The first chapter explains how office staff including receptionists can identify an emergency. The second chapter discusses contacting regular EMSC services. The third chapter has some mock codes to run in the office. The fourth chapter is protocols for office emergencies. The fifth chapter discusses teaching families to handle emergencies at home until help arrives. The last sections of the manual have an office equipment list, an office medications list, a mock code log form, emergency drug doses, and a mock code evaluation form.
