DID YOU KNOW?
Paramedics Make A Difference
Upon arrival the paramedics begin an assessment of the patient that involves the ABC’s—airway, breathing and circulation. The crew works to immediately stabilize the condition of the patient involving their advanced life support skills which include:

  • Diagnostic Based Assessment
  • IV/Central Lines
  • ACLS Procedures
  • Availability of over 30 Medications
  • Advanced Airway Management know as Intubation
  • External Pacing
  • Pulse Oximetry
  • Cricothyrodomy
  • Needle Thoracentesis (Chest Decompression)
  • Defibrillation and Synchronized Cardio-version

Once the patient is stabilized the paramedics begin transport, usually to a local hospital. The paramedics contact the emergency room physician by radio or phone either at the scene or enroute to the hospital. With the physician’s guidance the paramedics continue treatment. Upon arrival, the paramedics report to the physician the patient’s response to treatment. The emergency room staff takes over patient care. Soon the paramedic is back in the ambulance ready for the next call.
