7 TEST What can you describe and demonstrate? Location of fire alarms? Extinguishers? Response actions? Evacuation routes? Fire doors to close? Smoke protection? Where to gather? Communications? Community emergency response? Patient and Caregiver What You Need to Know In the Home: Fire Deaths The U.S. Fire Administration of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) reported in 2009 that the two leading causes for fire deaths in residential units (homes, apartments) are: Unintentional, carelessness (often, cooking) Smoking 7
8 Know Hazards: Higher Risks for Elderly Risk of dying in a fire 2.5 times higher for an older person than a younger person Usually while asleep in bed Often, extensive related injuries, with poorer abilities to recover Is a patient s smoking a quality of life issue? Know: Oxygen = Extreme Hospice Hazard What percentage of your hospice patients use oxygen equipment? You need to know that Oxygen -- while not flammable itself -- supports combustion. Most fires need oxygen to keep burning. Remove the oxygen source and most fires will go out. Oxygen therapy provides a patient with a higher concentration of oxygen (40% to 100%) than the air we naturally breathe (20% oxygen). 8
9 Know: Oxygen = Extreme Hospice Hazard What percentage of your hospice patients use oxygen equipment? You need to know that Extreme fire hazards with oxygen equipment: Materials ignite easier, burn faster, burn at a higher intensity Grasp: Why it matters for hospice patients and caregivers! Older generations smoking habits Patients confusion and reflexes Caregiver s intense, long vigils Caregiver s early dementia Extreme vulnerability Grasp: Why it matters for hospice patients and caregivers! Accumulated things, fire hazards, poor ambulation Emergency numbers? Fire extinguishers? Hospice equipment and resulting clutter Oxygen machines in unsupervised settings Overloaded electrical outlets Extreme vulnerability 9
