Whether intubating the patient in cardiac arrest, dislodging an obstruction, or simply assisting respirations, the speed and effectiveness of your treatment as a paramedic can mean the difference between life and death for your patients. So, let’s review three critical airway management steps you can’t afford to miss: assessment, equipment, and intervention.

Whether it's a STEMI, stroke, trauma incident—or even a mass casualty incident like a hurricane or multi vehicle accident—treatment time is often a dominant factor when determining the post-treatment wellbeing of a patient.

Today I read an article in the Washington Post about a 76 year old EMT who started his career at 65 and only retired from active duty this year because the physical demands of the job became too much for him. He still works there though as an instructor/mentor. We have had employees here who have worked into their 70’s before.
