Ambulances

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.

The Red Cross's Disaster Relief responds to approximately 70,000 disasters in the U.S., which range from natural and, man-made disasters. Disaster Relief provides food, shelter and, emotional health services to assist individuals and families. The Red Cross also feeds the emergency workers and the volunteers that help meeting their goal to meet people's immediate emergency needs.The Red Cross has many ways to get involved, Volunteers are vital to the Red Cross to help them aid people where disaster has struck. Red Cross has many different branches to it as well.

It has to have its lights and sirens going, and it has to slow down for the red light to make sure the intersection is clear to proceed. But, yes, it is legal for an ambulance to proceed through a red light.

The HCPCS Level II code for an emergency ambulance transport is A0427, which indicates an ambulance service, basic life support, emergency transport. If the transport is specifically for a possible broken leg, it would still fall under this code, as it pertains to emergency medical transport regardless of the exact diagnosis. Additional codes may be used to specify the medical condition, but A0427 covers the ambulance service itself.

the with of an ambulance is 80 feet

The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was founded after the first Crusade captured Jerusalem in 1099.

The Order consisted of a group of Knights, men from noble European families who took vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and care of the sick. In Jerusalem, the Order established a hospital to care for sick pilgrims who had travelled to the Holy Land. Later it took on a military role, and took control of Crusader castles. The Order's hospitals treated the sick and wounded without distinction of race, colour or creed.

Ambulance service is just that; a service. Usually a private company, providing a service (showing up and quickly getting you to a hospital when you call 911). They don't get paid by the hospital or the "ambulance fairy", so generally when you are transported by ambulance, you get a bill from them as you would any other business. Many times insurance covers the cost, and if someone has no insurance, you get a bill for the cost of the driver, the medical staff, insurance etc... the costs of emergency transportation. Think of it as a "super-qualifed medical taxi".

It depends on the Country. For example UK they are Blue, Spain they are Orange, In the US normally Red and White. Though Spain are are going to be changing the colour to match most of Europe, blue.

you put your foot on the gas petal slightly more than you would when your driving a car or truck then you put your lights on and go to the area you need.

So that drivers ahead of it on the road can read it (correctly) as AMBULANCE in their rear-view mirrors, and yield the right of way.

If the word was not reversed, the drivers of the cars ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA."

Of course, if it has flashing lights and sirens going, they would yield to it anyway. Perhaps this was done so that drivers would not mistake an ambulance for a police vehicle with similar lights.

Ambulance crashes can be all too common, especially in rural areas. It is estimated that 6,500 ambulance crashes occur each year. This estimate includes minor accidents also. EMS Networks reports that between May 2007 to April 2009 there was 466 ambulance crashes reported to the news.

Tatkalin seva yatayat means ambulance. Very few people call it that!

Bcoz the name written in opposite direction looks on the correct direction when viewed through the mirror so that is the reason…..if a vehicle going in front of the ambulance can read it correctly and give a way to go a head

911 911 911 911 911 This is a great question 'cause people get all confused about what's paid for and what's not paid for and what ambulance is closest to them, etc. Always dial 911 in case of a health emergency. They know where you are calling from and where the nearest ambulance dispatch is located, and if you describe a particular problems (i.e., burns) will know the most appropriate center for you to be seen. Never waste time. 911 is for all medical emergencies and the people on the other end of the phone are trained to do triage while the ambulance is one the way. It is an incredible service that's saved the lives of many of us. Good luck!

The Star of Life

The blue, six-pointed star with the symbol of a snake spiraling around a staff is known as the Star of Life.

The symbol was originally designed by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. After the trademark expired, the symbol was given to the National Registry of EMTs for use as their logo. This symbol has traditionally remained to signify an Emergency Medical Technician or their equipment.

Each aspect of the Star of Life actually has a distinct meaning, with each point of the star representing a distinct event that occurs during the typical medical situation. The snake-entwined staff in the center has many theories on its origin, and is the subject of much debate.

This question is somewhat vague. But enroute, a Paramedic( or EMT) continues assessing the pt, rechecks vitals, and deals with non-life-threatening injuries. Paramedics are also qualified to intibate pts and start IVs

Hi!

You should state the address of where the victim is, the time the incident occured, what has happened (if you know), how old the victim is...i am pretty sure that's all you need.

Hope that answers your question!!

The aim of this is to allow people driving in front of the vehicle (ambulance) to see the word "AMBULANCE" when he/she looks in the rear view mirror. If the word was not reversed, the driver of the car ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA"
