  Emergency Medical Technician

  When I am functioning as a Emergency Medical Technician I will give immediate response to 911 calls. As the first healthcare provider on scene of emergency situations, we collaborate with firefighters and police in evaluating the situation. I arrive to emergencies from minor injuries to severe casualties arising from land and air accidents, fires, natural disasters, criminal violence, and other incidents. Ambulances usually have two or more crew members, which includes a paramedic along with an emergency medical technician (EMT) or emergency care assistant. Nowadays, ambulance vehicles are equipped with many high-tech devices resembling those found in the emergency department of a hospital, such as electrocardiograms (EKGs) and automated external defibrillator (AED).Just a few of my duties when I first arrive at the scene is to properly assess the patient’s condition and to quickly determine the course of action necessary to stabilize the patient. The assessment includes a head-to-toe survey and the ABC of Emergency Medicine (airway, breathing and circulation). I will then take the patient to the hospital via an ambulance while making sure the patient’s condition is stable during the ride. We do this by using specialized equipment called backboards, which immobilizes the patient before they are placed on a stretcher for secure transport. In many cases, this initial assessment and treatment is crucial to the survival of the patient. Being a EMT can be stressful at times and requires the ability to handle a great deal of responsibility, especially when an individual’s life is in my hands. Show less
