Steps to care for a suspected spinal rescue by the lifeguards
Primary: identify possible spinal injury, clear the pool slowly with 2 long whistles and ‘X’ over LG’s head, ease in entry, approach guest and place in underarm vise grip, switch grip to overarm vise grip once backboard arrives, maintain SMR and communication with guest, apply head blocks. Secondary: brings in backboard, sinks board under GiD and applies straps (chest, hips, thighs), takes over SMR with squeeze play. Both: remove from pool once secured to backboard. Communicate who had SMR the entire time. Communicate with the GiD
What are the responsibilities of additional responders who are not involved in BLS during a major emergency?
call 911, get the go bag to the scene, crowd control, ensuring EMS has a clear path to the GiD
Steps we would take if there was a missing child?
Immediately let a manager know, have someone stay with the guardian to reassure them, all available staff start searching the facility, bottom of pool is scanned immediately, check ALL rooms. If not found in the first sweep, music is stopped and an announcement is made that we have a missing child with a brief description of their appearance. Service at FD will be halted so more people can search & 911 will be called)
