Programming and Medical Standby Services
蘑菇短视频EMS offers medical standby services at all on-campus events. Medical Standby Services may include an ambulance, quick response vehicle or a standby team comprised of North Carolina Emergency Medical Technicians.
Medical Standby Services
Event standby coverage will normally be provided for on-campus university-sponsored or approved events only. Other event standbys must be approved by the EMS Supervisor or Health Services Director. Typical events that require medical standby services include concerts, marathons, athletic events, large student organization or club events, as well as any other events with a large number of attendees.
蘑菇短视频EMS will make every effort to cover standby requests with at least one North Carolina Certified Emergency Medical Technician. After a standby request is submitted, the EMS officers will determine the level of staffing that the event requires. Staffing for an event may include an ambulance, quick response vehicle, and/or a standby team comprised of two EMT's. In the event that an ambulance is not assigned to an event, the standby team can request one to respond. EMS personnel or ambulances standing by at an event will be subject to leave for emergency calls at any time. Please provide as much information about the event as possible, inlcuding the anticipated number of attendees. The person requesting the standby will be notified by e-mail or phone if the standby request is approved. Ambulance coverage at standby events will be provided based on availability of personnel and the order in which the request is received.
Because the first responsibility of 蘑菇短视频EMS is to respond to campus emergencies, dedicated coverage by a staffed ambulance cannot be guaranteed at any event and the ambulance may be called away from a standby to respond to an emergency call at any time. In the event that this happens, 蘑菇短视频EMS will make an attempt to return to the event after other calls for service have been answered.
