Emergency Buttons
The buttons on the First Voice™ EID contains protocols for most major traumas
(over 30) resulting in ER visits or hospitalizations plus all minor first aid injuries.
Familiarize yourself with the emergency buttons and the different emergency
situations that the buttons address. To start the instructions over from the
beginning, press that Emergency button again. Pressing another Emergency
button at any time will override any instructions in progress.
1) Multiple Injury
This button is intended to help respond to a victim with multiple or unknown
injuries. First Voice™ will prompt you through a series of yes/no questions to
help assess, prioritize, and treat the injuries in the order of greatest urgency.
This is particularly helpful when only one responder is available on the scene of
a serious accident and there are numerous injuries.
2) Head/Neck/Spine
This button instructs you how to deal with suspected injuries to the head, neck,
or spine. The protocol emphasizes the necessity of maintaining the stability of
the head and neck while assessing or treating the victim.
3) CPR/Unconscious
This button walks you step by step through the ABCs (airway, breathing,
circulation) of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with protocols specifically
tailored for adults, children, and infants and for special conditions such as preg
-
nancy or obesity. The interactive instructions will guide you through assessing
and clearing the airway, rescue breathing, checking pulse and administering
compressions as needed based upon the interactive buttons pressed.
4) Breathing/Choking/Drowning
This button tells you how to assess and clear the airway of adults, children and
infants, when and how to help victims expel obstructions (including specific pro
-
tocols for pregnant or obese victims), and how to react to breathing emergen
-
cies caused by conditions such as allergic reactions, asthma and emphysema,
or resulting from a near-drowning incident.
5) Heart/Chest Pain/Stroke
This button helps you identify symptoms and provide appropriate response
during the crucial first minutes of a heart attack or stroke. The First Voice™
Handbook includes intake questionnaires that are specific to these medical
emergencies which help responders to gather vital background information
from the victim while waiting for advanced medical care to arrive.
6) Bleeding/Shock/Childbirth
Addressing everything from amputations and gunshot wounds to nosebleeds
