eHEALTH|August 2019

In today’s time, the patient’s life depends on how fast they can be brought under medical supervision and treatment. The emergency medical services(EMS) hold huge significance in cases of strokes, cardiac arrest, and life-threatening accidents, providing immediate care to patients, says Reetika Bose of Elets News Network (ENN).

EMS: The Lifeline For Critical Patients

In any emergency, time is considered very crucial. Sometimes even a minute matters the most when it comes to the battle of life and death. The value of time should be given much more importance, to be able to take quick and right decisions. Any delay in time, or a simple mistake can cost a patient his life. It is a well-accepted fact that a patient who receives basic care from trained professionals and is transported to the nearest healthcare facility within 15-20 minutes of an emergency has the greatest chance of survival.

Talking of timely patient care, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an essential part of the overall healthcare system as it save lives by providing care immediately. With the country advancing in nearly all the sectors, the healthcare sector is not behind with regards to providing patient care and proper healthcare facilities in the quickest time possible.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES – THE NEED OF THE NATION

Emergency Medical Service or EMS is of immense importance to the world at large. Losing a loved one to illness or an accident is painful. However, what often stings even more, is the realisation that they might have been alive today if medical action was taken swifter and more urgently.

Highlighting the importance of EMS, Dr Shailesh Shetty, Consultant, Emergency Medicine - Aster CMI Hospital said, “Emergency Medical services cater to the immediate needs of a person requiring medical attention. They are formed by a group of trained personnel and include a paramedic, driver and a doctor depending on the case.”
