It isn’t often that EMSA Paramedics and EMTs have to help with an amputation in the field, but training for those worst-case scenarios is important to make sure our first responders are prepared. Earlier this week, Members of EMSA's Clinical Services team collaborated with physicians from OU Health and members of the Oklahoma City Fire Department to train for a possible field amputation. Our team worked to stabilize the “patient” so trauma teams could work together to complete the amputation and extract the patient. #emsaok #firstresponders #ems #training
