Transcript: Being an EMT allows for pateint to physician contact and requires a smaller amount of schooling than pursuing a medical degree. Paramedics provide in-the-field assistance for injured and patient transport. Due to the booming medical field, there will also always be a need for Emergency Medical Technicians. Thank You! The life of an Emergency Medical Technician An Allied Health Career Schedules for EMT's are done in shifts. This shifts are 8, 10, 12, and 24 hour shifts. Most EMT's work 5 days a week. An EMT's typical starting salary is 31,020$ and requires two years of schooling. Emergency Medical Services (or more commonly referred to as EMS) is the service that provides "out-of-hospital acute medical care, transport to definitive care, and other medical transport to patients with illnesses and injuries which prevent the patient from transporting themselves." Scheduling, Salary, and Schooling Photo Gallery What is Emergency Medical Services? Emergency Medical Services EMT John Doe is in the ninth hour of his 24 hour shift. He recieves a call from dispatch saying they have a young male victim with multiple GSW's (or Gunshot Wounds) to the chest. The abulance is driven to the scene and an exam is conducted. There is no head injury but there is blood coming from mouth and up from the airway. Due to the penetrating wounds the paramedic must use a trauma protocol known as "restore perfusion" which will allow for a steady blood supply to get to the rest of the organs but not accelerating hemorrhage. To do this, the paramedic would need to: - Control the airway and ventilate using a bag-valve-mask - Apply a seal to the chest wound, and decompress any tension pneumothorax - Infuse enough fluid to restore critical perfusion - Try to get intravenous access above and below the diaphragm. This is usually done below the diaphragm using an intraosseous infusion device. - Use pressure infusers to give rapid fluid boluses All while informing the hospital of the situation Case Study Why do I like this?
