SCOPE for FN Emergency Medical Paramedic Iraq:The EMT-P is clinically supervised by the site lead or other physician extenders on the work site and ultimately reports to the Program Manager
The EMT-P reports to the Program Manager or a designated Manager or Site Lead as directed by the Program Manager. The EMT-P will deliver services in one of two settings: (1) Field Health Unit (2) Medical/trauma hospital.
The EMT-P Interviews patients, measures vital signs (i.e., pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure, weight, and height), and records the information on patients’ charts. EMT may be required to draw and collect blood samples from patients and prepare specimens for laboratory analysis.
The EMT-P will perform emergency skills, such as managing respiratory, trauma, and cardiac emergencies, and patient assessment. Typically, an EMT-P will deal with bleeding, fractures, airway obstruction, cardiac arrest, and emergency childbirth.
EMT-P provides more extensive pre-hospital care than do EMTs. In addition to carrying out the procedures of the other levels, paramedics administer medications orally and intravenously, interpret electrocardiograms (EKGs), perform endotracheal intubations, and use monitors and other complex equipment.
All services shall be provided in accordance with established standards, principles and ethics of the profession, applicable professional specialty organizations, and the high-quality standard for which CHS is recognized.
