| Medical Emergency
In the event of a serious injury or illness:
- Immediately dial 911 for assistance. Give your name, describe the nature and severity of the medical problem and the campus location of the victim. In case of minor injury or illness, provide first aid care. Only trained personnel should provide first aid treatment (i.e. first aid, CPR).
- Keep the victim still and comfortable.
- Ask the victim, “are you ok?” and “what is wrong?”
- Check breathing and give CPR if necessary.
- Control serious bleeding by direct pressure on the wound.
- Continue to assist the victim until help arrives.
- Look for emergency medical ID, question witness(es) and give all information to the paramedics.
The Butler University Police will make all the appropriate notifications, as well as all the proper telephones calls to the emergency agencies.
