What do I do in the event of a stroke in the dental office?

What do I do in the event of a stroke in the dental office?

make the patient lye down & ask some one call 911. Check his pockets if he has any emergency pills with him like nitro glysrin. Sprinkle water on his face to see if he has gone into syncope.Do the CPO.

Call 911 and their family.

*Edited to say there should be an 'Emergency Plan' set up in your office, so you'll know ahead of time who calls 911, who calls the patient's family, who gets the First Aid Kit, who gets the oxygen, the ambubag, etc...there's nothing worse than an office emergency and everyone is just standing around, staring at each other, not knowing what to do.

let's see.......911 ? ?

uh call 911...

but if u only knew the number for 911...?
lol jk

911 first then give the patient oxygen and raise their feet on a pillow or something that raises their feet higher than their heart.Have the patients medical history ready for the paramedics and someone outside to flag down the ambulance when they arrive and show them to the patient.Remain calm then get out of the paramedics way.
