    Study Notes

    Handling Medical Emergencies as a Security Guard

    • Accurate documentation is valuable for medical assessment and legal proceedings
    • Under no circumstances should security guards administer medications to individuals in distress
    • Security guards should monitor the person's vital signs and general condition and relay any changes to medical professionals
    • Cooperation with first responders, medical professionals, and law enforcement is crucial in handling medical emergencies
    • Security guards' role is to maintain a safe environment, initiate medical assistance, and communicate effectively until medical professionals or law enforcement take over
    • Proper training and adherence to established protocols are essential for handling medical emergencies
    • Position: A shopping mall in a busy urban area
    • Security guard: John, an experienced security guard
    • Description: John responds to a disturbance and encounters a disheveled, erratic man, Michael
    • Actions taken by the security guard: assessment, communication, de-escalation, safety measures, communication with medical professionals, and environment safety
    • Outcome: Medical professionals arrive and take over Michael's care, ensuring his safety, and John provides a detailed account to law enforcement and medical personnel
    • Positional asphyxia is a critical situation that requires immediate action by security guards to prevent life-threatening outcomes. It occurs when an individual's body position restricts their ability to breathe adequately, potentially leading to suffocation. Security guards should recognize the signs, call for immediate assistance, maintain verbal communication, remove restrictive items or pressure, loosen clothing, monitor vital signs, position the person prone, and apply CPR and first aid skills if necessary.
