MERIDIAN ALLIED HEALTH III: EMT
With the growth of America's urban populations has come an increased demand for medical first responders - most notably, the emergency medical technician. This program guides students through the duties of the EMT -Basic and EMT -Paramedic, the skills and personality traits both require, and the financial and personal advantages that these positions offer. Featuring interviews with veterans of the profession, the program describes the 110 -hour class and national or state registry exam an aspiring EMT must complete, along with specific functions - for EMT -Bs, supporting an ambulance team in the field and during patient transport, maintaining vitals and airwave access, controlling bleeding, basic splinting, and applying a cervical collar; and for EMT -Paramedics, traction splinting, patient status assessment, and other functions that prepare patients for emergency room care. Both the Hollywood -style excitement and the routine aspects of EMT life are emphasized, in addition to the best high school courses and volunteer opportunities in which a would -be EMT should get involved.
