目的：研究公立学校在农村state.Method应急准备：问卷邮寄到学校护士注册与国家教育部。收集的数据包括学校护士和工作人员的培训，学校的位置，可用的应急设备，和紧急医疗服务（EMS）access.Results：72%的调查后返回一个或两个邮件。他们报告说，学校护士和学校工作人员几乎没有接受过紧急培训。可用的急救设备差别很大：氧气20%，人工气道30%，颈托22%，夹板69%。人口少于20万的社区更有可能获得设备。67%的学校每年为学生激活EMS，37%的学校为成年人激活EMS。百分之八十四的学校有一个不到10分钟的EMS响应time.Conclusions：EMS激活到学校是一种常见的情况。学校没有准备好照顾学生或工作人员的这种敏锐性，这是通过设备和紧急培训来评估的。然而，较小社区的学校对紧急情况有更好的准备。
Objective: To study emergency preparedness in public schools in a rural state.Method: Questionnaires were mailed to school nurses registered with the State Department of Education. Data collected included school nurse and staff training, school location, emergency equipment available, and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) access.Results: Seventy-two percent of the surveys were returned after one or two mailings. They report little emergency training for both school nurses and school staff. Emergency equipment available varies widely: oxygen 20%, artificial airways 30%, cervical collars 22%, splints 69%. Equipment was more likely to be available in communities with populations of less than 200,000. Sixty-seven percent of schools activate EMS for a student and 37% for an adult annually. Eighty-four percent of schools have a less than 10-minute EMS response time.Conclusions: EMS activation to schools is a common occurrence. Schools are ill prepared to care for this acuity of student or staff as assessed by equipment and emergency training. Schools in smaller communities, however, are better prepared for emergencies.
