EMS has evolved significantly since the Good Samaritan provided first aid in 1500 BC. The Flying Ambulance designed in 1797 helped treat soldiers on the battlefield. Baron Larrey is considered the father of triage and modern EMS, designing medical supply kits and ambulances. The first official ambulance services began in the US in the 1860s-1870s. Advancements like CPR in the 1960s improved pre-hospital care. Today, paramedics can perform many advanced life-saving procedures in the field like intubation, chest tubes, and medications that were once only done in hospitals. EMS now brings emergency medical care directly to the patient.

1500 BCThe Good Samaritan“When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.” – Luke 10Protocols? Standard of Care?

Good Samaritan Laws / ActsLaws which protect LAYPERSONS, from legal ramifications of negligence or injury, should they choose to render aide to other’s, in good faith or with lack of malicious intent.“Ignorance is a simple relief. The non-ignorant must suffer the weight of their enlightenment.” - JimmyPearl of Wisdom:Remember – The mightiest waterfall on Earth, began with but a single drop of rain.

1797 – The Flying AmbulanceDesigned by Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey, chief physician in Napoleon’s army.A method of getting to injured soldiers and treating them, in the midst of battle, was a necessity to survival."When a limb is carried away by a ball, by the burst of a grenade, or a bomb, the most prompt amputation is necessary. The least delay endangers the life of the wounded....I may even assert, that without the assistance of the flying ambulance...a great number would have died from this cause alone.“ – Barron Dominigue Jean Larrey

Barron Dominique Jean Larrey (8 July 1766 - 25 July 1842)Designed and constructed the Flying Ambulance.Designed the first compartmented kits for medical supplies and surgical tools.Father of Triage – Treated patient’s based on severity of their injuries, with no regard to their age, rank, nationality, or affiliation.“Ambulance” - Queen Isabella of Spain in the 15th century.Referred to a tent where the injured were treated, until Larrey’s use of the word.Waterloo : 1815The Duke of Wellington was so impressed with the bravery of Larrey and his men, in treating the wounded under fire, he ordered his men to not fire in the direction of Larrey and his men, saying “give the brave man time to gather up the wounded.”

First Ambulance Services (U.S.)1865 – Cincinnati Ohio & 1869 – New York City, New YorkHospital interns rode in horse drawn carriages to treat the sick and injured.1958 – Mouth-to-mouth taught to rescuers.1960 – CPR was publicized.1973 – National EMS recognition and standards began.1981 – Federal funding available for EMS growth and development.1991 – Accreditation standards set for EMS services.Now – What now???

First aid is the immediate treatment given for any injury or sudden illness before emergency medical assistance arrives. The aims of first aid are to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. Proper first aid procedures include handwashing to prevent infection, performing CPR to restore breathing and circulation, treating choking by administering back blows and abdominal thrusts, treating burns by cooling the area and covering it, treating wounds by cleaning and covering them, and treating snake bites by immobilizing the area and seeking immediate medical help without tying, cutting, sucking or applying ice to the bite area.

1. A disaster is defined as an event that exceeds the ability of a community to cope using its own resources. It results when needs are greater than available resources. 2. Disasters can be classified based on causes into natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, droughts or man-made disasters caused by human intent, negligence or technological failures. 3. Key aspects of disaster management include preparedness through risk evaluation, resource mobilization and training; response during impact through evacuation, search and rescue, and triage; and recovery through rehabilitation and mitigation measures to reduce future risk.

EMS Systems and HistoryRobert Cole

This document discusses communication in pre-hospital care. Effective communication is essential for pre-hospital care as responders must communicate with dispatch, other responders, patients, families, and bystanders. Barriers to communication include language barriers, impairments, medical conditions, and stress. Responders communicate through radio systems, including basic radios, computerized systems, cellular technology, and satellites. Soft skills like introductions, rapport building, questioning techniques, and cultural awareness help responders communicate effectively with patients.

Pressure infusor bagSarthak Jain

The document discusses a pressure infusor, which is a cuff and bladder device used to rapidly infuse sterile fluids into patients through pressurization. It operates by inserting an IV bag into the cuff, inflating the bladder to apply pressure, and using a valve to control airflow and pressure. Pressure infusors were originally designed to speed blood transfusions but are now also used for invasive pressure monitoring procedures by pressurizing saline above a patient's blood pressure. The key applications are rapid fluid infusion and pressure monitoring in pre-op, post-op, intensive care, emergency rooms, surgery, and cardiac catheterization.

Trauma NursingA Y

Dr. Jaymee Shell’s Perspective on COVID-19Jaymee Shell

��

Dr. Jaymee Shell views the COVID-19 pandemic as both a crisis that exposed weaknesses and an opportunity to build stronger systems. She emphasizes that the pandemic revealed critical healthcare inequities while demonstrating the power of collaboration and adaptability. Shell highlights that organizations with gender-diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability, positioning diversity as a business necessity rather than just a moral imperative. She notes that the pandemic disproportionately affected women of color, with one in three women considering leaving or downshifting their careers. To combat inequality, Shell recommends implementing flexible work policies, establishing clear metrics for diversity in leadership, creating structured virtual collaboration spaces, and developing comprehensive wellness programs. For healthcare providers specifically, she advocates for multilingual communication systems, mobile health units, telehealth services with alternatives for those lacking internet access, and cultural competency training. Shell emphasizes the importance of mental health support through culturally appropriate resources, employee assistance programs, and regular check-ins. She calls for diverse leadership teams that reflect the communities they serve and community-centered care models that address social determinants of health. In her words: "The COVID-19 pandemic didn't create healthcare inequalities – it illuminated them." She urges building systems that reach every community and provide dignified care to all.
