TRAINING FOR THE TOUGH CALLS
Reeves County ESD EMS personnel came together for our biannual EMS training, focused on strengthening clinical knowledge, sharpening critical skills, and preparing our teams for complex patient emergencies.
Training included the pathophysiology of the respiratory system, non-invasive and invasive ventilation, and hands-on skills with upgraded equipment used for:
🩸 Junctional hemorrhage control
🫁 Surgical airways
🩺 Emergency chest procedures
While these procedures are not new to our paramedics, some of the equipment used to perform them has been upgraded. This training gave our crews the opportunity to become familiar and proficient with the new equipment before it’s needed in the field.
Personnel also participated in extensive scenario-based training, putting everything together to assess, treat, troubleshoot, and manage complicated patients in realistic situations.
In EMS, some of the most critical skills are also the ones we may use the least. That’s why continued training matters. When a high-risk, low-frequency emergency happens, our providers need to be ready to act confidently and effectively.
Thank you to our EMS Training Division personnel, Battalion Chief Davis and Captain Johnson for this awesome training.
