The “Cool Aid” program, implemented by Thames Emergency Medical Services, provides a form in which people can record personal medical information that can help paramedics administer the proper treatment at the scene. The form is designed to be attached to the front of a kitchen refrigerator by means of a magnet. Coming with the form is a sticker to be placed on a front door or window to tell paramedics the information is available.
The "Cool Aid" form will help identify potential high-risk patients. It will include information on current medical conditions, past history, current medications, and allergies.
This will ensure accurate information in stressful situations, which will save time on the scene for paramedics and allow for quicker treatment.
