Sometimes refered to as the backbone of the EMS system, the EMT or EMT-Basic is trained in Basic Life Support (BLS) procedures taught during a 144 hour course. The EMT performs limited invasive skills. The EMT-Basic course emphasizes the development of student skills in patient assessment and examination, the recognition of signs and symptoms of illness or injury, and the use of proper procedures when rendering basic emergency medical care. General topics covered include: human anatomy and physiology, bleeding and shock, emergency childbirth, airway management including oxygen therapy, splinting of fractures and dislocations, medical emergencies and movement of patients. The intent of the course is to provide the EMT with the knowledge and skills to assess and manage life-threatening injury and illness and provide rapid transport of patients to medical treatment facilities. |
The Mountain Ambulance Service is also certified in the following:
New members with the Service that have been accepted to the general membership and wish to become EMT's, will be enrolled in the next available EMT program if they do not have a current EMT State Certification and will take a position of EMT in Training with the Service. Trainees will only be allowed to ride along as an observer at the discretion of the Crewchief on call. When they have completed the required classroom hours and have applied for a State of Wisconsin Training Permit, Trainees may place their names on the Duty Schedule and work as an EMT under the direction of an EMT on the call.
All new EMT's will be considered "In Training" until they have completed a minimum of 6 months of service and at least 10 runs with an experienced EMT. All new EMT's will be paired with an experienced EMT on the Service and will operate and schedule with that EMT. No new EMT will be scheduled with another new EMT until after they have completed their minimum six months of service and 10 runs with an experienced EMT.
