Using Tools for Safe Transport of Patients
What is going on in the World of EMS? We have been working on how to move patients safely. In EMS we go to the patient and start providing immediate medical care if needed. This requires us to work in all different environments and move them to the ambulance and emergency room. Currently the EMS students have been working on how to safely transport patients via many different tools.
Students have also been learning how to take vital signs on each other. This includes learning how to take blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, skin perimeters, and visually assessing pupils for size and activity.
