By protocol EMS handles everything outside the walls of the hospital. We might try to respond but it is not the standard nor the protocol. Our ED personnel are not trained nor equipped for proper field response.

Dear friends,
I would like to know your protocols for trauma response for incidents occurring within the hospital,  i.e in the parking lot, suicide attempt (like jumping off the roof of the hospital) etc. Not for ER or ward patients. Who is responding, from where they get the equipment, do they also do the rescue if needed?
Thanks,
Gadi
