Emergency Medical Technician-Basic

Summary

Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-B) responds to emergency calls to provide efficient and immediate care to the critically ill and injured, and to transport the patient to a medical facility.

The EMT-B uses the knowledge of the condition of the patient and the extent of injuries and the relative lacerations and staffing of emergency hospital facilities to determine the most appropriate facility to which the patient will be transported, unless otherwise directed by medical direction. The EMT-B reports directly to the emergency department or communications center the nature and extent of injuries, the number being transported and the destination to assure prompt medical care on arrival.

The EMT-B identifies assessment findings, which may require communications with medical control, for advice and for notification that special professional services and assistance be immediately available upon arrival at the medical facility.
