Types of Important Emergency Medical Equipment

Mask for Bag Valve - It is a device used to manually provide rescue breaths to a patient who is not breathing sufficiently. The apparatus links an oxygen cylinder.

Suction System - A suction unit is helpful to remove secretions and fluids from a patient's airway that might clog the patient and cause significant respiratory difficulties.

Medications Bag - It is a handbag-sized bag used to carry medications for paramedics to give to clients. The bag's cushions preserve the ampoules contained inside them. Medication is stored in discrete pouches or beneath elastic bands.

Trauma/Spinal Boards - These are unpadded patient-handling catty stretchers intended to give stiff support to patients with suspected spinal injuries. They may use them in combination with a spider harness' and 'head blocks,' which can hold the patient to the board even more.

Defibrillator with ECG Monitor - There are a variety of versions available, ranging from simple automated models to complex multi-parameter monitors. The most basic kinds are automatic, and the paramedic connects the monitor to the patient and follows the monitor's voice instructions.

Incubators - Paramedics trained in intermediate and advanced life support can monitor infants in an incubator. These are helpful to keep newborns warm while they carry in ambulances.

Ventilators - Ventilators are medical equipment used by Advanced Life Support paramedics to mechanically transfer air into the lungs of a patient who is not breathing or is breathing insufficiently.

Syringe Drivers and Infusion Pumps - These devices regulate the rate at which an infusion administrates a patient. Advanced Life Support paramedics often utilize them while transporting patients between hospitals.

Heamogulcometer - The Haemogulcometer will be one of the most well-known EMS devices, particularly among diabetes patients. The Haemogulcometer, often known as the HGT meter, measures a client's blood glucose level.

Kendrick Extrication Tool - This gadget, sometimes known as a KED, removes victims of traffic accidents from motor vehicles. This semi-rigid brace maintains an anatomically neutral posture for the head, neck, and torso.

A Cervical Collar - A neck brace should be worn by patients who have a suspected head or neck injury, which is an adjustable collar that snugly fits around the neck and prevents head and neck movement, which might exacerbate the problem.
