators and replacement batteries and electrodes
• tourniquets
