Activated EMS in first aid refers to the process of alerting emergency medical services when a medical emergency occurs. This typically involves calling 911 or the local emergency number to report the situation, providing critical information such as the location, nature of the emergency, and the condition of the patient. The term "activated" indicates that help is on the way, allowing first responders to prepare and respond quickly to the scene. It's a crucial step in ensuring timely medical intervention.
