First Responder

In addition to providing hands-on patient care, robots can also help lift patients. Some Japanese inventors created the "Robot for Interactive Body Assistance". This robot is used to transport patients weighing up to 134 lbs. to bedsides and wheelchairs using built-in sensors and foam support technology (Dean, 2009). In America researchers have tested robot called a "Nursebot" on elderly patients, this was not very effective. The problems with the "Nursebot" was it’s ability to perform task such as giving patients bath or help change the patients. The "Nursebot" was however able to remind patients when to take medications or help them to move around as to not strain the elderly person.

Robots have been useful to humans since the past. They’re made to make human life easier. Since early times people have been dreaming of making robots and different people have made different kinds of robots. Robots has been useful in the past, they’re now useful in present-time, and they’re going to be useful in the future.

In today’s time of demand and supply of healthcare needs, organizations must discover or improve services that can meet the needs of patients’ whole at the same time generating revenue as well as achieving high standards for quality of care. One way organizations have done this is by investing in robotic systems to carry out a range of surgeries. In the following presentation I will discuss the topics of: Investing in the MAKO RIO Robotic System, The Utilization of the RIO Robotic System, Stakeholders

Further on, when they arrive on the scene they must maintain their personal space. They must also maintain a distance for them and the patient to ensure safety for the both of them. They must assess the patient in order to see if he or she has a weapon. Everything can flash before their eyes in a life or death situation which can traumatize a person, even though first responders are trained for these situation these traumatizing images can haunt them forever. No one can ever be prepared to know what is out in the field that is why they must remain calm and try to diffuse the situation. First responders put their life out on the line knowing the risks but coming home with scars that haunt them.

A first respondent is a very critical role and is, thus, essential for the applicants to hold a viable degree or certificate as prove of their competency (Pope, 2005). Each state in America look for varied skills in first respondent applicants and also require varied EMT qualifications. Since the first responder is the person who arrives at the scene of accident or catastrophic occurrence first, it means that he is the first person to deal with patients and it is, thus, critical for him to have medical

I did extensive research on the City of Joliet and on the position of Public Safety Dispatcher. The City of Joliet is dedicated to keeping local communities safe by maintaining order and control. The City of Joliet honors their employees with great benefits and they provide future opportunities.

The training that first responders receive is extremely important in the event that a natural disaster or terrorist attack happens. However, the United States is a very large place and ensuring that all responders from the cities to the middle of no-where Colorado have the same training is where opportunity lies. Granted not every single responder is going to need to know the same thing but in the event of a large-scale attack somewhere in the United States (i.e. 9/11), many individuals might be called upon to help out. Looking into the future of how first responders are trained, Wilkerson et al. (2008) conducted a study in which they used simulation technology in an effort to simulate real life conditions of a terrorist event. The study found

For calmly providing immediate care to a Soldier whom fell ill after conducting PRT. Your rapid assistance in providing initial responder first aid is in keeping with our Army Values and the stated goals of the Anvils Safety Program. Your efforts exemplify the professionalism and dedication of an Army Soldier and reflect great credit upon you, ALPHA COMPANY, 1-145th Aviation Regiment, the 1st Aviation Brigade, and the United States Army.

You have probably been in your car and seen a fire truck or ambulance rush by either responding to an emergency call or transporting someone to the hospital. You may have wondered what it would be like to be driving that ambulance or fire truck, or how it feels giving life support to a patient while in route to the hospital. Perhaps you’re in a rural town and had seen something similar. Over the next few pages, I am going to discuss what it feels like to be on those trucks as well as the significance of the volunteer firefighter and how they play a vital role in the United States, saving lives and property.

A major component of the care Paramedics provide is the assessment of a patient’s physical status, which is the ground for any further treatment. The assessment method that an Advanced Care Paramedic follows is a systematic assessment referred to as the Primary Survey. The aim of this fundamental assessment is to give an initial diagnosis of the patient as well as identifying any imminent threats to the patient. This assessment is used so that a Paramedic can decide how to treat the patient while staying within the boundaries of their scope of practice. Throughout this essay the concept of a primary survey within the scope of practice of an Advanced Care Paramedic will be understood. Additionally

When working in a school setting it is important to keep in constant contact with the parent or caregivers. This child can very effectively play a game of "victim, persecutor, and rescuer", in which the child as victim will pit one person off against another. It may involve telling you about bad things about the parent, or telling the parent bad things about you. This kind of triangle game can put teachers, aides, classmates, parents, principals, and anyone else in either the persecutor or rescuer role to suit the child's needs. The child, however, will always have the victim role. If the child accuses anyone of anything, check it out with that person first before saying or doing anything.

The long term effects of an illness or trauma are influenced by timely, appropriate medical care. This begins with what interventions the ambulance crew provides if one is called. In the prehospital environment, there are four levels of providers: Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), and Paramedic (National Scope of Practice Model, 20-21). The EMT is considered the “backbone” of prehospital emergency medicine (National Scope of Practice Model 23). It is the first level that a provider can either give a patient medicine or assist with the patient’s own medications (National Scope of Practice Model 24). Medicines that an EMT in Kansas can use are supplemental oxygen, nitroglycerin, aspirin, epinephrine and glucagon by auto injector, oral glucose, activated charcoal, and breathing medications such as Atrovent or a metered dose inhaler (Kansas Board of EMS 1). An EMT may also use a autoinjector antidote on themselves or their partner (Kansas Board of EMS 1). Medications used in emergency situations may reduce disability or prevent patient mortality.

These robots are known as the ICub, and excel at interacting with the human population safely. One of these robots, known as Molly, exists in Bristol, England (Honigsbaum). This small combination of metals, wires, and computer components actually helps the elderly with simple tasks that they would ordinarily need help with. In addition to helping the elderly, the ICub can also help clean the work space of individuals. Simon, an upper-body humanoid, assists in moving a variety of items and cleaning workspaces. This robot was developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and statistics state that, “Simon could tell with close to 80% accuracy whether someone was paying attention or ignoring him.” This proves that it is indeed possible to create helpful machines that can also interact with humans through the regulation and extra development of artificial intelligences. All of the activities that the ICub Robots partake in are completely beneficial to the global society and will have a large impact on the culture of the world as a whole. An added plus to the push for technological development is that countries can use these advancements as a way to better the future of their state. These nations can accomplish this through the integration of robotic aids into their school systems. An instance in which this concept is used occurs in the Connecticut school system.

Imagine if you would not need to help Mom and Dad, carrying stuff for them or cleaning up after them! You can have a robot help you with your daily activities such as cleaning your room, washing your car, and even wiping for you once you are done using the bathroom. A robot is a machine designed to complete or carry out multiple tasks when programmed to do so. Robots play a huge role in discovery, such as Mars Curiosity Rover, that is used to observe Mar’s surface and environment. We have used Robots to study the moons surface to see what it is like and to learn more about space. We use robots today in military by using them to disarm bombs and find enemy locations. Robots will have a positive impact on our future, because robots will help us to discover more in the ocean and space, help us save lives, and aid in the military.
