5 Misconceptions about Med Emerg The Five Deadly Misconceptions A medical emergency will not happen to me. A medical emergency will not happen in my office. Calling EMS/9-1-1 is the answer. My staff and I will not panic during a medical emergency. CPR is all we need to know

6 IMEP - Six Links of Survival The average response time for medical emergency services (EMS) to respond to a 911 call can be 11 minutes in an urban setting and 15 minutes in a rural setting.

7 IMEP - Six Links of Survival The average response time for medical emergency services (EMS) to respond to a 911 call can be 11 minutes in an urban setting and 15 minutes in a rural setting. 1. Doctor training 2. Staff training 3. Medical emergency plan 4. Emergency drug kit 5. Proper equipment 6. Mock drills
