17.5.1.5 When do you call 911?
Refusing water, vomiting, and changes in consciousness mean that the
victim's condition is getting worse. Call 911 (or emergency
services). If the victim vomits, stop giving fluids and position
the victim on the side. Watch for signals of breathing problems.
Keep the victim lying down and continue to cool the body any way you
can. If you have ice packs or cold packs, place them on each of the
victim's wrists, ankles, groin, armpit, and neck (a.k.a. pulse
points). Do NOT apply rubbing (isopropyl alcohol).
