This paper will be going over a scenario involving a real patient and what things could have been different with EMS care. It will also be covering what exactly cardiac arrest is and what rhythms produce it. And for every cardiac rhythm in cardiac arrest, there is a specific treatment plan paramedics can follow.

A paramedic is an allied health professional whose primary purpose is to provide advanced emergency medical care for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. As medical providers, paramedics perform interventions with basic as well as advanced equipment under medical oversight.

WEEK 5 PICO(T) QUESTION 1Good Afternoon Class and Dr. Stephenson,In and out of the hospital high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is crucial to survival of victims of cardiac arrest. This research topic will focus on implementation of in hospital chest compressions in CPR. It will be based on a comparison of the efficacy of manual compressions and automated chest compressions in relation to survival outcomes. The potential attributes and short comings related to manual and automated chest compression will be reviewed. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have to be prepared to implement CPR during a cardiac arrest code. In consideration that patients in the ICU are often only marginally stable it is important that ICU nurses are familiar with their patient’s recent and past medical histories.

I am an enthusiastic, optimist, dependable and motivated person and this helps me for better communication with all levels of medical staffs.

A lifeguard has to make sure that all these things are in check because it can result in a really rough situation.

Paramedics have several duties that include taking vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respirations. They are certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for any patient that may stop breathing while in the paramedics care. CPR certification has to be renewed every 2 years.
