EMS Training Video for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

****************************************­****
Did you know? In the majority of states, EMS protocols do not address the issue of adrenal insufficiency, nor do they allow emergency medical response to personnel to provide immediate, appropriate treatment in case of adrenal crisis, even when affect individuals have:

- medical ID indicating "adrenal insufficiency";
- doctor's orders that detail medical treatment protocols for adrenal crisis;
-properly labeled medications

CARES Foundation is looking to change this through our EMS campaign.
