Have you had an EMS personnel work on you or a family member during an emergency? Were you impressed by the way they could remember how much medication to give a patient? Did you know EMS personnel and doctors are taught to administer doses by your age all while doing the math in their head? Wayne County EMS is now using Handtevy to ensure every patient is getting the best possible treatment on the scene when seconds count, so if you see Wayne County EMS on a cell phone while they are treating you there is an incredibly good reason.

EMS personnel will show up on a scene, assess the current situation, and work off the current information provided on the scene. Let’s be honest in an emergency setting even in an emergency room, sometimes the information can be limited which can delay treatment or lead to underdosing/overdosing with medications. Wayne County EMS personnel are now utilizing the Handtevy application for all patients. Handtevy helps to alleviate the delayed timing and administer the correct medications along with correct dosages. This way there is no guessing game during an already stressful situation. Imagine receiving lifesaving treatment in seconds instead of minutes when every second counts.

Handtevy features include but are not limited to customized departmental protocols/equipment/continuing education, correct volume medication dosing, CPR assistance, checklist management, AI-driven recommendations, navigation, and closest hospital capabilities. The application can be used on patients from a premature newborn to adults. The EMS personnel will assess the situation and ask questions if needed. They will then choose the appropriate ailments you are experiencing, which will then show them the appropriate medication, correct dosage, proper mixing for drips and interval timing. No child or adult is the same size, so now they can automatically see what size equipment to use to ensure the patient is getting the best treatment possible.

Have you heard of when administering CPR keeping to the beat of Stayin Alive? The application will start a metronome for chest compressions, ventilation announcements, pre-charge notifications, check rhythm notifications, medication timing, and when to shock a patient. The application will also show if the closest hospital is equipped for each situation.

Everything the EMS personnel administers and does for each patient on a call now is in one location and can be quickly shared with other EMS personnel or physicians. Not to mention the continuing education on the application to help utilize everything on the application. When you see Wayne County EMS personnel on the phone during your emergency, they are giving you the best care possible and ensuring they are doing everything for their patients in our community.

Our Wayne County EMS is here for you!

Do you know what EMS stands for? EMS stands for Emergency Medical Services. Many people think that EMS personnel are just ambulance drivers. Have you ridden in an ambulance before? Have you received treatment from an EMS Paramedic or EMT before? Did you know Wayne County started our first ambulance service in September 1972? This week we will be showcasing our Wayne County EMS Department.

The Wayne County EMS Department is located at 201 Hinson Mosley Rd. Our EMS Department plays a critical role in our county, and we greatly appreciate everything our Paramedics/A-EMTs/B-EMTs/EMTs do each day. We want to say Thank You to our EMS Department! Each day these men and women help anyone in need. Our EMS Department currently has 43 full-time and part-time employees. Our current EMS Director is Mel Young, who has been the EMS Director for 2 months and intermittently with the county for 23 years. Over the years, we have had a few dedicated employees including Robert (Bobby) Kicklighter (prior EMS Director) who was with the county for 35 years. Richard Johnson (prior EMS Director & prior Fire Chief) who was with the county intermittently for 27 years. Terrell (Ben) Surrency was with the county for 39 years intermittently as a full-time and part-time employee.

Did you know Wayne County Emergency Medical Services personnel follow the principles of first aid that include to Preserve Life (check breathing, open airways, perform CPR and stop severe bleeding), Prevent Further Injury, and Promote Recovery. Have you seen the ‘Star of Life Symbol” on the side of an ambulance and do you know what it stands for? It is a six-point star with an emblem in the center. The emblem is the Rod of Asclepius which is a single serpent wrapped around a staff. This is an ancient Greek symbol that represents medicine, healing, and the medical arts.

Each arm represents the stages for high-quality pre-hospital care. The first arm is for early detection when the public or another agency sees the incident and understands medical care is needed. The second arm is for early reporting when the person on the scene makes the call to 9-1-1 to report the incident. The third arm is early response when EMS arrives on scene and begin emergency care. The fourth arm is good on scene/field care when EMS provides appropriate and timely interventions to treat the patient. The fifth arm is care in transit when EMS transport the patient in the ambulance while still monitoring the patient and giving additional medical treatment while in route. The sixth arm is transfer to definitive care when the patient is released to the emergency room at the hospital or to a physician.

Our EMS Department will come to your aide if you need emergency medical assistance and emergency medical transportation. These brave men and women assess the situation whether it be non-life threatening or critical injuries. They provide on the spot medical treatment when only seconds matter. They can administer first aid, administer IV’s, perform CPR (mouth-to-mouth and use of an AED), intubate, administer medications, and other invasive maneuvers required during an emergency to help stabilize a patient. It is very important to tell the EMS personnel if you have an allergy or are taking certain medications. If you cannot speak or are unconscious you should have a medical card with allergies and medications or wear bracelets listing the allergies. Having all your medications in one place can help expedite treatment.

The following questions were answered by our EMS Director Mel Young:

How does the EMS Department help the community?

“We provide rapid pre-hospital medical care during emergencies to help stabilize patients before they reach the hospital. We also assist with non-emergency calls, such as helping someone who has fallen, checking on a person’s well-being, or evaluating concerns like abnormal blood pressure to determine whether additional medical care is needed.”

If the EMS Department did not exist, what would happen to the community?

“Without EMS, the community would not have access to timely pre-hospital emergency medical care or safe transportation to advanced medical treatment. Delays in receiving care could lead to poorer patient outcomes and, in cases preventable loss of life.”

What can the community do to help the EMS Department function better?

“The community can support EMS by understanding the challenges of this profession and using emergency services appropriately. A simple thank you or act of appreciation can have a meaning impact on morale and reminds us that our work makes a difference. Learning CPR, keeping address numbers visible, and yielding to emergency vehicles are also great wats to support EMS.”
