Do they place an EMT and a paramedic in an ambulence together?

This is the most common practice, actually! It doesn't make sense for two Paramedics to work on the same truck. A good Paramedic should be able to function effectively by him/herself in the back of the ambulance. Sometimes, a patient's condition requires more than one person in the back of the ambulance. In this case, one EMT can drive and another (from a fire department, police service, or assisting EMT service) can help the Paramedic. Typically, however, the Paramedic and his/her partner can stabilize a patient on scene and the Paramedic can help the patient in the back while his/her partner drives to the hospital. (Not to mention, Paramedics make sometimes two or more times as much money as an EMT-Basic. So it's good fiscal sense to spread their skills around the covered service area as much as possible.)


What is back up for an ambulance?

This depends on what country you are in but in the UK there generally is no back up for an ambulance. An emergency ambulance can be crewed by a paramedic and technician, by two technicians, by a paramedic and EMT-1, or by a technician and EMT-1. Sounds confusing eh?... it is! Where less senior clinicians (technicians and EMT-1's) work together and require additional skills to stabilize a patient before making way to the nearest hospital, they may be able to call for the assistance of a paramedic who may be free to assist and respond to the scene in an ambulance car... Where this is not possible the crew will simply transfer a patient as an am emergency admission to hospital. A paramedic may also request additional assistance from a more senior clinician such as BASICS doctors who may (usually for major incidents) respond to the scene to assist as needed. For certain incidents such as a road traffic collision, any clinician, using guidelines may call for the assistance of a helicopter medical team (if available) to assist in the swift transfer of time critical patients. Beyond this, ambulance staff have the remote support of a control center with skilled staff to provide information to them. Other countries such as the United Sates and Canada have similar backup plans in place though they may very from region to region.

How are Heart Stents Used?

Heart stents, made of a small mesh tube are used to prevent heart attacks by keeping coronary arteries open. They are often inserted following non-invasive procedures such as angioplasty, which also works to keep blood flowing through arteries. Stents are inserted via a balloon catheter, which guides the stent into place in the narrowed artery. The balloon is deflated and the stent then expands to hold open the artery. Heart tissue heals around the stent over a period of several weeks. Stents sometimes contain medicine to lessen the possibility of reblockage due to plaque.
