EMS Centre

This will be the location for EMS units, similar to Patrol Centre for Police Patrol units. Please post here in the following format:
Format:
Dispatch: (This will be over the radio, with specific information on the EAT)
Say
"COPA to" the responding unit(s), nature of incident, and address
(If it is a significant building, then just say what building it is, a
specific location in the building and what road)

As for the call, units would say:

-Responding
-State their arrival on the radio
-Details
about what's going on inside (Like I usually do ex: "I put the
ambulance in High idle... get the jump bag out of the side cabinet...
talk to the kid... get the stretcher... place kid on stretcher... leave
for hospital")
-Say how many they are transporting and where the are transporting ("Transporting one juvenile male to ERT hospital")
-Clear of hospital.

Please note, this can take place over several posts and should. Do not spend your entire time here though, rember 50/50 split between official calls/break time and here


EG:
Dispatch: "COPA
to BLS-1, Johnson Private School on Fifth Avenue, in the Nurse's Office,
pediatric fall victim, complaining of leg pain."

EAT:
BLS1
Johnson Private School
BLS Medical
A
call was received from the Johnson Private School nurse of a child in
her office who had fallen on the playground, and is complaining of
severe leg pain. Nurse believes it is broken and guardians are
unreachable at this time.
(You may also get flagged down, etc. This format can come from the poster in the first post, or from Dispatch officers that may assign little ems only calls here. So check regularly )

Post-BLS-1 Responding...
Later post, or after a break- BLS-1 On scene,
I put the
ambulance in High idle... get the jump bag out of the side cabinet...

Post-talk to the kid... get the stretcher... place kid on stretcher... leave
for hospital
"Transporting one juvenile male to ERT hospital"
Post-Clear of hospital.

((Well a little more details on how you're treating the victim wouldn't hurt Unless the injury is of such a nature that a load and go is warranted, such as a severed artery. Or the other way around, if the injury is very light.))

(Those weren't full posts just the basic idea of it. Like getting the truck parked and what not could be a few lines, then get the gear and go to the victim, report status. It's a quick overview )

"COPA to BLS-1, Pholxind Shpping centre, Roots on fourth floor, elderly collapse, complaining of neck pain"

EAT:
BLS1
Phoxlind Shpping Centre
BLS Medical
A call was received from the Roots store in Phoxlind Shopping Centre on the fourth floor from a employee that an elderly male has fallen is is unable to get up, complaining of neck pain.

"BLS-1 received, Phoxlind Shopping Center."

*I go out to BLS-1, clip a portable radio to my belt, clip the mic to my shirt and step in the drivers seat. I shut the door, sign into the EAT a quickly scan the call info. I start the engine, put it in drive, and drive down the driveway. I press the red "Master" button to turn on all of the lights, then pull out into the road.


*I pull into the parking lot, with a general knowledge of the mall I park by the North entrance, Roots is on the north side. I pul up to the curb by the entrance.

"BLS-1's out." I put the mic down, put the ambulance in high idle, take out the keys, and clip them to a belt loop, cole grabs the chart, and I step out.

'This'll probably be a transport so let's save a second trip and just bring the stretcher up now, bring the back board too just in case'

*I go into a side cabinet to retrieve the jumpbag, then I go into the backboard cabinet and get the bag.*

'Hey Putter! Cole and I are going to head up, I got the bag for the backboard, so you just bring the stretcher and the board when you're ready.

((Do you want me to edit this post with treatment or make a new post?))

(new post)

*Cole follows me in, we go ahead of a line for an elevator and step in, we get up to Roots, security waves us over to the counter, where there is an elderly man on the ground next to the counter. I put down the jumpbag and kneel next to him.*

'Hello sir, what's your name?'

'I'm Ralph Douglas, how are you?'

'I'm good thanks, what happened here.'

'I was walking up to the counter to pay, and I lost my footing and hit my head and neck on the counter'

'Alright don't move, okay? I don't want you to injure yourself more.'

*I get a BP cuff and stethoscope out of the bag, I wrap it around his arm, and take the blood pressure.

'130/85' I say to Cole. I see Putter rolling the stretcher into the store.

'Is the pain more of an ache or a sharp pain?'

'Well, on my head it's more of a general headache, but in my neck it's really sharp, I could barely even move it when I tried.'

'Alright, well as I said don't try to move it again, you could hurt yourself more. Are you here with anybody?'

'No.'

'Are you breathing alright? No difficulty?'

'Yeah, breathings fine.'

'Alright, well we are going to take you to the ERT hospital. Just to be safe we are also going to put you on a backboard so you can't move your neck, back or head, it's just to be safe.'

'Alright'

*I tape his legs and feet together, then Putter and I carefully slide him onto the backboard, we strap him down, then we lift him onto the stretcher, we buckle those straps then roll him out of the store. We cut through the elevator lines and ride down to the first floor and go out to the ambulance. Cole and Putter lift the stretcher in while I put away the jumpbag. I open the side door and stick my head in.*

'You guys all set?'

'We're good.' Cole says after he takes a seat.

*I shut the door and return to the cab. I put the keys in the ignition, put it in drive then pull away.*

"BLS-1 to COPA, transporting one male to ERT hospital."

*I pull into the emergency room at the ERT hospital. I turn off the master switch, shut off the ambulance then step out. Putter take the chart while I get out the stretcher and roll him in. I hand over the information to the nurse, then bring man to the appropriate room.*

'Feel better sir, Merry Christmas.'

'Same to the three of you, thanks so much for the help.'

*I put the stretcher back in the ambulance, and pull it over to the break room.*

"BLS-1 clear of ERT hospital."

"BLS-1 from COPA, be advised, we've got a report of a fall victim at the convention centre in Phoxlind. A 18 year old female tripped on her drss and tumbled down 2 flights of stairs. Possible broken arm and or leg. Respond please"

"BLS-1 got it, Phoxlind Convention Center."

*I step into the drivers seat of BLS-1, I start the engine as William steps in, press the red 'Master' button to turn on the lights, and drive onto the Trulit Interpass.*

*As we arrive into the convention center, I spot a man in a security jacket holding a radio waving at us. I pull up next to him, double-parking along some parked cars.*

"BLS-1's out at the convention center."

*I turn on the directional bar in the rear, press the High Idle button, take out the keys and step out.*

'Alright Masto, like a said a few hours ago, you'll do vitals and initial treatment, I'll be writing the chart and assisting you where you need. Jumpbag in the the cabinet closest to your passenger door, I'll grab the chart.'

*I lock the ambulance, and follow the guard into the building.*

*I walk up to the woman on the floor, she is leaning against the side of the staircase, with a guard and some bystanders kneeling down by her.*

'Hey, I'm Doug McGuire with ERT EMS. What happened here?'

'I was coming down the stairs, and on one of the top steps, I tripped on this f'ing dress that I knew would be too long.

*Under cause I write 'stair-fall', under dispatch, I write 'Fall victim w/ injuries'

'Alright, so what's mostly hurting right now?'

'Well my left here, I can't move it at all, and when I first fell, I landed sideways on my foot, and the leg just collapsed. And my left arm too, in the upper part it feels really bad.'

*Under Chief Complaint I write arm & leg pains.*

((Chart to be continued))

*Grabs the jump bag and exits the ambulance
*Racking his memory trying to remember what to do first
*Begins checking the woman's temperature and finds the woman's temperature, sees the thermometer flash 98.9.
'Normal Temperature.'
*Checks the woman's pulse and finds it is 72 to 82
'Pulse 72 to 82'
*looks with the corner of his eye at the woman's chest checking the respiratory rate
'Respiratory rate 32'
*Places the BP cuff around the womans upper arm
*Pumps the BP Cuff Bulb up to 92, then to 102.
'BP 93/69 mmHg and 133/93'

*I write down the vitals. as William calls them out*

'What's your name and date of birth?'

'Ashley Newhouse, and I'm 18. March 5, 1992'

'Alright Ashley, have you ever been to our ERT hospital before?'

'I think I was, after a car accident 2 years ago, I can't remember off the top of my head though.'

'Alright, well we can have the hospital staff check if you're in our records or not. Do you remember the injuries from teh car accidient?'

'It was just an evaluation, I was out a few hours later.'

'Oh, alright. Are you have any back neck or head pains?'

'No, no, it's just my arm and leg.

'Alright, well, My partner here is going to splint your leg for transport. I'll be right back with the stretcher, and once we are in the ambulance we'll get you some ice for your arm, it doesn't seem broken to me.'

*I stand up and lean next to Masto*

'Just get a splint on that leg, I'll be right back.'

*I pick up the chart and take it to the ambulance, I open the back doors, and climb in. I put the chart on the counter top, then get some blankets out of a cabinet and place them on the stretcher. I hope out, push the bumper up, then pull out the stretcher. I twist the knob to release it from the ambulance, then shut the doors, and roll it back into the building*

*Grabs a splint and gently places it on the woman's left leg and make sure it is tight.
*Spots McGuire with a stretcher

((Just wondering am I allowed to dispatch a call here? I am a dispatcher afterall.))

*I roll the stretcher next to the girl, and lower it. I change the angle of the head end of it to a summer angle that she is already at.*

'Alright Ashley, we are going to left you on to the stretcher, buckle you in, and we'll be on our way. Did you come with anybody?'

'Yeah, uhh...'

'I'm with her.' A younger looking adult interrupts.

'Alright are you coming to the hospital with her?'

''Yeah, I will'

'Alright, do you want to drive yourself, or ride with the ambulance?'

'I'll follow, I know where your complex is. Right across from the country club my parents go to.'

'Yeah, only thing, you have to obey all traffic laws, you can't go through red light, you can't follow the ambulance too close, cops can still pull you over and all of that.'

'Alright, don't worry, I'll start heading there.

*The man walks out.*

*William and I lift the girl onto the stretcher, he takes her legs, I take her upper body, supporting the head and neck on my arms. I throw one of the blankets over her. Then we lift the stretcher and let the wheels drop. We roll it out to the ambulance, put it in, and I put the jumpbag back in the cabinet.*

'Alright Masto, you'll ride with her in the back, I'll drive. You ready?'

(sorry for butting into the EMS thread, but if you get permission you should dispatch some calls in the patrol center 2.)

M.Daniels wrote:((Just wondering am I allowed to dispatch a call here? I am a dispatcher afterall.))

Yes, just don't do it all the time, I need my EMS available, at least one ambulance at all times

M. Cressler wrote:(sorry for butting into the EMS thread, but if you get permission you should dispatch some calls in the patrol center 2.)

Calls in patrol are seldom dispatched, because mostly you guys do it yourselves, but I do them sometimes

((Cool!))

*I shut the door, and walk up to the cab. I put the keys in, put it in drive, and drive to the complex*

"BLS-1 to COPA, transporting one adult female to ERT hospital. Be advised, her friend is on his way to our complex now, he'll be parking in the visitor lot, just advise whoever is at the gate to allow him entry."

Dispatch: "COPA to BLS-1, PEMS has requested we take a patient transfer of a transplant recipient from the airport to Kitson General. See EAT"

EAT:

A medical tranfer supposed to be handled by PEMS was unable to be completed due to a lack of available units, and we were requested to take thepatient to Kitson immediately.Patient will be travelling with wife and personal nurse. No drugs will need to be administered, however patient is on drugs at the current time, and is requested to be transfered via ambulance due to inability to leave his stretcher. Leave yours at the EMS depot, he has his own!

((Will revise if anything is wrong))

(Just don't forget to include the ride to the hospital on the way there, as well as turning the pateint over to Kitson crews)

"Copy that BLS-1, I'll inform them you're en route"

I call over to the Kitson Transplant Clinic
'Hi, ERT calling, we've got a BLS transfer coming in for a transplant scheduled later this afternoon. Should be arriving in 10 minutes or so, can I have a team out there to assist with turnover? We've got a personal nurse with him'
'Yeah, shouldn't be a problem, inform your ambulance to go to the Transfer door, not ER, he'll get in quicker that way'
'Thanks, will do'

"William, don't go in the regular ER door, there's a special transfer door around back, there will be a team back out there" I say as I check on the EAT 911 unanswered calls to ensure there isnt anything else I could be doing. With no 911 calls unanswered, I continue writing notes for press conferences in the near future

"10-4"
*Holds the airhorn down at a vehicle refusing to get out of the way, but eventually pulls over
*After swerving in and out of traffic arrives at the hospital.

*Parks the ambulance in a parking spot
"Should I take the ambulance back or should I get a ride back to the airport?"

(It's your own ambulance, they only had a stretcher.. They flew in)

(Then I completly misunderstood.)
*Begins heading back towards the complex, stopping to get a little midnight snack before returning

(That's fine)
"BLS-1, advise when in service again"

Patient info: 43, male,Tom Johnson, no known medical history.
Should be a supervisor car outside of the booth with a yellow beacon flashing on top and first aid is being administered for a head injury sustained when victim fell.

"Supervisor responding to scene to provide medical assistance" I say over the radio as I walk into the break room and see that call flashing on the EAT-view screen.
I pick up my bag, zip up my jacket and get in my Supervisor truck, unplugging it from the charger.
I turn on the lights and siren and roll out of the complex code 3 through the light traffic, and arrive on scene within three minutes
"Supervisor is pulling up to the scene, be advised I am making contact with first aider and will radio patient status when confirmed. ETA on the ALS?" I say over the radio as I pull up behind the shift supervisor's rugged pickup.
Jumping out, I grab the red ALS bag and the green drug case from my trunk before heading into the booth.
(Will continue once someone responds to the scene)

I pull up on the scene, get out the moniter, strecther and Jump bag and I walk over to the victim.

"Zach, you get the patient under control, I'll talk with the first responder"
I approach the main providing first aid
'Hi, I'm Jason Riles from the ERT, we just need to know what happened.. Where were you when the accident happened?'
'Well I was on my break in back, and a driver yelled for help when he just collapsed. We don't know what happened. Will he be okay?'
'We're working on him right now, we'll do our best. We think he had a stroke. Have you notified his next of kin.'

"Alright" I say as I secure an IV and start an ECG 12 Lead. Bradycardia I know that he needs to be transported ASAP so I begin to get him on the strecher

*I help Zack with the strechter and load it into the back of the ambulance*
'Alright Zack, you take him to the hospital, I'll see if I can't get anyhting else useful before I pack up and head to the hospital with it..'
*While Zack prepares to leave, I go and talk to the supervisor*
'I just called his wife, she's going to Kitson now,'
'He will actually be staying at the ERT Hospital on our Complex on the interpass, can you call her back and let her know. She'll jsut have to check with security at the gate, and they'll get her in.'I reply
'Okay, well I'm going to go call her back, anything else you need?'
'Yes, do you have a personnel file on him, or any medical records?'
'Yeah, here's a copy, I had one made and brought over shortly after I called 911'
'Thanks' I say as I put it on my clipboard, get in my driver's seat, turn the lights down to low power and radio COPA
"COPA, be advised, I've got patient information, we'll be leaving the scene momentarily en route to the Hospital"
I hear a siren flick on just as I put down my radio and see Zack's Ambulance pulling onto the road. I turn on my engine and follow him, running my lights on low power and no siren to the hospital
