Ems Education

With assaults against first responders rising, there should be new training requirements necessary. Escape should always be the goal of the assaulted EMS practitioner. Training offers first responders the ability to learn proper responses to better stay away from a situation that will

Before doing research, I was unaware that there are a few types of EMTs. I thought that there were only EMTs and Paramedics. The names can differ by state, but the three types of EMTs are an EMT-Basic or an EMT, an EMT-Intermediate or Advanced EMT, and a Paramedic. All three levels are trained to handle respiratory, cardiac, and trauma emergencies. An EMT-Basic is the simplest of the three. The skills of an EMT-Basic include evaluating the patient’s condition and caring for the patient while on the scene of an emergency and while transporting them to a hospital. An EMT-Intermediate has all of the training of an EMT-Basic, with the addition of higher skills, like giving the patient some medicines or using IVs. Paramedics are able to offer more advanced treatment than both lower EMT levels. They have the qualifications to give the patient IV’s, medicines, and use complex machines to monitor the patient (Summary).

Becoming and EMT or paramedic is a very stressful and demanding career. It is also a depressing job dealing with sick people every day. However, the job is extremely rewarding and gratifying to know that you helped assist in saving a person’s

Currently I do not participate in any of the EMS Field. I work in mental health St. Helena Hospital, and we receive many patients from the emergency room, but are not directly in the EMS Field. Within the next few weeks I will become an official volunteer EMT at Angwin ambulance. I personally have always enjoyed helping others and that's what brought me into the healthcare field. I look forward to working as an EMT because that's more along the lines of what I want to do as a career, which is an emergency room nurse. I chose the EMS Field because not only do I love helping others but I enjoyed the challenges that EMTs face and the constantly changing environment. I enjoy being on the front lines of the action and getting to play an instrumental role in everything from holding a hand saving a life.

Most EMT/Paramedic training programs clearly plan the didactic and lab sessions within the classroom. However, many programs lose this accountability when sending students out of the classroom to the clinical rotations. This article is aimed to aid EMT and Paramedic students in discussing pointers to keep in mind when attending their mandatory clinical rotations, especially if they are not given full preparation from the instructor or course sponsor.

Without a doubt, the “White Paper” is still relevant in the world of EMS, playing a huge role with the modernization in EMS systems today. Accident Death in Disability outlined the need to decrease the morbidity and mortality of trauma patient through discussing key points that need change to be built a successful EMS system. Since then, EMS systems have not only become proficient in assessing and treating trauma patients, but also have become proficient in the assessment and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, mental health, and social issues in all populations.

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.

There are different skilled are required for working in EMS like EMS worker must have the ability to tackle high stress, anxiety, because it is the job that can be fast paced as well as emotional and physically demands. EMS needs to be strong because they have to lift patients and lift heavy equipment from one place to another. On the other side, EMS worker must have better ability of communication, so that they can teach patients about their disease situation and teach them how to take medicine on required time.

A paramedic is one of the first healthcare professionals on the scene of an emergency. Using a variety of lifesaving techniques, their job is to stabilise the patient for hospital transfer and definitive treatment. This selfless way of life sparked my interest in front line emergency medicine and I have sought out every opportunity to help me achieve my goal of becoming a paramedic. Wishing to obtain a practical insight into administering first aid, I have studied towards and achieved the St John's Youth First Aid and St John's Activity First Aid qualifications. To push myself further, I have taught the St John's Youth First Aid course and the St John's Heart Start course for the last 3 years, alongside a paramedic.

What is needed to do in high school for preparation for the job would be training. Law verifies that every state requires paramedics to complete formal training and get licensed. A full program of math and science classes in high school would prepare you for the job. Knowledge of math will prepare paramedics to calculate and predict right before something even happens. Because paramedics need excellent commutation, English and speech classes are important. Schools that offer programs to prepare you to become an EMT would be in Georgia, Walhalla, and Chicago. There are more to apply for and go to. To develop the skills for this job would be to try to speak to people often so that you would not be scared to talk when on the job, pay attention to what you might have on your job and listen more to what people have to say. My personal weakness that I have to overcome to succeed in this job would be to see people hurt and some even dead. I will also have to get used to seeing a lot of blood, broken bones and sad, worried family’s. Goals that I would want to pursue this career would be save more lives, not to let fear get in the way, and last to accomplish more than I can

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
