I am a volunteer first-aid worker with the French Red Cross. Thank you for this detailed visit. The design of the different work areas and storage is very well thought out.
@@coover65 so I can only speak on Illinois where I am from. Depending on the hospital and region you are with the SOP’s are different. Some hospital have it where only Advanced emts or paramedics can do EKGs.
@@RJSteineke Thanks for the reply. With the exception of some Indigenous communities and remote communities, all staff on our ambulances are either Advanced Care or Critical Care Paramedics. We don't have EMT level. Very interesting from an Aussie POV to think there are ambulances with crews who can't do 12 leads, IV access etc. I do realise some US EMS providers don't seem very autonomous. We do a lot of treat at home jobs. Minor cuts get sutured by us rather than drag them off to hospital, and the same goes for wounds that just need cleaning; some ABs and perhaps a tetanus shot given. In many cases these patients don't need a hospital.
@@coover65 It also makes a difference where in the country you are. Additionally, the US EMS system is set up where EMT-Bs are basically either transport drivers or assistants for Medics. In rural areas they become more independent, but in more suburban or urban areas they behave in a similar manner to nurses or PAs working with a doctor.
Holy cow i cant believe theres a department that can get there hands on the pre filled EPI 1:10,000 right now. In mass after codes they've been giving us 1ml vials and a 10ml syringe telling us to mix it when needed. Our code bags right now have a box of 1ml EPI vials and we have to special signal an engine company just to mix drugs.
Not that bad. The Chevy and dodge seem little tighter but I personally like Ford. The extra room make a huge difference in comfortably. I recommend extended cabs all day long. Make sure to GET ARM REST. Ours does not have them 😉
I like your videos very much, however I have a question, does the medic one ambulance really exist, from station 19? because it is very big and I have never seen one like it anywhere, if it does exist can you make a video of it?
It seems like the days of "pick up and run to the hospital" are long gone. Looks like you are equipped and trained to really work on the patient to stabilize them for the transport. Do Doctors come out to the patient in the US? Or are they available on radio or phone when you guys need a second opinion? Oh… and another question: is the Stryker fixed to the floor or to an suspension system?
Most of the time doctors do not run calls of EMS. There are some but not many. However there are medical commanders at every hospital ready to help consult if needed.
They are all in the ALS first in bag which was not featured on the episode however keep watching we should be bringing you a look inside the ALS and BLS bags on another episode.
hello，i have a question. at 08:39 you said that "right of the action seat here we also have a temperature probe,reason for that is sepsis is big", i don‘t know why "temperature probe "relate to"sepsis"?,but if replace "sepsis" with "covid-19",i can understand
@@HeroesNextDoor all right,thank you four your answer.I had just asked my Dr. teacher, and got the same answer.All in all, tank you for your answering,and watch out for yourself during COVID-19 outbreak
@@HeroesNextDoor can u left me your mail? i made some SRT sbtitle(both English and Chinese), i want to send it to u which can make more people watch the video easily.
Good to see your cardiac monitor is on the same side as the attending crew member. I've seen some set up on the other side of the patient, meaning they have to lean over the patient to use it. Just curious, what percentage of patients would you treat/not transport? I read an article where some departments got their $$ from transporting, and as a result everybody get's a ride. So very different to us in Australia. Cheers
EMT working on an ALS bus here - At least for my squad and for my state protocols, I have to transport the patient if i perform any for of intervention past super mundane stuff like a band aid. The patient can of course refuse care or transport, but because a lot of the ALS stuff I do has a ton of layers i very rarely tell a patient that we don’t need to transport.
I HAVE HOMIES BACK HOME I RAN WITH THEM MY TRI HOSPITAL EMS HOMIES GOT ME BACK INTO BEING A FIRST AID GANGSTER THEY KNOW I'M STILL A FIRST AID GANGSTER
Let me get this straight... You spent $250,000 on a Type I instead of $90,000 on a Type II... and you're STILL using an AutoVent instead of spending $20k on a Hamilton T1 (or less on an LTV 1200)? This exemplifies everything that is wrong about Fire-based EMS. Money spent in all the wrong places. Instead of spending money on cool-looking boxes, priority should be given to the quality and capability of medical care provided.
Type 2, don’t hold up, are less safe, limit your ability to treat a patient due to little space, limit how much equipment and gear you can carry and basically ensure your gear isn’t properly secure. Pickup or medium duty ambulance are the standard for a reason.
@@bkane573 judging by the number of EMTs driving that have been killed upon finding themselves the crumple zone for a big box mounted on a cutaway chassis, I'd say Type III's are probably the most unsafe. There is no data to support the assertion that Type II's are less safe or insufficient for normal ALS equipment, or any sort of "standard" by any means (I would argue there are probably more Type II's on the road than other varieties). The only advantage is to the SCT environment where the equipment and personnel needs are greater than you'd experience in a 911 setting. If you have some sort of data you can cite, I'd be open to hearing it.
