FOREWORDThe Fire Safety Handbook has been developed to provide NYU MedicalCenter Personnel with a plan of action in the event of a fire emergency.The procedures outlined in this handbook have been formulated to protectlife and minimize property loss. However, an action plan is only as effec-tive as the people who carry out the procedures. The actions taken duringthe first few minutes of a fire are crucial in averting serious disaster.Therefore, all Medical Center employees are encouraged to review themanual and to become familiar with the fire plan appropriate to theirwork area. In addition, employees are asked to actively participate in firedrills, recognize fire hazards, remove such hazards whenever possible andreport them to their supervisors when necessary.

INTRODUCCIONEl Fire Safety Handbook se ha elaborado para proporcionar al personaldel NYU Medical Center un plan de acción para los casos de emergenciade incendio. Los procedimientos que se esbozan en este folleto se han for-mulado para proteger las vidas y reducir al mínimo las perdidas materi-ales. Sin embargo, ningún plan de acción puede ser más eficaz que las per-sonas que hayan aplicarlo. Las medidas tomadas durante los primerosminutos de un incendio son vitales para evitar un desastre grave. Por lotanto, se exhorta a todos los empleados del Medical Center a examinar elmanual y familiarizarse con el plan correspondiente a su zona. Además, sesolicita que los empleados participen activamente en las prácticas de luchacontra incendios, aprendan a reconocer los peligros de incendio, los elimi-nen siempre que sea posible y los anuncien a sus supervisores cuando seanecesario.

FIRE ALARM POLICYIt is the policy of the Medical Center that upon discovery of smoke or fire,the fire alarm is to be pulled. Because of the potential for underestimat-ing the seriousness of a fire condition, there are no exceptions to this pol-icy.

When the fire alarm sounds, every employee is expected to implement fireprotocol appropriate to his or her work area. There is no code to indicateif an alarm signifies a drill or real fire. Therefore, every alarm should betreated as a potentially serious fire.

NORMA SOBRE ALARMAS DE INCENDIOEs la norma del Medical Center que, cada vez que se descubra humofuego, se accióne la alarma de incendio. Como existe el peligro de que sesubestime la gravedad de una situación, no se admiten exceptiones a estanorma.

Cuando suene la alarma de incendio, todos los empleados deben aplica lasnormas de incendio adecuadas según su zona de trabajo. No exist ningúncódigo para anunciar si la alarma se refiere a una práctica o a un incen-dio real, por lo cual todas las alarmas deben tomarse como si fuesen incen-dios graves.

PATIENT EVACUATION PROCEDUREPatient evacuation in a hospital is determined by the proximity andseverity of the fire or smoke condition. The following steps provide basicguidelines for relocating patients. However, the fire condition will ulti-mately determine the extent of the patient relocation.• Step 1

Patients in immediate danger should be moved first.• Step 2

Horizontal movement—move patients laterally on the floor to the otherside of the fire doors.

• Step 3Vertical movement—ambulatory patients should be led down the stairsand relocated to a safe area at least two (2) floors below the fire loca-tion when possible. Non-ambulatory patients should be transported byelevator only on the orders of the NYC Fire Department. Patientsshould be relocated to two (2) floors below the fire location when possi-ble. Elevators being used for relocation purposes should not travel pastthe fire location if at all possible.

• Step 4If necessary Tisch Hospital cafeteria or Alumni Hall can be utilized aspatient holding areas. Evacuation out of the building should be a lastresort. Follow the instruction in the NYUMC Emergency EvacuationPlan.

PROCEDIMIENTO PARA LA EVACUACION DE PACIENTESLa evacuación de los pacientes de un hospital se determina según la prox-imidad y gravedad del fuego o del humo. Las etapas siguientes ofrecendirectivas para la reubicación de pacientes. Sin embargo, el alcance de lareubicación de los pacientes se determinará en última instancia por lascaracterísticas del fuego.• Etapa 1

Los pacientes en peligro inminente deben ser reubicados primero.• Etapa 2

Movimiento horizontal; desplácese a los pacientes lateralmente en pisoal otro lado de las puertas de incendio.

• Etapa 3Movimiento vertical: Los pacientes en condiciones de caminar debenser conducidos hacia abajo por las escaleras y reubicados a una zonasegura que esté por lo menos dos (2) pisos por debajo del lugar del fuego,siempre que sea posible. Los pacientes que no estén en condiciones decaminar deben ser transportados en ascensor únicamente si ascensorno se encuentra en peligro inmediato de fuego y está accionado conllave. Los pacientes deben ser reubicados a por lo menos dos (2) pisospor debajo del lugar del fuego siempre que sea posible. Los ascensoresque se utilicen para fines de reubicación no deben pasar por el nivel enque se produce el fuego siempre que sea posible evitarlo.

• Etapa 4En caso de necesidad, pueden utilizarse como zonas de concentración depacientes la cafetería del Hospital Universitario y la Sala de Graduados(Alumni Hall). Debe efectuarse la evacuación fuera del edificio comoúltimo recurso.

EMERGENCY PATIENT REMOVAL CARRIESPatients in immediate danger of fire or smoke must be moved to a safearea as quickly as possible. Removal of patients by bed or mattress is atime consuming and cumbersome process and often impossible.Therefore, it is recommended that patient removal carries be implement-ed as a time-saving and thus life-saving technique to evacuate patients.The following carries have been selected on the basis of their lifting andcarrying advantages.

When utilizing the carries remember patients should be hugged firmly tothe carrier’s body. The carrier should use his or her own body and thepatient’s body to support the latter’s weight. These emergency patientremoval carries, if executed properly, distribute a patient’s weight over allthe carrier’s body, rather than concentrating it on his or her hands andarms alone.

SIDE-BY-SIDE ASSISTGood for patients needing limited assistance.

Assist the patient to a standing position.Grasp the patient’s wrist closest to youwith your hand.

30

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


Bring the patient’s hand aroundyour neck, and pull it downfirmly over your shoulder. Withyour other arm go around theback and slide your hand downthe inner side of the patient’sarm until you reach the wrist.Grasp the arm or wrist and bringit in firmly to the waist area.

Now by pulling down the arm, pulling inon the waist, and putting your hip towardthe patient, you could if necessary liftthe patient off the floor. Do not givethe patient any more help than is needed.

31

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


SWING CARRYThe swing carry is good for evacuating any weight patient, and moving apatient down a stairway. The swing carry utilizes a cradle of interlockedarms and wrists and is useful for moving heavy patients long distances.

If you are the first rescuer, stand with thefeet together, and slip your arm closest to the

head of the bed under the patient's neck,grasping the far shoulder. Then place your

other hand on the patient's closest upperarm, and grip it. Turn your feet parallel tothe bed, facing the foot of the bed. As you

raise the patient to an upright position, takeone step forward with the foot farthest from

the bed. This move utilizes the full body, andyou gain additional leverage if

you push your shoulder against the patient's shoulder once the patient is in motion. If you are the second

rescuer, approach from the same side of the bed, and wait until thepatient is in a sitting position. Then grasp both ankles and swing the

patient's feet off the bed.

Both rescuers then stand on each side of thepatient. If you are the rescuer on thepatient's right, grasp the patient's right wristwith your right hand, and put the armaround your neck and down across yourchest. The rescuer on the patient's left doesthe same with the left hand and the patient'sleft arm. At the same time, each rescuerreaches across the patient's back with thefree hand and places it on the other rescuer'sshoulder. With the arm used to pull thepatient's arm around their

necks, both rescuers then reach under the patient's knees. The rescueron the patient's right reaches palm down, the other palm up. As handsmeet, they grasp wrists and lock hands together.

32

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


Push toward the patient and up with yourshoulder to remove the patient from the bed.

Weight makes little difference becausethe patient hangs like a pendulum

between the rescuers' shoulders,squeezed tightly between them.

Their feet should be parallelas they walk.

To unload the patient in a safe area, drop downon the knee closest to the patient, keeping yourback straight to prevent straining the back.While leaning against the patient, the rescuersshould place the patient's buttocks on the floor.

The second rescuer releases the patientand returns to the danger area, while the

first eases the patient to the floor.Remember to protect the head.

33

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


PACKSTRAP CARRYGood for broken legs, cerebrovascular injuries, narrow or burning door-ways and obstructed areas.

Face the patient with your back toward the footof the bed, and grasp the patient's closest wrist

in your closest hand, palm down. Raising thiswrist slightly, grasp the other wrist with yourother hand. Cross the patient's arms, holding

onto both wrists. Take one step backwards withyour foot closest to the bed, and pull the patient

to a sitting position.

Raising the patient's top wrist, slip yourselfbeneath his arms. Place your back squarelyagainst the patient's chest with your shoulderslower than his armpits, pull his arms over yourshoulders, and cross them on your chest.Pulling on his arms, lean slightly forward,bending only your shoulders.

34

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


Turn both your body and feet sharply towardthe head of the bed, lean against the bed for

support, and take one or two steps. It is not nec-essary to lift the patient. Your forward momen-

tum will roll the patient onto your back withoutshock.

To unload in a safe area, place the patient'sshoulder against the wall. Lean against thewall, and drop on your knee closest to the wall.

With your knee four inches from the wall, youcan ease the patient to the floor by releasing his

arm farthest from the wall and letting him rolloff your shoulder and hip. The patient will be

held securely between your body and the wall.Always be sure to protect the head.

35

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


FOUR-RESCUER OR BLANKET CARRY Good for patients with spinal problems, traction patients, recent surgeryand special medical problems. If four rescuers are available for carrying,the tallest should be Number One, the next tallest Number Two, and soon. Number Four spreads a blanket perpendicular to the foot of the bed,steps on the blanket's center, and guides and assists in the placement ofthe patient in the middle of the blanket.

Number One: Face the patient perpendicularlyat the head of the bed. Put one arm, with handpalm up, beneath the patient's neck and theother, palm up, beneath the upper back.Number Two: Put both arms, with hands palmup, under the patient just above and below thebuttocks.

Number Three: Put both arms, with hands palm up, under the patientjust above the knees and between the knees and ankles. After all threeare positioned, make a three-step, non-stop movement to raise thepatient. Once the motion is started, it is easier to complete it withoutstopping than to pause between steps.

Step One: Pull the patient to the bedside.Step Two: Without hesitating, lift the patient.Step Three: Roll the patient onto your chests,with your arms up and backs arched slightly.Number Two and Three rescuers rotate(Number One turning only slightly), lining upparallel with Number Two and Number Fouropposite each other.

36

NYU MEDICAL CENTER


Number One, Two and Three roll the patientout toward Number Four's arms, and all drop

down on one knee and place the patient length-wise along the blanket's center. Number Four

makes sure the patient is centered.

After putting the patient on the blanket, the rescuers should stationthemselves kneeling two to a side. Numbers One and Four place one handnext to the patient's neck (to prevent the head from flopping

over the blanket when lifted) and the otherhand at the patient's elbow. Numbers Twoand Three divide up the rest of the bodyweight by placing their hands to makelifting easy. With thumbs under theblanket's edges and knuckles on top,the rescuers push in, gathering the blanketin their hands until their knuckles touchthe patient. Number One says, "Rise," andall stand up, keeping backs and armsstraight.

Remove the patient from the danger area, car-rying at arm's length. When a safe area is

reached, drop to one knee, and lower thepatient gently feet first to the floor.

This carry takes considerable coordination,teamwork, and practice. It also can be usedwith six rescuers or with three to place the

patient on a surgical cart. Never use a sheet inplace of a blanket for the blanket carry.

A sheet normally will not support a patient'sweight, but will rip and drop the patient

onto the floor.

FIRE ALARM CODESThe fire alarm bells ring in a sequence of three (3) or four (4) sets of bellswith the sequence sounding three (3) times. To decipher the signal, countthe number of bells in each set. Next, check a station number card postedin the corridor to determine the location of the alarm.

The bells are only an indicator of the approximate fire location and notnecessarily the exact location of the fire. The location announced by theoperator is the location of the fire alarm sounded and not necessarily theexact location of the fire.

CODIGO DE ALARMA DE INCENDIOEl timbre de alarma de incendio suena en una secuencia de tres (3) seriesde toques, efectuándose la secuencia tres (3) veces. Para descifrar la señal,cuente el número de toques en cada serie. Luego, consulte inmediata-mente a una tarjeta de número de estación colocada en el corredor paradeterminar el local de la alarma.

Los toques de timbre son sólo un indicador del lugar cerca del fuego, y nodan necesariamente su lugar preciso. El lugar anunciado por la operado-ra corresponde a la alarma que se ha accionado, y no necesariamente allugar exacto del fuego.
