Development of a first aid plan should be done in consultation with appropriately trained medical personnel. To facilitate proper and timely first aid treatment, it can be useful to arrange in advance and have available medical receiving facilities and names of physicians (backup as well as primary) trained in HF emergency treatment.
It is noted that specific first aid procedures may vary based on fact-specific circumstances, recommendations of trained medical personnel, and other factors. Another useful component of a first aid program can be to develop exposure route flowcharts.
