2008年7月6日 · Actually, EMD also is a medical term "Electrical Mechanical Disassociation" it is the same as PEA- Pulseless Electrical Activity. R/r 911 Knowledge is a powerful tool!

2016年1月18日 · There's someone at my work who adds "NREMT, EMT-IV, EKG, EMD" to all emails. They are obviously pretty proud of the 2 day IV course and the 4 day general EKG course they took. It has turned into kind of a joke, so if anyone responds, they will add every cert they have as kind of a jab... Like "Sorry _____ I can't work for you Tuesday. -Signed _____

2015年10月13日 · The study was for NON-RURAL meaning areas that included a cluster of greater than 10,000 people were included. This encompasses 94% of the US population. The county I live in is classified as non-rural due to one "urban cluster" MICROPOLITAN district even though the county population density is 1% of a metro area.

2004年11月13日 · At the ambulance corps, we use the EMD system, and that dictates RLS or no. Alphas are none, Bravos are lights/limited sirens, Charlie-Delta-Echo are RLS. I'd rather get there a little faster (but safely, of course), because "abdominal pain" could really be a GI bleed where every second counts. Or it could be gas.

2014年4月8日 · PEA, formerly known as Electro-Mechanical Disassociation ( EMD), will give yo a variety of EKG activity including sometimes a good looking QRS, but no actual pulse is being generated in the circulatory system. (Personally, I feel EMD is one variety of PEA because of the many etiologies for "PEA"; wait for the film at eleven).

2011年2月2日 · Since the early 1970's most states have licensed people as EMT's or EMT-P's ( paramedics). There are also EMT-W's ( wilderness, for people such as park rangers) and EMD's (emergency medical dispatchers). EMT's have a semester or two of training and paramedics have EMT training followed by another two or three semesters.

2020年7月18日 · At least in my own department, I maintain some skepticism. This would be a single medic response, meaning unless the dispatcher was on it and starts the fire truck, then there’a the delay in getting them there, then the delay of thinking through who’s getting the ice and how, those folks leaving and returning, etc..

2009年8月3日 · Like ResTech said, the "normal" ("normal" meaning based on studies done mostly in young health males and backed up by stress echocardiographic studies) point where the maximal increase from heart rate are seen and anything beyond it causes a decrease in cardiac output is usually cited as somewhere between 150-180.

2015年10月13日 · I work in a system that dual responds ALS and BLS to calls that get EMD'd as ALS criteria calls, and it's great, because the BLS folks get to do emergencies and see sick patients, and ALS (ideally) only commits to sick patients and gets cancelled to a lot of the nonsense, therefore being available for when the truly acute call happens.

2016年3月22日 · EMD is very effective when utilized properly. Unfortunately it's biggest flaw is the RP. EMD relies on educated, level headed people to be on the other end of the phone, and it also assumes that the person calling 911 has an actual emergency. IE; EMD wants to assume back pain is a AAA and not a chronic obesity issue.
