Our goal is to provide the best medical care possible, as a part of that goal we are now offering Advanced Life Support (ALS). This service extends far beyond basic life support, adding in numerous advanced therapy's. ALS level transports often require intensive patient care and monitoring, requiring the most up date training and equipment available. A large majority of our practicing Paramedics currently work for or are retired from area 911 service's.
The attending PMT Paramedic will provide our patients with top-notch medical care and is fully capable of performing the following invasive and non-invasive medical procedures: Cardiac ECG Monitoring, External Defibrillation, Transcutaneous Pacing, Intravenous Cannulation (IV), Intraosseous (IO) Access and Infusion, Surgical Cricothyrotomy, Needle Decompression of Tension Pneumothorax, mechanical ventilation and capnography monitoring, and much more. Because your health is important to us, we ensure that you receive the best medical treatment available while in our care.
PMT recognizes that at times a patients best chance for survival is urgent transport to a specialty care center often many miles away. When deemed necessary by a physician Positive Medical and our staff are fully capable and equipped to evacuate the most unstable patients to facilitate life saving procedures at another facility. PMT is currently the only locally owned ambulance service to offer a full compliment of Critical Care Services including: advanced respiratory care, life sustaining medication drips with multiple IV pumps, balloon pump and cardiac cath lab evacuations, the continuation of whole blood transfusions, chest tubes, and many more specialty care procedures. Often these patients require more than 1 paramedic or a nurse to facilitate the advanced therapy, our dispatchers can accommodate for additional personnel requirements upon request. An over the phone patient care report to the en-route Medic may also be requested to prepare ICU staff and PMT Medic's for the transport. PMT paramedics certified to handle these critical patients undergo quarterly refresher training and re-certification, they are ready at a moments notice to serve your patients.
