It’s been more than a decade since the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) stopped using the certification designations EMT-B and EMT-Basic. The change from EMT-B to EMT was not just in title. There is nothing “basic” about what an EMT learns or the skills he or she can perform.

Every EMT or paramedic who works out in the field knows that a fair percentage, some might say the majority, of our patients, don’t actually need to go to the emergency room.” Is it safe for this patient to go to urgent care?

Regardless of the frequency with which you see them, you may be wondering — what exactly does an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) do? EMTs are not just “ambulance drivers,” although that’s certainly a critical part of their occupation. For EMTs and patients, an ambulance is more than transportation to the hospital.

A proper EMT knife is much more than a blade with a star of life on it. A proper EMT knife is also a rescue tool. When selecting a proper tool an EMT or Paramedic, even a Medical First Responder, should think about what sort of job they do. A rescue tool/EMT knife should fill either 1 critical role or multiple roles.
