This depends on the type of ambulance and the area it is operating in. Ambulances are either basic life support (BLS) or advanced life support (ALS). BLS trucks have EMT-basics instead of paramedics. ALS trucks legally must have one paramedic on board, and either an emt-basic in a rural setting, or a second paramedic in a metropolitan area. However, it is all up to the agency staffing the ambulance.

How do paramedics take you in to the hospital if you have Swine Flu?
It depends on how mobile you are. Assuming the person with the swine flu is very ill since they called paramedics and need hospital care, then they would likely be having respiratory shortness of breath, cough, fever and other serious symptoms. The paramedics would probably use a gurney or rolling bed to move the person from home to an ambulance and then from the ambulance into the hospital emergency room. On the way in the ambulance (and perhaps in the home before moving the patient to the ambulance), paramedics will provide first responder aid to stablize the person, monitoring, providing oxygen, etc.
