In the realm of emergency healthcare, the terms EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) are often used interchangeably, yet they represent distinct aspects of medical response and care. Though they are closely related and often work together, EMS and EMT have distinct roles, training, and responsibilities.

What is the difference between ALS and BLS Medical Care? 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.

Learning how to become an EMT in New Jersey, or an Emergency Medical Technician to be specific, is not an overnight accomplishment. Not only are you training to be a Garden State EMT, you are studying to become Nationally Registered, which is a relatively new requirement for the state.

I am in the fly car and a BLS crew is in the ambulance. I don’t see anyone on two passes, but then I hear the BLS unit radio they’ve found him. An EMT is already wheeling the stretcher down a short alley where his partner is kneeling by the dumpster. Good job,” I say to the young EMT. You found him.”

I was in the paramedic fly car and a BLS crew was in the ambulance. I didn’t see anyone on two passes, but then I heard the BLS unit radio that they’d found the patient. An EMT was already wheeling the stretcher down a short alley where his partner knelt by the dumpster. We were driving around looking for the victim.

This was what happened on my first call as an EMT. As EMTs, we all get the idea that we are here to save people’s lives, and that single thing is the sole purpose of our existence. In EMT school, they teach you that you should remain professional and not really show emotion when you encounter any uncomfortable situation.

I was certified as an EMT back in 1994, and since then, I’ve held a license to practice at varying levels. Worse, our moral injury would increase when during these “high volume” periods you would hear a BLS unit begin on the radio for any help with a sick person who needed an airway, or a pediatric near-drowning…and getting none.

[link] In the spring of 2012, Marty and I were approached by another EMT with the goal to provide emergency medicine to the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. We were losing some of our EMTs. Marty was asked to become a lead instructor of an EMT course in the summer of 2012. His first cohort had 17 students.

Since she was confused, she didn’t know where his paperwork was so the BLS agency that arrived began efforts for resuscitation. Each of the people on that BLS crew are career providers. When I first started out as an EMT, I came across this similar situation. It puts us at risk for injury, it stresses the mind and the soul.

We made a quick decision to do some BLS care, while other paramedics explained to the family the tiny chance for survival these twins had. And it turned out to not only be one baby but two. A teen mom, only 20 weeks along with no prenatal care. They were born not breathing, no pulse. No bigger than the palms of my hands.
