This could range from basic life support, typically managed by EMTs, to more advanced life support provided by paramedics and other medical specialists. From advanced life support to strategic coordination and transport, EMS ensures that every aspect of emergency response is addressed effectively.

As an EMT, your primary focus is patient care and transportation to a hospital for more advanced medical attention. In contrast, Paramedics are trained to provide advanced life support care. Paramedic training might take up to two years, which is more time and money to invest.

So be ready to perform and transmit 12-lead EKGs for basic life support units as well as those with advanced life support capabilities. Documenting 12-lead EKG in discrete data fields, such as under procedure or vital sign, rather than only in the free-text narrative can also help to ensure better monitoring and improvement initiatives.

In Basic Life Support (BLS) emergencies, a single EMS provider can not deliver optimum care, such as when trying to hold direct pressure on a bleeding wound, while preparing bandages, to stop bleeding. In Advanced Life support (ALS) emergencies, a “single” paramedic or ER doctor can not deliver necessary care.

8 The 2023 Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines recommend the following formulas for ET tubes. Afterwards, the LMA may be removed and an endotracheal (ET) tube passed over the bronchoscope to intubate the patient. This increases the risk of the ET tube becoming obstructed or blocked by the vocal folds.
