Day and night they roam the gritty streets, armed with a siren and the latest medical technology. At any moment, their radio could send them plunging into life or death situations-where they are the victim’s only hope for survival. EMERGENCY! The largest Emergency Medical Service (EMS) in the world, New York City’s EMS answers 1.5 million calls a year. Working frantically in situations where seconds mark the difference between life and death, 650 paramedics and 1700 emergency medical technicians patrol the city twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. With incredible, real-life footage, EMERGENCY! goes behind-the-scenes with the nation’s busiest street crew to see how lives are saved, and sometimes lost. You’ll never hear an ambulance siren the same way again.
SWAT Tactical Medic training in the remote, austere, non-permissive environment
@engine173351? Yes. Most states allow paramedics to intubate when they feel it necessary, conscious or not.
@JNHstudios? I want to say 1996?
She’s lucky he didn’t bite her finger? off!!
Anyone know what year the NY EMS became a part? of the FDNY?
LOL shes said “I am so covered in vomit…. well duh! is it any? wonder why….seriously
OMG!! she is trying to intubate him and hes like “wtf lady i have a intact gag-reflex!” Poor guy… you can tell the medics being videoed? are burn out.
@FFIrish23 I would bet he got some? Narcan in the ER….and then walked out…..
AAAHH!!!! The poor guy getting intubated while? still responsive
@engine173351 thats really old protocol i think she? knows what she doing for that time
@engine173351 i guess so if he was at risk of? seizing
@engine173351 gotta remember protocols change,? just taking a guess idk.
@gamedemon89 Turn him over into the recovery position with a NPA, and have suction ready. When done vomiting, suction, BVM him, he was talking, so i’am assuming he has spontaneous breathing, but must have been at a fast or slow rate that fell with in their? protocols to assist his ventilation. Just my take. Everybody stay safe out there.
@gamedemon89 I think in that situation, RSI should be considered. Because he? is just fightting and being combative, plus he was having a convulsion. Sedate, and intubate. That’s the best possible way.
@jad3948 he was already vomiting,
benzos are? already in to treat the seizure so he isnt falling asleep from the sedatives, and again he’s vomiting so she wants to secure the airway best she can, and prevent aspirational pneumonia
@engine173351 thats what i was thinking. thats probably why she’s got vomit all over? her
Thank God for? RSI!
Is she even supposed to? be intubating when the PT is conscious?
Keep them good? videos coming 5*****
@wakeoforion999 yes nurses are doctor hoes… i was at a club, and a girl got beat with a bottle. security guard knows me and told me to help.. before i got to my initial assessment a nurse barrels through the crowd and tells me to turn her head? i didn’t even have a chance to check ABC’s.. fire house right across the? street so i didn’t get mad… so ya.. the little respect i had for nurses… out the window. and since i didn’t start my assessment it wasn’t abandon.
Tactical enviroments dont need bells and whistles. Quick in, quick treat, quick out. Bells? and whistles are heavy and useless in hyperacute emergency. Medics win. Its what most of us do anyway
hahahahah “this isnt a pissing match”…….”btw emts would lose” lol nurses? are so useless…
alex-excellent question. it depends where you work in the capacity as a RN-ie ICU or ER. you do have a few deficiencies that have to be corrected to meet the responsibilities of a paramedic.? remember this is not a pissing contest RN vs EMT. btw emt’s would lose hands down from a knowledge and skills perspective as their skills are minimal simply because of the environment they work in-they don’t work with all the bells and whistles of a hospital day in and day out.
I am a RN/Army medic
In? most cases you have to be a emt-p … it has allot to do with local protocol and team needs…
this looks like an awsome class…but how often would? you say that a person trained as a tactical medic actually gets to use their training? From my research the best way to get a job as a tactical medic is to already be a cop and then be trained as a medic, is this true?
Anyone know if a tactical medica can also be a nurse with a BSN (instead of just a EMT? or paramedic)?
I just took? a class myself, great fun! They work your ass off though huh?
Great video guys…. loved the class…. truly relevant? information during a time when other companies are simply throwing a class together and letting medics fire a few rounds down range..thanks for tying it all together for me
Absolutely the BEST? training and operational group around!
