Answer: Call 999 immediately and begin CPR with 30 compressions to 2 breaths, sending someone to fetch an AED

What is the 'golden hour' principle in emergency medical care?
Answer: The critical first hour after a traumatic injury during which emergency treatment most significantly affects survival outcomes
The 'golden hour' refers to the first 60 minutes after a severe traumatic injury. Prompt emergency treatment during this window significantly improves survival chances. This underscores why door supervisors must act quickly and call 999 without delay.
During a major incident, what does 'triage' mean?
Answer: A systematic process of prioritising casualties based on the severity of their condition to ensure the most effective use of medical resources
Triage is the systematic prioritisation of casualties by severity. It uses categories: immediate (red/P1), urgent (yellow/P2), delayed (green/P3), and deceased (black/P4). This ensures limited medical resources are directed where they can save the most lives.
What action should a door supervisor take if they discover a white powder substance during a suspected CBRN incident?

In a suspected CBRN incident, do not touch or disturb the substance. Evacuate the immediate area, isolate anyone who may have been exposed (they should not leave as they may spread contamination), and call 999 stating you suspect a CBRN incident.
What is the purpose of an emergency 'rendezvous point' (RVP)?

The RVP is a pre-agreed location where emergency services vehicles will arrive and be met by a designated person from the venue. This person provides critical information about the incident, building layout, access routes, and any hazards. It is different from the public assembly point.
