✨In honor of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week I’ll drop some daily knowledge. West Allis Communications Center dispatches police, fire and medical. When we receive a medical call we use Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD). Dispatchers can deliver lifesaving instructions thanks to EMD protocols while an ambulance is en route. All dispatchers are EMD certified. This certification includes the initial 24 hour class followed by continuing education requirements for recertification every 2 years. Callers please be patient with the dispatcher. We are required to ask a series of questions. This may be very frustrating in a high stress situation such as a loved one that has just went unresponsive and not breathing but it’s very important to answer the questions. What's the address of the emergency? What's the phone number you're calling from? Okay, tell me exactly what happened. Are you with the patient now? How old is the patient? Is the patient male or female? Is the patient awake? Is the patient breathing? After identifying the primary medical concern, further questions and/or instructions may be necessary. The quicker you can answer the questions accurately the quicker we can dispatch the best medical units to assist the patient. Happy TC Week! 🖤💛 #NPSTW2024 #IAM911 #911TIPS #THECALL #911PROFESSIONALS #savingliveseveryday #EMD

Did you know that during emergency rescue operations, the Amoul synchronized system can interact between CPRs and Vents? This critical feature ensures seamless communication and unifies the operational system, ultimately helping to save lives. With the linkage of two instruments, rescue personnel can free their hands and perform other emergency operations. Gone are the days of operating two devices separately, as the Amoul® instruments automatically unify and cooperate with each other, delivering proper ventilation directly and making frequency control more precise and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is also made more accurate and efficient. After linkage, both devices can record parameters and emergency information with each other, making the clinical system more intelligent and easier to manage. The innovative Amoul synchronized system frees the hands of paramedics, especially in limited-space environments such as road or air ambulances. It improves the efficiency of treatment and solves the pain points of insufficient manpower for emergency medical staff. By investing in this cutting-edge technology, we can ensure that your emergency rescue operations are top-notch, providing the highest level of care to those in need. #interactionsbetweencprandventilator #lifesaving #amoulmed #CPR #medicaltechnology #airambulance #amoulsynchronizedsystem

I'm thrilled to share that I've recently completed CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training. In today's fast-paced world, having the knowledge and skills to respond effectively in emergency situations can make a real difference. CPR training equips individuals with the ability to provide immediate assistance to someone experiencing cardiac arrest or other life-threatening situations, potentially saving lives. #CPRTraining #PersonalDevelopment #LifesavingSkills #ContinuousLearning #EmergencyResponse #helpingsavelifes

🚨 Don't Let Complacency Creep In: A Reminder for Emergency Medical Dispatchers 🚨 As Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs), our role is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in need of urgent medical assistance. However, it's easy to fall into the trap of complacency, especially when faced with routine calls or familiar scenarios. Complacency can dull our senses, cloud our judgment, and ultimately compromise the quality of care we provide. That's why it's essential for EMDs to remain vigilant, engaged, and proactive at all times. Every call is unique, and every situation requires our full attention and expertise. By staying sharp, continuously honing our skills, and staying updated on the latest protocols and procedures, we can ensure that we deliver the highest standard of care to those who rely on us during their most vulnerable moments. Let's challenge ourselves to never settle for mediocrity, but instead, strive for excellence in every call we handle. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. #EMD #EmergencyMedicalDispatcher #StayVigilant #ContinuousImprovement #QualityCare #LinkedInFirstResponder

As we approach the holiday season, it's important to remember that the incidence of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) increases during this time. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), in 2020 alone, there were 356,000 deaths due to SCA in America. The most recent number is 436,852 deaths (nearly 1200 per day). Do you know Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and have immediate access to a life-saving Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? These skills along with a proven AED can make all the difference in saving a life. At Cardio Partners, we believe in ensuring everyone is prepared to save a life. We offer a variety of lifesaving CPR, First Aid, and AED training classes along with the lifesaving AEDs to help you appropriately respond in case of a medical emergency. Learning CPR is a gift that keeps on giving. If we all knew what to do, felt confident on how to do it, and performed these simple life-saving techniques, we could be the difference between life and death. If you're interested in learning life-saving skills or life-saving AEDS, please contact Michael Riggs at [email protected] or 985.788.4531. #AED #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness #CPR #cardiopartners #savinglives #savinglivestogether
