The Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

Positive Learning Environment A safe or positive learning environment is one in which students and faculty are free from harm, discrimination and teasing; where tolerance and acceptance are present; where new ideas and creative problem solving are encouraged; and where students can ask questions and learn without fear of mental or physical discomfort.

Emergency Medical Response “The purpose of this course is to train emergency medical responders, people like you, who will often be the first trained individuals with/without a duty to provide care at the scene of an emergency. The course content and activities will prepare you to better recognize emergencies, make decisions, and provide care. This course teaches the skills you will need to manage emergency situations until more advanced medical personnel, such as EMTs and Paramedics arrive.”

You Are the Emergency Medical Responder A terrified mother pulls her child from the bottom of a pool while a neighbor calls 9-1-1 for help. You are the first to arrive at the scene and see the neighbor trying to breathe air into the boy’s limp body. The mother looks to you helplessly.

Types of EMS Systems Fire-based services Third-party services Firefighters first EMRs trained in CPR and first aid Third-party services Private companies Hospital-based services Local hospitals Other systems, such as police and private systems

Evolution of the EMS System 1966 white paper: Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society

The EMS White Paper stated: in 1965 there were 52,000,000 accidental injuries of these accidental injuries there were 107,000 killed, 10,000,000+ disabled and 400,000 permanently impaired the estimated costs were $18 billion (this is $117 billion in 2008 dollars)

The EMS White Paper identified that in 1965 there was a need to inform the public of these statistics. The Paper also identified that most people did not have basic first aid training. There were 49,000 motor vehicle crashes resulting in death or about 24.9 per 100,000 people in 1965. Those who do have some basic training had little to no training for cardio pulmonary resuscitation, childbirth and other life saving techniques. This included police departments, fire departments and many ambulance services.

EMS System NHTSA Technical Assistance Program Assessment Standards First developed in 1973 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) oversees the national EMS system Communications Public information and education Medical direction Trauma systems Evaluation Regulation and policy Resource management Human resources and training Transportation Facilities

Emergency Medical Responders Firefighters Law enforcement personnel Athletic trainers Emergency management personnel Industrial response teams Lifeguards Ski patrol members

Activity You approach a scene of a traffic collision in which a vehicle struck an older woman crossing the street. The driver of the vehicle is sitting on the sidewalk. The older woman is sitting in the middle of the road, crying and trembling. Her leg is bleeding and a section of bone can be seen protruding out of the skin. She has multiple bleeding wounds on the other leg and upper arms. Several lay bystanders have been providing care to the woman. One of the bystanders begins to scream at the driver about driving too fast and not paying attention.
