Chapter 5 Documentation Flashcards
What are the procedures when a company applies and turns on their AED at a Cardiac Resuscitation attempt?
- 1 When a CFR-D Company applies and turns on their AED during a cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt (10-37 Code 2), the original PCR (Part One) shall be immediately faxed (718-999-0119) and forwarded to the Office of Medical Affairs (OMA) on return to quarters.
- 1.1 A copy of the original PCR (Part one) shall be turned in to the CFR-D Depot along with the AED module upon completion of the assignment.
- 1.2 The AED module will be exchanged for a blank one and the CFR-D Depot will immediately forward the module and PCR copy directly to OMA. The serial number of the module shall be documented on the PCR.
- 1.3 If the CFR-D Company’s AED is not applied to a patient during a response to a cardiac arrest, the details of the incident and what prevented the application of the Company’s AED shall be indicated in the Comments section.
How do we make corrections on a PCR?
3.4 There are no check boxes on the PCR. Members shall press firmly and darken in all circles completely (●). To make corrections on the PCR, members shall place a single line through the word(s) to be omitted or corrected and write the accurate information above the word(s) to be corrected. When correcting a darkened circle, place a single line through the error and fill in the correct section. The initials of the member making the correction shall be placed above the single line.
Where do we document the members who responded to the EMS call on the PCR?
4.19 Crew – Members shall document the names and certification numbers of the CFR-D certified members who responded to the call and provided patient care. The name of the member in charge of the call shall be entered in the first box and the second CFR-D certified member’s name shall be entered in the second box (driver’s name). If the chauffeur does not provide patient care, do not enter his or her name on the PCR. If there are more than four CFR-D certified members on the call, list the additional names in the comment section. Circle the name of the member completing the PCR.
