What are EMT-Paramedics?
EMT-Paramedics treat and transport the sick and injured to medical facilities. EMT-Paramedics have reached the highest level of prehospital training. They may open airways, restore breathing, administer breathing treatments, control bleeding, treat for shock, administer medications and oxygen, immobilize fractures, bandage wounds, assist in childbirth, manage emotionally disturbed patients, treat and assist heart attack victims, give initial care to poison and burn victims, perform CPR and use defibrilators on patients in cardiac arrest. They can perform IV therapy, endotracheal intubation, cardiac monitoring, acquire 12 lead ECGs, pace and defibrilate the heart.
