Emergency Medical Services ( Emergency Care )

An extended care paramedic are experienced clinical practitioners that specialise in patient assessment and a deliverance of quality care. Extended care paramedics treat mainly low to medium acute patients in a variety of community and clinical settings. ("Department of Health | Boosting Productivity", 2017. Their role is primarily to treat those in low need of care to take the strain off high running facilities such as hospitals and first responders. Extended care paramedics are most beneficial to those living independently and also those in aged care facilities. ECPs provide alternate care pathways for patients and assist in reducing unnecessary transport to hospital. Attendance by an ECP reduces the disruption to

Paramedics are emergency medical technicians more commonly known as EMT’s. EMT’s provide emergency treatment for the ill or injured on a scene and during en route to a medical facility. EMT’s are called upon at all hours of the day or night; typically the first medical specialist that a patient will call upon in an emergency. Paramedics are trained to provide lifesaving pre-hospital care in emergency situations. The range of medical services varies according to the level of training and/or certification.

S (situation): Hi, my name Kelsey and I am a nurse in the emergency department. I am calling about Shannon O’Reilly’s most recent laboratory results.

Paramedic is the highest level and requires 1,300 hours of training plus an additional 500 hours of field training. Training usually takes place at a community college and takes approximately two years to complete. Paramedics perform all the functions that the EMT-Basic and Intermediate perform but they are certified in advanced lifesaving procedures such as tracheal intubation and I.V. support. They are also trained how to read EKG’s and in the use of a cardiac defibrillator. The paramedic also performs clearing a patient’s airway and performing an emergency tracheotomy. They also administer antidotes in cases of poisoning or drug overdose

Paramedics have very important jobs. They are one of the first to respond to 911 calls. They evaluate the patient’s state and provide the necessary treatment. Paramedics

Tactical medicine is an important part of the EMS system because of the many violent scenes ems personnel respond on. Tactical EMS members would be used in more of and active shooter situation where there is still a definite hot zone and a threat to first responders and civilians. There is a statistic from the FBI that states that 1 out of 10 officers are assaulted in their career.

Paramedics in term are classified as street doctors (Legal ones). They have a great understanding of situations that occur traumatically and diagnostically. Without doctors treating injuries on the go there would be an incredibly high death rate. Even though schooling for medics isn’t that long, the information that is learned is enough to treat the patient in a pre-hospital care environment. Training for medical scenarios is a daily routine that medics run against to prepare for real events, such as triaging (Order of who needs treatment right away) patients when there is a mass causality. A medic’s most important tool to treat injured patients is their equipment. There is variety of

Emergency medical technicians are licensed and/or certified health-care providers that are out-of-hospital. They immediately respond to the scene of an emergency, assess the safety hazards of the scene, and transport patients to institutions. (Beck, 2013) An emergency medical technician-paramedic takes on the additional tasks of giving medication and using various complex equipment. The competence and hasty reactions of EMTs can save the lives of patients and get them to the emergency room physician. Although education differs state to state, every emergency medical technician-paramedic must receive a high school diploma or GED and become certified for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). (“Emts and paramedics,” 2014) They must also

Mr.Gary, a Paramedic yesterday came and talked to us about what paramedics or EMS do in their line of career. Starting off there are 3 levels of EMT: Basic EMT, Advanced EMT, and Paramedic. To be an EMT you can go through state training to become a certified EMT or go through a college and become a licensed EMT; along with this is 220 class & lab hours(class can be online or live class.)

"You are truly benefit from the content you are studying, you may have to learn at a higher level than the mode of teaching in a class requires of you" ( Paul & Elder 2012,p.144). The purpose of my education is simple to prepare me for dealing with better educated individuals whether in an office or out in the field and compliment my twenty-five years of field experience. The quote I began my with is truly fitting for the degree which I am working towards in Emergency Services Medical Administration. This information that I learn from this class specifically will help me think before I speak and allow me to better focused not only on the situation but also the questions and answers that are constantly being asked. There are many questions

A level 3 emergency references to an incident that is concerning the people on campus, such as students or staff. This level of emergency has nothing to do with buildings or the campus itself, but involves situations concern an individual on the campus. These incidents include: bias acts towards students relating to a major crime, missing students, violent felonies towards a student, teacher or staff member, lock-down or lock-out, weapon related violence on campus, shooting on campus or active shooter present, a serious injury to a student, teacher or staff or possible suicide or death on campus. In such instances, the university officer in charge will direct to specific emergency management team members who be contacted by the public safety department and will be directed to report an emergency operations center on campus. The situation will be discussed at emergency operations center as soon as possible and a response action will be decided to solve the situation. Personally, I believe that contacting so many other authorities and departments is dragging the situation at a point where it might become dangerous. For example, there might be a moment where a decision must

Paramedics coordinate to other medical professionals to conduct several medical missions to help people who can’t afford medical care. They are also known in helping abused women and

Paramedic’s are important people because they are the ones that give medical care while away from the hospital. The need for paramedic’s started back in the 1970s. In a report said in 1965 more people were dying in accidents than in the Korean War. After President Richard Nixon reviewed the effect of of having pre-hospital medical care would help save lives in the event of an accident with needed medical care.

King County has an integrated education system that equips society with necessary knowledge, particularly the first aid cautionaries. Its inclusion in the curriculum of high school students of the King County ensures that the community at large is informed about how to respond to emergency situations (Eisenberg, Bergner & Hallstrom, 1979). With the knowledge gained from such training, the students became aware of what is expected of them in regards to offering first aid care to an emergency. This knowledge is passed to rest of community when students interact with them. This helps to reduce the number of deaths occurring from certain preventable incidences. It has also enabled EMS to achieve its mandate through the contribution

I always wanted to work in the emergency medical service (EMS) field and study to become a paramedic or an emergency medical technician (EMT). I enjoy helping others but this gives me an opportunity to help people that are injured or ill by accident and I will have to provide medical treatment immediately. I would have to have a high school diploma which I will receive while attending Woodstock Job Corps and it will be needed before training to become an emergency medical tech/ paramedic. There are three levels of training for those who want to work in this field, that is EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate and Paramedic. The basic level of emergency medical technician contains a patient assessment and emergency skills. The intermediate level consists of learning how to use airway devices, intravenous fluids and medications. Paramedics have advance training but I believe I would need an associate degree. That’s more the reason why I want to go to college and practice more in medical so I
