Disease relevance of Emergency Medical Technicians

• This study examined whether emergency medical technicians (EMTs) withhold oxygen from hypothetical patients whom emergency physicians would treat with high-flow oxygen, particularly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients [1].
• The use of powder-free natural rubber or latex-free emergency medical examination gloves is especially important to emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, and emergency department personnel to avoid eliciting an allergic reaction in the latex sensitized patient [2].

High impact information on Emergency Medical Technicians

• Administration of epinephrine by emergency medical technicians [3].
• The Institute of Medicine report on emergency medical services for children: thoughts for emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and emergency physicians [4].
• METHODS: A 10-question survey was developed, pilot-tested, and sent to EMS providers as a part of their National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians reregistration materials [5].
• SETTING: Large urban municipal EMS system staffed by paramedics and emergency medical technicians trained to operate automatic or semiautomatic defibrillators (EMT-Ds) [6].
• Routine carbon monoxide screening by emergency medical technicians [7].

Associations of Emergency Medical Technicians with chemical compounds

• Powder-free latex as well as non-latex gloves are now available to emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, and emergency department personnel [8].
• The Department of Community Health and Psychiatry was contracted by the Ministry of Health to assist with the implementation of a pilot programme in the Western Health Region to train fire fighters as basic level Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and was responsible for its design, implementation and monitoring for the first 18 months [9].
• OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate that basic emergency medical technicians (EMT-Bs) are able to effectively administer nebulized albuterol to asthma patients in the out-of-hospital environment [10].
• Because of its ease of use and short duration of action, Entonox appears to be well suited for the treatment of pre-hospital pain by Emergency Medical Technicians [11].

Gene context of Emergency Medical Technicians

• A convenience sampling of adults who were transported by rescue units judged to be in CHF by treating emergency medical technicians trained in advanced life support (ALS EMTs) was included [12].
• Sources of stress among emergency medical technicians (Part I): What does the research say [13]?
• This investigation assesses the effects of such a threefold increase in the summer population of the Cape Cod area upon the accuracy of emergency medical technicians' diagnoses and treatments [14].
• Bruce Grotewiel, EMT-P, director of the Jefferson City Ambulance Service in Missouri, was named 1989 EMS administrator of the year by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) [15].
• These predictors were the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Mechanical score, block 1 grade, block 3 grade, block 3 student hours, block 4 grade, block 4 student hours, and National Registry Emergency Medical Technician Test 1 grade [16].
