Article Summary


Hi everyone, I did an article summary for you related on my program : Emergency Pre-Hospital Car. I chose an aticle that it talking about my my future career, and I found it described the work of paramedic very well. Even if the article is very good, this is just a little part of the information on this work, if you're interested, do not hesitate to search information on my blog or wherever you want. I hope you enjoy my article summary.

Paramedics are on the front lines of care. They are the best equipped for Prehospital care. So, they are best trained to intervene in a place of car accident, on victims of cardiac arrest or other serious health problems. It is an even possible to see them intervene imminent birth. Their work is, in fact, to treat patients, but the goal is to take them to hospital. Once at the hospital, after the paramedics had given a description of the patient's condition, it is then supported by nurses from the hospital. The actions taken by paramedics during the intervention are directly proportional to each training level. There are three levels of training. The first offers the ability to apply bandages on a wound, treat patients in a state of shock or even apply resuscitation. Paramedics have a higher level of training that can do much more than the first level as giving medication by mouth or intravenously, for example. Finally, there are the advanced care paramedics that may pose more medical act and give more drugs. Advanced Care Paramedics were called to the needs of the distributors, who themselves are informed by paramedics throughout the intervention. Such as police and firefighters, paramedics are called in situations where life is threatened. This is a very physically demanding work and especially psychologically. Each procedure is different and no one knows what to expect before the scene of the call. Nevertheless, the fact of helping people gives a great feeling of well-being.

By concluing, this work has up and down, but it is an amazing job !
