Basic Life Support (BLS)
Basic Life Support ambulances are staffed by two Emergency medical Technicians (EMT). EMT's are trained in airway management (using basic airway adjucts) and can administer oxygen, suction patients, monitor non-medicated IV infusions, maintain immobilization devices and provide care to the acutely injured, including CPR and Automated External Defibrillators (AED). All Medix EMT's perform at peak levels of performance maintained through an in-house skills verification process.
Nurse-staffed Specialty Care Transport (SCT)
Available 24-hours 7 days a week, our state-of-the-art Specialty Care Transport Units are furnished with specialized equipment and medications typically found in hospital intensive care units (including 12-lead cardiac monitors/defibrillators, multi-channel infusion pumps, pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring and ventilators). Led by a team of highly qualified physicians in emergency medicine and operting under the most progressive protocols and standing orders, our nursing staff has extensive experience in their clinical specialty (emergency, critical care and transport nursing) and function under an expanded scope of practice. Upon hire, nurses must pass a formal orientation and field training program that focuses on concepts of transport, trauma, pediatrics and prehospital care. All nurses are required to maintain Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
