How important is it to have a Paramedic ambulance arrive quickly at a medical call?
Rapid ambulance response is critical in a medical emergency. While EMTs and First Responders play a significant role in stabilizing ill and injured patients to prepare them for treatment and transport, the early arrival of Paramedics allows advanced lifesaving treatments and procedures to be performed immediately. In the case of trauma, treatment and transport should begin within just a few minutes and a critical patient needs to arrive at the appropriate hospital less than 1 hour from the injury.
