Did you know? Uncontrolled bleeding is responsible for 35% of pre-hospital trauma deaths and 40% of deaths within the first 24 hours (National Institute of Health). Bleeding control kits provide rescuers and bystanders with immediate access to the products they need to save lives. #bleedkit #safety #firstaid #training #safetyfirst

We've got a few initiatives to 📚 educate our community, 📉 reduce non-emergency use of 911 EMS, and 🚑 support financial stability for the future with the support of our neighbors, towns, and service users (residents or visitors). An important part is this "Use EMS for Emergencies", a public education campaign. We'll be sharing these regularly on social media as individual posts or reels and communication to community groups and municipalities. ------ 🚑🤔 When to use 911 for EMS? Use EMS for emergencies! We're launching a campaign to inform our community and dispel some common myths. #1 Myth - Going to the ER by ambulance gets you seen quicker. Patients are assessed & triaged by our crews and again by the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center ED staff. If it is a lower severity illness or injury, you still may go out to the waiting room. Here are some chest, neck, and face related complaints. The ones on the left may be signs of critical illness. On the right are more low level infection related illnesses best suited for an office visit or teleheath. #emsforemergencies #benningtonvt #shaftsburyvt #woodfordvt #vermontems #vtems

Have you ever gone to the Emergency Department, been waiting in the waiting room, and realized that a patient who checked in after you was seen before you? This event is very common as in the ED, patients are not seen first-come-first-serve. Rather we see patients based on what we call "acuity levels." Triaging and acuity levels can be complicated, but what you need to know is that the higher your acuity level, the faster you will be seen. An acuity level of one, for example, is the most urgent, and a level of five is the least urgent. So if you come to the ED and are assigned an acuity level of four, all the patients there with an acuity level of two, for example, are probably going to be seen before you. Although this process might be frustrating, it is important to remember that the main goal of the ED is to save lives. We are always going to take care of the patients who are dying before we take care of those who are not. If you are skipping the line, that's not a good sign! I sympathize with every patient who has to wait an extended period to be treated. However, it may be a blessing in disguise if it means you are stable enough to wait until the more critical patients are seen before you. Please be patient with your ED staff as we seek to give the best care to all our patients, and save lives! Read more in the article below: https://lnkd.in/dRqpGuEb
