It Doesn’t Take Long to Make a Difference
It doesn’t take long for EMSA crews to make a difference in a patient’s life.
EMSA Paramedic Caleb Coffelt was on his first shift as an independent Paramedic when he responded to a cardiac arrest with EMSA EMT Katie Tooley.
The crew immediately realized the patient’s heart didn’t have a shockable rhythm. Knowing this, the crew performed chest compressions, established an airway and gave medication while transporting the patient to the hospital.
In the back of the ambulance, the patient’s pulse returned. She was released from the hospital after treatment.
Exceeding Expectations
We love to exceed expectations!
EMSA received a message from a mother who wanted to express her appreciation for EMSA Paramedic Jordan Butler and EMT Joshua Bardin.
She called 911 when her child suffered a medical emergency, and was concerned that her child wouldn’t allow EMSA crews to help her.
When Jordan and Josh arrived, she said her daughter immediately felt comfortable with them and allowed them to help. She said she couldn’t thank them enough for being so great with her and keeping her calm through the entire situation.
Some Patients Stay With You Forever
Saving a life is always special, but some patients stay with you forever.
EMSA Paramedic Jordan Manring and EMTs Jonathan Penick and James Deaton responded to a young man in cardiac arrest.
When they arrived at the scene, they learned that bystanders started CPR. At that point, the EMSA crew took over care.
Jordan defibrillated the patient twice before the patient’s pulse returned.
On the way to the hospital, the patient started regaining consciousness. After treatment, the patient was released from the hospital.
As a result, Jordan and James earned their first ROSC pins for saving a life.
