Certain incidents and situations require immediate medical care, attention and where even a delay of a few minutes can prove to be crucial for someone’s life. Ambulance and paramedic services are extremely relevant and important in such circumstances because they ensure people get the right medical care and intervention at the earliest. Regularly, ambulances and paramedic services save hundreds of lives because of their prompt and expert treatment given to the ill or injured patient.
The emergency ambulance service team consists of a advanced paramedic and a EMT. They are highly trained clinicians who offer the required treatment to the patients. Whether it’s a wound, illness, chronic condition or trauma, paramedics have the expertise to work in stressful circumstances to help the patient through their training in intensive care education. One of their most important goals is to stabilize the patient’s condition and help treat the patient while they are being transported to hospital. They provide immediate and effective medical aid and care to the patient while being on move for the hospital. Paramedics are well equipped with first aid skills and know-how to help a patient who is bleeding profusely, having cardiac arrests, road accidents, injuries by fall, and so on. Over and above the skills and expertise of the paramedics, ambulance services are also very useful because of the wide range of essential pre-hospital emergency machines that they have, right from heart defibrillators, intravenous drips, splints to oxygen and drugs.
Ambulance and paramedics services manage to successfully provide prehospital medical care during emergencies, along with the service of patient transfer. Ambulance services make it possible to avoid the severity of damage caused to the health of the patient. Through ambulance equipment and expertise of the paramedics, effective assessment, management, and transfer of patients are possible in risky and stressful circumstances. The services that various medical professionals can provide individually and separately, paramedics can provide them all together and at once. Ambulances are in constant contact with hospitals which makes it possible to ensure that patients get the right care, advice, and treatment in the least amount of time. Through their services, it is also possible to get easy access to medical care during off-hours, especially at night. Ambulance services also play an important role in promoting and aiding telephone health services through their communications infrastructure.
Where Are Ambulance Services Important?
At Events
Any event organizer, no matter how big or small the event, needs to make sure of the safety and security of the guests and participants coming to the event. In case of medical emergencies, accidents, or any unforeseen circumstances, the event organizers need to be well prepared with an emergency plan to ensure that no severe damage is caused to the health and wellbeing of a guest because of lack of medical assistance or care at the event. Having ambulance services at an event is the most effective and convenient part of this emergency plan. This will make sure that in case of a medical or accidental crisis, the event attendee is rushed to the nearest hospital in the least amount of time possible to ensure that they get the required medical treatment to help stabilize their condition. Having an ambulance at an event is a responsible and wise decision that can help save lives in case of any emergencies.
For Businesses
A business cannot thrive and succeed without its employees. Employees and their health and wellbeing should be one of the most important priorities for an employer. Employees spend a huge part of their day at the workplace itself and one may probably experience a medical emergency at the workplace. Even in case of accidents, it is crucial to have an emergency plan in place when the need arises for the same. Having ambulances at businesses and workplaces can ensure that employees get first aid and emergency medical care at the right time. Several businesses like construction sites or DEWA plants are also more likely to witness accidents and thus having an ambulance for emergency service at businesses is essential.
For Patient Transfers
Patient transfers involve moving the patient from his/her home or any other location to the hospital and vice versa. Patient transfers can be categorized into emergency and non-emergency patient transfers. The former involves paramedics reaching the site of the emergency in the least amount of time possible and providing immediate first aid care or stabilizing the patient. Non-emergency medical patient transfer refers to moving the patient from one location to the other, safely, and conveniently. This transfer could be between the hospital and home for medical treatments such as dialysis or medical appointments. This type of transfer can prove to be very helpful for critically ill patients who need constant monitoring since, through an ambulance service, it is possible to monitor heart and blood pressure.
