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.

EMTs provide comfort care, including treating minor wounds, scrapes, blisters, and burns; and they assist paramedics by providing basic life support, to enable paramedics to focus on more advanced treatments. They also perform basic evaluations such as checking blood pressure, pulse, lung sounds, respiratory rate, and blood glucose.
