DYK: In 2023, Northwest EMS had a call volume of 19,557 calls. This is a 0.56% increase from 2022 (19,448 calls). 🚑 When should you call 9-1-1 for paramedic assistance? Northwest EMS Paramedics are available for medical emergencies. Here is a helpful graphic to assist you in deciding what type of medical care you need. #PSW2024 #HelpUsHelpYou #DedicatedToImprovingEverydayLives #MakeTheRightCall

Just completed reviewing the #FEMA Resource Typing for Emergency Medical Services Resource Types, and will say there are some improvements proposed that look good. The addition of Medical Ambulance Buses is much needed. One thing I noticed missing was mixed-resources, such as BLS/ALS to make up a Ground Ambulance Task Force, lets say 4 BLS & 1 ALS. Here in NJ that is much more likely to occur than being able to field a full ALS Strike Team. I also believe an addition of an EMS Incident Management Team might be a nice addition for the future. What say you? https://lnkd.in/gzKb2RbC

Snapshot: Patient Triage A student speaks with a ‘patient’ during the Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT) Course at the Center for Domestic Preparedness. The three-day offering teaches responders how to properly use personal protective equipment as well as triage and decontaminate both ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients.

Starting November 8, 2023, Ambulance Communications Officers in the Kenora Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC), will adopt the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS), to improve the deployment of paramedic resources to meet patient needs by matching resources with the clinical situation and prioritizing the most urgent calls to 9-1-1. 🚑 Low-urgency incidents will be dispatched as soon as an appropriate ambulance is available and will receive follow-up call-backs to check on the patient’s status. 🚑 If the patient’s status during the follow-up call requires immediate medical attention, call back 9-1-1 to provide an update on patient condition. 🚑 Both low-urgency incidents and non-emergency transfers will be processed with detailed questions to determine the most appropriate response priority.

The Point is to get MORE AMBULANCES out on the streets so we DON'T HAVE police transporting patients who have medical emergencies who eventually die at the hospital. ONCE AGAIN, very interesting reporting and ANOTHER REASON to fix EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) so we have MORE PROVIDERS TO HELP MORE PEOPLE. #ems #emergencymedicine #emergencymedicalservices #emt #emergencymedicaltechnician #medic #paramedic

Ever wondered how Air Ambulances differ from land ambulances? 🚁💨 Unlike land ambulances, Air Ambulance crews are equipped with Specialist Paramedics and Critical Care Doctors trained in pre-hospital emergency medicine. They bring the expertise and equipment of a hospital directly to the patient, even performing life-saving surgical interventions on-site. 🏥 #AirAmbulancesUK #didyouknow #EmergencyMedicine

This is the first of four scenarios where we learn Spanish for caring for a patient who has suffered an out-of-hospital arrest. In this first scenario, the patient is already in rigor mortis and the paramedic must explain why they are not initiating CPR.
