T...In our service we have critical care paramedics. They work on their own dedicated ambulance or on one of the HEMS choppers. They have extra drugs such as ketamine & midazolam = a few others I believe. They have CPAP and I'm not sure but they may have ultrasound equipment to detect bleeding in the abdomen, or it may only be on HEMS. Apparently they have some other tricks up their sleeve but I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to find out myself at the mo. Unlike us stretcher monkies they are'nt part of the deployment plan. They can self task to serious jobs or may be given them via control as usual. Still early days yet. The uni course is 9 months plus more hospital placements. Hope that helps.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224939870747906286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051283404650044746.post-53839229151642959582009-03-19T20:58:00.000+00:002009-03-19T20:58:00.000+00:00Whats a critical care ambulance?Whats a critical care ambulance?Marthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073227025663059070noreply@blogger.com
