医疗

In medical emergencies, the University of Dallas Police Department should be notified immediately at (972) (265-5911). 的 caller should identify the nature of the emergency and the location of the student needing assistance.

If immediate medical treatment is required, the dispatcher in the University of Dallas Police Department will call the paramedics by dialing 911. While the paramedics are enroute (less than two miles from campus), the dispatcher will send a UDPD officer to assist the student and administer first aid, if appropriate. Another UDPD officer will assist the paramedics by directing them to the location of the student experiencing the medical emergency.

After calling the paramedics, the dispatcher will notify the Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs.

的 caller reporting the medical emergency should remain with the person needing medical assistance until the UDPD officer and paramedics arrive. 的 paramedics will assess the emergency and administer medical treatment. 的 paramedics will determine if it is necessary to transport the student to a hospital room for further treatment. In most cases, the paramedics transport to the nearest hospital, which is Irving ​​​​​Baylor Scott & White 医疗 Center (less than three miles from campus).

University of Dallas Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Program

Sudden cardiac arrest is documented as being the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming approximately 350,000 lives each year. 95 % of people who suffer a heart attack in the workplace do not survive. But did you know that defibrillation within three minutes of the onset of a heart attack results in 30-70% survival rates?

AED machines, housed in plastic cases the size of a large purse, can be used to monitor a person's heartbeat and determine if the heart's rhythm is normal. Defibrillators can also deliver life-saving electric shocks to restart the heart or correct an irregular heartbeat. AEDs are designed to be used by non-medical personnel, so cardiac arrest victims don't have to wait for emergency crews to arrive to receive potentially life-saving treatment.

Here's what to do if someone is unconscious/unresponsive:

拨打5911. Contact the University of Dallas Police Department. Check for breathing. If the victim is not breathing, initiate Rescue Breathing: gently tilt the head back to open the airway; watch chest and listen for air from mouth. If not yet breathing, pinch the nose and give 2 slow, full breaths. Watch the chest rise and fall during each breath. Breathe into the victim's mouth once every 5 seconds until emergency personnel arrive. Check for a pulse by gently pressing to the side of the victim's 喉咙. If no pulse, open the AED, turn it on and simply follow the verbal directions, administer CPR as required. If you don't know CPR, continue with Rescue Breathing.

的 University of Dallas utilizes the ZOLL AED Plus. AEDs are permanently located in the University of Dallas Police Department in Haggar, on the 1st floor of the Gym, in Gupta College of Business building and on the wall outside the public restrooms in the Church of the Incarnation. An AED is kept in the UDPD patrol car at all times. In addition, the 体育运动 Department has two AED units that are designated to be on site at all athletic events.

火

Should a student discover a fire or smoke in one of the university buildings, the following procedure should be used:

Ring the building fire alarm. Shout "火" loudly to alert anyone else who may be in the building. Immediately notify the University of Dallas Police Department and report the location of the fire: building, floor, area and intensity. 的 University of Dallas Police Department will report the fire to the Irving 火 Department. 的 Residential Life Staff will instruct all occupants of the building to evacuate immediately. Residents must evacuate immediately. Residents must evacuate to the designated area and immediately check in with the Residential Life Staff. No one may return to the building until an official "all clear" notice. 的 fighting of the fire is the responsibility of university personnel and the Irving 火 Department.

的 staff of each residence hall is expected to explain all emergency and evacuation procedures to all residents. This should be done at the beginning of each semester.

Severe Storm/Tornado

In North Texas, severe weather can happen anywhere, at any time, and often occur when it is least expected. When a weather crisis does occur, events usually unfold rapidly, leaving little time for planning.  When the potential for these threats exists, 的 University of Dallas Police will monitor appropriate information sources (e.g. 的 Weather Channel, Internet weather sites, local TV stations, National Weather 服务) to ensure awareness of potential threats.  

In the event of a tornado, the City of Irving will sound sirens throughout the city. 的 University, however, does not solely rely upon this 系统 for notification of the university community. When certain there are tornados in the University's vicinity, the University of Dallas Police Department will execute the emergency notification 系统.

During the state of weather emergency, persons on campus should move to the inner core of the building away from window areas, or to the basement area if one exists in the building where they are located. Persons should remain in the designated area inside the building until the storm has passed and an "all clear" signal has been 发布. Never try to "outrun" an approaching storm in your automobile.

的 University utilizes an emergency notification 系统 that sends voicemails, text messages and e-mails to students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency.

Log on to BannerWeb and click “My Profile” to provide or update your cell phone and other vital emergency contact information.

的 notification 系统 is only as useful as the contact information people provide. It is especially important to register cell phone numbers so University officials can reach faculty and staff wherever they may be located.
