So this is a pretty common topic thread as there are no consistent "hand signals" in sports medicine.
"What HAND SIGNALS do you use for on-field emergencies?"
Feel free to take and share selfies of the hand signals, upload a document, etc.!

Outside of the signs you use, have you seen other hand signals used when you are traveling as a visiting team?
Hand on top of head for spine board
Across chest in x for splint bag and AED
I've always been a fan of adapting and re-using a wheel rather than recreating one, so I've always used the signals they used at my undergrad, Azusa Pacific University!
Those hand signals are:
Flat hand with thumb against forehead - I need a shark to cut something off
One straight arm with other hand on the elbow - Bring the splint bag
One hand wrapped around a fist - Get an ice bag ready
Arms held straight out to the sides - Bring the spineboard
Hold up 2 fingers - I need two big players to help carry the player to the sideline
Two fists in circle motions against each other (like old school rubbing AED paddles together) - Bring the AED
Tap the top of the head with a hand - Get/Call the ambulance
What did/do they use at LSU?
