Who are EMS?

Who are EMS?

• A. Professionals who provide advanced life support and care after initial CPR.
• B. Bystanders who arrive first
• C. Non-medical volunteers
• D. Police responders

Answer: (A)

EMS stands for Emergency Medical Services. They are the trained medical professionals—such as EMTs and paramedics—who provide advanced life support and ongoing care after the initial CPR and use of an AED by lifeguards or bystanders. They assess and stabilize the patient, manage airway and breathing, control bleeding, administer medications as appropriate, monitor the condition, and transport to a hospital. While bystanders or police responders may help at the scene, they do not deliver the medically advanced care that EMS provides.
