Assessment and Stabilization

The first step in providing emergency care is to assess the patient's condition and stabilize their vital signs. This includes checking the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). You will also need to assess the patient's level of consciousness, pain, and any other injuries. Once the patient has been stabilized, you can begin to transport them to the hospital.

Transportation

When transporting a patient, it is important to do so in a way that minimizes discomfort and further injury. This includes using proper lifting techniques and securing the patient in the ambulance. You will also need to monitor the patient's vital signs and provide any necessary care during transport.

Documentation

Proper documentation is essential for providing quality emergency care. This includes documenting the patient's assessment, treatment, and transport. Accurate documentation can help to ensure that the patient receives the best possible care and can also protect you from legal liability.
