The Marshall University EMS Mass Gathering EMS Coverage Plan has been developed to provide prompt, professional medical coverage to spectators, participants, players and staff at large gatherings of people on the MU campus for special events, such as football games and Special Olympics. As such, we must minimize the time it takes to get the patient to the safe area. All ALS procedures will be done in the safe area. Extrication to the safe area will be completed as quickly and as safely as possible. Only Lifesaving interventions will delay the extrication.
Supervisors are to refrain from rendering direct patient care unless the situation calls for it.
The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the time standards and treatment protocols above are adhered to. These standards have proven themselves time and again. The call path at the MU Stadium has been defined to a high level of confidence. The protocols outlined above have served us well in the past and continue to serve well today. We have developed this system over the course of several years and have had great luck with it.
