Competent EMT with comprehensive work experience at hospitals and private ambulance services. Expert in assessing patients and determining type of treatment required. Responds quickly to emergency situations and demonstrates strong commitment to patient care and safety.
I admitted patients for procedures to include vital signs, IV's and administering fluids via IV, blood draws/lab work, blood sugar checks. I also discharged patients after surgical procedures making sure patients were stable enough after conscious sedation to go home. I also draped patients before I performed sterile suture removals, wound care and dressing changes. I also assisted with Paracentesis procedures to include draining fluid from the patients abdomen into glass containers. When needed I would stand in on procedures and monitor patients vitals for PVC's heart rhythm abnormalities. I did work alongside a physician daily.
