Emergency Medical Technicians

Emergency medical technicians respond to 911 calls and provide critical care during medical emergencies. They quickly assess patients' conditions, check vital signs, and determine the appropriate treatment within their scope of practice. EMTs perform CPR, control bleeding, stabilize fractures, assist with childbirth, and administer oxygen. They operate specialized equipment like defibrillators and backboards while carefully documenting all care provided. During transport, they continuously monitor patients and communicate with hospital staff to ensure smooth handoffs.
