The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), in addition to other federal, state,
and local partners, aim to increase understanding of Ebola and encourage
U.S.-based EMS agencies and systems to prepare for managing patients with
Ebola and other infectious diseases. Every EMS agency and system,
including those that provide non-emergency and/or inter-facility
transport, should ensure that their personnel can detect a person under
investigation (PUI) for Ebola, protect themselves so they can safely care
for the patient, and respond in a coordinated fashion. Many of the signs
and symptoms of Ebola are non-specific and similar to those of other
common infectious diseases such as malaria, which is commonly seen in West
Africa. Transmission of Ebola can be prevented by using appropriate
infection control measures.
.
This checklist is intended to enhance collective preparedness and response
by highlighting key areas for EMS personnel to review in preparation for
encountering and providing medical care to a person with Ebola. The
checklist provides practical and specific suggestions to ensure the agency
is able to help its personnel detect possible Ebola cases, protect those
personnel, and respond appropriately.
.
Now is the time to prepare, as it is possible that individuals infected
with Ebola virus in West Africa may travel to the U.S., develop signs or
symptoms of Ebola , and seek medical care from EMS personnel. EMS
agencies, in conjunction with their medical directors, should review
infection control policies and procedures and incorporate plans for
administrative, environmental, and communication measures.
.
The checklist format is not intended to set forth mandatory requirements
or establish national standards. It is a list of activities that can help
each agency prepare. Each agency is different and should adapt this
document to meet its specific needs. In this checklist, EMS personnel
refers to all persons, paid and volunteer who provide pre-hospital
emergency medical services and have the potential for direct contact
exposure (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with an Ebola patient's
blood or body fluids, contaminated medical supplies and equipment, or
contaminated environmental surfaces.
