 Procedure in event of an asthma attack

1. Sit Child up straight - Keep calm. CALL THE SCHOOL NURSE       IMMEDIATELY! Extension 431 

2. Assist them to take one puff of the reliever inhaler (usually blue) every 30-60 seconds up to 10 puffs. Ask someone to collect the Asthma response kit.

3. If there is no improvement in their breathing, they don’t feel better and they look pale, call 999 for an ambulance. Give Location on site, and Postcode GU28 ONB

4. If after 10 minutes the symptoms are not improving, repeat step 2. Make sure you have access to the emergency Asthma response kit.

5. If your symptoms are no better after repeating step 2, and the ambulance has still not arrived, contact 999 again immediately!  After 22.00 pm the emergency crews need a key code to enter the premises.
