AbstractIntroduction:A multitude of life-threatening and nonlife-threatening processes cause chest pain and shortness of breath. Prehospital therapy for these patients may be lifesaving and includes pharmacologic interventions, as well as invasive procedures. Appropriate therapy depends on the diagnostic skills of the paramedic.Objective:This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of the paramedic diagnosis in patients transported with a chief complaint of pain or shortness of breath.Setting:Multihospital, one large municipal hospital, one community hospital.Design:Prospective, cross-s

This attention has particularly focused on high rates of stress, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This heightened awareness of the high incidence of mental illness, which has at times tragically resulted in the suicide of serving and former paramedics, is stimulating the address of mental health within the paramedic profession.

The Acute Community Care Program (ACCP) initiative sends specially trained paramedics to evaluate and treat patients with urgent care problems in their residences during evening hours. ACCP safety depends on making appropriate triage decisions from patients’ reports during phone calls about whether paramedics could care for patients’ urgent needs or whether they require emergency department (ED) services. Furthermore, after ACCP paramedics are on scene, patients may nonetheless need ED care if their urgent health problems are not adequately treated by the paramedic’s interventions. To train cl

Mental ill health affects a significant proportion of paramedics' patients, and practitioners could assess and promote their physical health even though contact time is limited. Factors affecting physical health include substandard and disjointed care, stigma and diagnostic overshadowing—where physical symptoms are dismissed as a feature of mental illness.

Introduction: Delegation of controlled medical acts by physicians to paramedics is an important component of the prehospital care framework. Where directives indicate that physician input is needed before proceeding with certain interventions, online medical control (a “patch”) exists to facilitate communication between a paramedic and a Base Hospital Physician (BHP) to request an order to proceed with that intervention. Many factors contribute to success or failure of effective interpersonal communication during a patch call. The aim of this study was to examine areas of potential improvement

A paramedic or health care provider is a health professional that provides rapid response, emergency medical assessment, treatment and care to critically ill patients1.

He works under the direct supervision of a medical expert and is considered a “delegated practitioner”. Paramedical service is crucial for the effective running of the modern health care system and is the lifeline of the health sector2.

Abstract:

Introduction As the global demand for emergency health services continues to expand, the role of paramedics persists and grows alongside the expansion of ambulance services. The need to explore alternative pathways for enhancing service efficiency and alleviating hospital demands is increasingly evident, particularly for low-acuity cases. Non-traumatic dental conditions (NTDC) can be ongoing and have far-reaching health implications if not treated correctly. This scoping review aims to explore what is known about the incidence of NTDC cases attended by paramedics internationally. Methods Three

Abstract:

BackgroundSince its development in the 1970s, the paramedic profession has tried to expend its traditional role of providing prehospital emergency care in ambulances into new fields of practice (e.g. community care). Paramedics in Israel are employed almost exclusively in the emergency medical services (EMS). Similar to other countries, the manpower shortage in the Israeli health system forced policy-makers to consider the expansion of traditional roles of various healthcare professions including paramedics.ObjectivesThis presentation seeks to: (1) map the current situation and challenges faci

Abstract <strong>Background:</strong> Hospital Information System (HIS) is used to improve intraorganizational communication and retrieve digital copies of medical records. In India, approximately 300,000 paramedics passed out annually from 8500 institutes, without HIS knowledge. In lack of trained paramedics, and unseen expenditures to train them, it is required to understand what is needed to augment efficiency in hospitals for generating revenue.

Abstract:

Abstract The profession of paramedic is a recent profession functioning in Poland since 1992. Over those 27 years the training, the role and responsibilities given to paramedics have undergone many changes. Initially, paramedics were trained in two-year colleges (post-secondary schools) and were not qualified to administer medical emergency treatment (medical rescue procedures) at the place of accidents. At present, they are educated at universities and are qualified to apply emergency medical treatment by themselves, inter alia to ensure the safe transport of the injured person in a life-thre

Paramedic practice has been rapidly developing over a short space of time, with more paramedics entering the world of advanced practice across a variety of healthcare settings. Although there is a need for further advanced practitioners, due to the global healthcare workforce crisis and ageing population, advanced practitioner paramedics face many barriers to integration into the workforce.

Abstract:

Background: Frontline paramedics are increasingly attending to non-emergency problems and calls that could be managed by a primary care provider. Alongside this, there is a growing pressure to manage patients at home or use an alternative care pathway and reduce hospital conveyance. Student paramedic training, including both placement and taught elements at university, should therefore reflect this. However, placement opportunities for student paramedics in primary care settings is variable across the UK. Aim: To explore student paramedics' views on incorporating a placement within general pra
