- A couple weeks back I had a couple requests to put out a video giving a tour of one of our ambulance. Well..... here is that video!
Music: audiojungle.net/item/aggressi... (Messed up and purchased it after making the video.... Hence the watermark)
Where has this channel been all my life?
Big facts
Thought about becoming a police officer but life situations are kind of destroying that dream. Looking into becoming a emt/medic. Was born premature and I believe I was kept alive to help others in any way possible. Stay safe out there man.
David DeBergh do it. Let us know how we can help
I was a mechanic on Ambo's for 7 years. You could tell what neighborhoods the Ambo's were in by their load-outs. The bad neighborhoods had chest seals and Swat-Cats (not the cartoon) all over the place!
Anxiety attacks? At ISU? Nooooo...
It's incredible to see all the bells and whistles that an Ambulance has over there. In Venezuela, public ambulances have nearly nothing inside, the best well equipped ambulance I've seen (for venezuelan standards) was one of the University's Volunteers Firefighters.
Interesting seeing how the ambulances oversea are layed out combined to what we have, awesome video and thanks for sharing!
Hey, I just found your channel and in my opinion it is really awesome! You are doing two of the best and most important jobs in the world! Greetings from Germany 👌🏻🚑
EMTs & paramedics you are the true HEROES THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!
You forgot to mention what paramedics carry most.....patients!
That's true
is this meant to be a joke?
If of course the patient actually needs transport......... many can be treated on scene.
My instructor told me that ALS stands for Ain't Lifting Shit lol. He loved his job but hated carrying patients!
@@Crazyjay325 Haha! Love that one. I was told by one of our training officers that CPR stood for Check Pockets and Run.
Thanks much for posting this video. Very interesting seeing the contents of a ambulance and little about the equipment.
thank you for these awesome videos. Helpful to the general public and even other EMS staff both ALS/BLS. There arent many quality videos explaining ambulances, the crew, the medications, etc. our videos shine light on what ambulances and paramedics are about.
Just found your you tube page. Semi retired paramedic from Tennessee. Keep up the good work!
tennessee is the "Harvard of EMS"-look forward to joining you
*Thank you for this in-depth tour! Very interesting.*
*Your video production quality is going through the roof (music, aerial views, editing etc).*
*Very well done!*
Nice video, this is the first time I know that ambulances carry the bulletproof vest.
Dangerous situations such as domestic violence, shootings, certain mass casualties. EMTs and paramedics always have police secure the scene in those situations but it's an added level of safety.
TheCZcamsGuy Don't criticise them, instead be thankful that our UK paramedics don't have to carry them, and try to make sure they never have to =)
@@theyoutubeguy1 yea your right they have bombs
LorJSR We do have stab vests in the UK, they are standard issue for London Ambulance Service. Not too sure about other parts of the UK though.
some medics around me actually carry a concealed handgun. sometimes on shooting calls medics arrive first and the shooter could still be there.
Great awesome video man. Thanks for doing what you do in you’re state
Cool thank you for the tour.
Shock to the heart and your a medic man you give ambulances a good name
you guys are rockstars!!!
Great content. Thanks for doing these type of videos.
I have epilepsy and other medical issues and I never remember anything so this is so helpful to know what you carry and how you can help someone until you can get them to the hospital.
Look into magnesium therapy
Beautiful rig.
I'm with you on immobilisation. No efficacy has been shown in studies and it honestly also lacks plausibility. Not moving the patient unnecessarily? Sure. Absolutely plausible. The use of a scoop stretcher to pick up a patient also makes perfect sense. But strapping them to a hard, flat, uncomfortable board is hardly sensible, especially as the restraints will cause normal movements, such as breathing, to have an effect on the spine that it usually would not. Same goes for C collars. Sure, limiting movement to some extent may bring an advantage, but entirely fixing the head will cause every attempted movement to cause a tension force onto the spine which it would not without the collar.
I'm just about to finish EMT class on the 15th and than ill go and do my state final if i pass that ill be doing an internship at one of the local ems stations and ive already done a 12 hour ride time with them and they have the Lifepak 15 and it is amazing.
Haha... lifepack 15. Just wait till you find some zolls. Good luck and enjoy your rides. Congrats
Most underrated job in today's society.
I've ridden in ambulances on several occasions as I'm a type 1 diabetic as well as due to cycling injuries; bicycling that is. I'm usually not in a position to see everything when I'm being transported, but I've always been curious to see what's carried in these rigs. Thanks for giving us a tour and thank you for your service in both arenas of service in which you serve.
Here's a question for you. I had a displaced femoral neck fracture following a bicycle wipe out. A fellow cyclist that saw everything from behind was a vascular surgeon and had me stand and put weight on the affected side, the side where the fracture had occurred. Was that a bad idea on his part? He was the one that dialed 911 and he was trying to inform the first res-ponders of the situation at hand and that was what caused him to suspect a femoral head fracture. It was later determined that it was a displaced femoral head fracture at the hospital. Might have his decision to have me stand on the affected leg have caused the displacement of the fracture? By the way, I was able to converse with the paramedics on the ride to the hospital, though I was in a bit of pain. The real pain came when I got the bill later.
Great tour-am ky medic soon moving to Tennessee- as a fellow paramedic- excellent tour of your truck
I love that you have so much more room because you don't need to fit firefighting equipment in there! it looks so neat! lol
I am binge watching In The Chieftain's Hatch and see this on the side, glad I clicked.
Very informative video.
Thank you for using a gimbal.
Wow very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Amazing video be safe out there
so why do The Walking Dead characters keep looking for pharmacies and hospitals? Every ambulance out there is loaded with goodies.
Because hollywood, genius
Theyre not so much goodies as so they are life saving materials and items to help with the process of patient care and assessment. A major part they have all those goodies is for dire situations to help stabilize the Patient until they get to the hospital to where they can intervene with the more widely access of knowledgeable personal and materials so provide the best possible care to get the patient back to what is considered a baseline or stable to where they can be either be released or a follow up to that hospital or a specialist for their condition.
Localin Geemale grate video
Larry Welser wooosh
Goodies? Someone has a problem.
Great video. Note about connecting the Pulmodyne O2Resq CPAP unit to oxygen: it needs to be powered with 50PSI of oxygen to deliver the intended FIO2 and peep. So unscrewing your threaded tubing attachment from your flowmeter and crewing the CPAP generator on is basically a no-no as your flow-meter will not deliver 50PSI even at its highest setting. Your units should come with a disposable quick-connect that snaps into the Ohmeda connection on the panel, or buy a reusable one.
Hey Sam your videos are amazing I love them so much they're very inspirational because I want to become a paramedic mainly I also live here in Colorado got plenty of nice medical agencies here
True heros!
love the content keep up the amazing videos.
Hi! This video very interesting for students in Spain, we learn a lot of your type of work and your form to do this job.
Lorena Chito your coment teje video, is very interesting my friend, good bye Lorena! Thanks
Great overview. Really interesting to see how your trucks are set up (and compare with ours). You guys really do have a progressive agency.
AWSOME RIG! ;)
Awesome video!
Great video
Wow you guys have some really good expensive equipment very impressive. King vision, pump in every unit, auto thumper all the right meds etc and a brand new looking rig to boot very impressive clearly well funded.
Yea im in Reno and we have good protocols and such here too and similar meds but I think u got us beat on equipment.
I'm starting to see why ambulances are so expensive
Watched this to hopefully get over my fear of ambulances
Wood Duck what the heck...........
Why are you afraid of an ambulance? Its not a serial killer it saves lives! Go walk inside one to conquer this irrational fear. Fears are mental blocks. They should all be removed.
@@lass-inangeles7564 one cannot simply remove all fears, indeed irrational fears are named irrational for a reason. But fear is what drives us and keeps us pushing to protect those we love from that it is we fear.
Pozdrawiam z Wrocławia w Polsce . Spokojnej pracy .
It is kinda scary how much our rigs are alike, even down to the interior colors and stretchers for us here in rural Ga. We do have the Lifepak 15 but do not yet have some of your nicer toys like the Lucas or quicktrach. We have to use a cobbled together kit using a french cath, ext tubing, and 14 ga INT. We recently had new protocols allowing us to use a scalpel to cut the skin but are then supposed to use a needle to pierce the cric membrane and just hold it at that. Nice video
Cool! Also I guess it's good the KED and pediatric backboard were never used
Nice I love Iowa!!
0:08 When Prepmedic is about to start a disstrack on SkinnyMedic with his ambulance flex
Hermosa ambulancia! Tiene que ser un placer poder trabajar con ella!
Great Video :D Greetings from a Switzerland Paramedic :D
Died when you said "Hi-tech ALS section" - Rewatched that part 3 times to make sure I was hearing right.. Nice..
I never used the simple O2 masks until we got rid of them. First shift I was in a Squad that didn't have one I had a COPD patient who stated he didn't breath through his nose and needed O2... Murphy's law I suppose. Haven't needed one since
You should have considered an oronasal mask (either a rebreather or non-rebreather type) or a venturi mask. Also in that case, consider non-invasive ventilation (if the patient's conscious).
I still love that I work on Zoll and lifepack machines
I love the Corpuls C3, but t.b.h I`ve never used something different. It is so intuitive, idiot-save while at the same time having everything a monitor possibly needs and the ability to divide it in three parts. Look it up, mate
Thanks for the video................................................... & Thumbs Up :D
For the blood pressure cuff would you use the stethoscope as well
“Extra *SUCTION* cathitor (Bad Spelling)”
Me:WWHHAATT????.
Him:Container Sorry
Me:Well Thank God For That.
I like the Chevrolet Chassy! It looks neat and just like the Chevrolet Express but if you were to add the Patient Compartment Module onto the back. I like it.
ducking awesome, really hoping I can be an emt xx
for a video this good im not sure why they only have 10k subs
In sd county spinal immobilization (spine board) is only used for extraction.
The Zoll is okay I enjoy it
My dad is a firefighter
Tell him thank you for his service please!
Can u do a video on the mobile intensive care unit you had next to this ambulance u showed here
The irony of knowing so many of the same people and not even realizing it until i saw the name on the trucks.... small world!!!
I JUST CHOKED ON MY SALAD DRESSING!
*_SOMEONE CALL DE AMBLANCE!_*
You guys are set up nice. You need front and back rifle plates for those vests. They are made of polymers now and so much lighter.
I think I need to do one about our ambos in South Africa
Probably be a bit of a eye opener
Hey PrepMedic, im from Cologne (Germany). In our Ambulances we have The ,,Corpuls C3" as an Defibrillator. Pleas try it or look it up it'll change your Opinion on Monitors. :)
If u want u can Look up our Ambulances too.
(excuse my english grammar.)
Your Doing a Great Job.
Thank u For ur Service.
Smart triage seems common for us to use in Upstate New York
i dont know what this is but its still good to learn
Nice to see the difference between german and american ambulance :)
"Not gunna show you the code."
*Points camera at a reflective window where he puts in the code*
I challenge you to tell me what the code was though.
3:09 how can all that fit in there
Neat to see how your cars are stocked, the units I work out of are very stocked, seems like your units of a lot of empty space. Dont know what I like more
Super
Cool video man. Your protocols sounds quite a few years behind ours in colorado but still looks like you guys have good stuff going on. Is this a critical care IFT ambulance (based on the logo on the door) or an actual 911 rig?
Interesting to see how other countries set up there trucks. We use the smaller "euro style" trucks but with a better layout we carry the same amount of equipment in a smaller package.
Cool! Thank you for your service! It pisses me off that anyone would try and hurt you guys to the point that you need bulletproof vests :(
I still think the Australian Ambulances look cooler.
Ninja Pickle Australian here and you’re 100% right
I personally like the Canada ambulances the most
@@Lurkqn okie
Dude your in Iowa two you should go to newton Iowa man and see our fire station though nothing much different as our ambulances we use ford and we have a smaller town but that’s cool that you guys are getting freight liners
If you could make a vid about the contents of the medicine box that would be great.
PrepMedic that would be great
I wish my ambulance service has Port Access! Omg would have been so much easier for me while I was having treatment
Hellow, the video is very interesting, it’s a good video, for mi opinion. Thanks propone, good bye
Nitro drips are neat we can't do that here in PA
Very similar to ours even though we use the Big ol Ford 650 rigs.
PrepMedic WHy!?
PrepMedic oh lord good luck with that
You should do a video on the jump bag
Why have the protocols changed for immobilization? Just curious because I thought those protocols were to prevent a possible neck and or back injury from getting worse and or life threatening.
That makes more sense now. Thank you for responding to my question in a timely manner. I really appreciate it.
as far as i know, this is just a theory, without any actual proof. I'm a paramedic in germany and we immoilize everybody whos had a significant mechanism of injury and or back pain.
Mechanism of industry as a standard for medical intervention is on the way out if not generally frowned upon. Seems like EMS all over the world cold do with some standardized practices. Look up the NEXUS and the canadian C-spine rules.
PrepMedic
I've read many of those studies too. We did away with spinal immobilization just based on MOI years ago. They have to meet certain criteria after proper assessment. If a training officer got wind you immobilized a patient "just because they had a significant MOI" you'd be taken off road and grilled about every drug and procedure!
Did I read correct that Germans immobilize everybody with back pain?
lol all of our meds aside from narcs are in the access of everyone. Even have ketamine that as I an EMT can get to. It's quite handy when the medic is already too busy and we can grab the kits.
Have you guys looked into moving to the flowsafe CPAP units at all? We started using them maybe 6-9 months ago and I could never go back way easier than any other setups that I have used in my admittedly brief time in EMS thus far.
Just a request but when going over the more advanced medical stuff could you put it in lamens terms aswell because half the stuff I didnt understand but yet you gained a new subscriber
God bless our first responders
Do you guys carry helmets? Here in Ontario we do for fires, MVC, anytime on a call in the road, high angle rescue(SRU guys)? The ballistic vests are something Im seeing a lot of services starting to adopt. Here in Ontario not as much but a good idea, I think out in BC or Alberta the medics have tac vests they can wear. Interesting video to see what the partners down south use. Good vid!
All i got to say is stretchers are uncomfortable but i love emt’s because without them we’d die in an emergency
Looking at your compartments you seem to have a LOT of empty, unused room inside of them. At many of the compartment (especially the outside compartments) you have to reach quite deep into them to get the equipment out of it.
So either you can get more equipment on board, or you get smaller compartments and therefor a larger room inside of the ambulance, or simply get smaller more compact ambulances.
I had to look it up. To be honest there's one reason why I'd hate it: cleaning and especially disinfecting the ambulance. Although we have everything in compartments, the compartments are filled up pretty well, leaving almost no empty room in between.
That's the Ambulance I used to work on:
czcams.com/video/pA5jsOZXVp8/video.html
I think that the more you have in cupboards the more things get damaged and cannot be used. Same with equipment bags - they get so packet with stuff that things go out of date and they put a strain on zips etc.
of course some things go out of date, it happens with medical equipment just like with medication as well. We still have to have them on board for the rather rare but special emergency scenarios
IM ALSO IN RURAL IOWA!
Do a video where you tour the supervisor medic/fire car
Does the service do (F.O.A.) = Forward operating area to cut response time?
I would like you to have a video tour of the firehouse
