Over the weekend, we had our final training for the inclusion of Drug Assisted Airway Management into our protocols. What does this mean? This means that our medical providers at Pella Ambulance can provide another level of care to community members that need it.

In short, without getting too nerdy, we can assist a patient in critical condition by breathing for them with the assistance of medications, intubation or other types of airway management tools, and lastly using a ventilator or bag valve mask to breath for them. We take pride in providing the highest level of care for the Pella Community and surrounding areas and this addition into our protocols assists in this goal.

We had a lecture provided by Paramedic Comstock, along with classroom skills after. We followed up with an in depth, realistic emergency provided by SIMIA that utilized our skills and protocols. It was a great educational day and we are excited to have such an amazing and knowledgeable team of medical providers here at Pella Ambulance!

A special thank you to SIMIA for their assistance in the training.

Help us wish a happy birthday to Advanced EMT Michael Sbrocco! Mike has been with us as a part time employee nearing a year. He was first introduced into the station after being in our Advanced EMT course and was hired soon after the class ended. We are blessed to have Mike’s fun and joyful energy in the station. He has great knowledge and experience that he applies to emergency calls and in the back of an ambulance so well and professionally. We have gotten to witness first hand the impact of his service to this community. We thank you for your service to both this community and other communities that you serve. We hope that you have a wonderful birthday! 🎂 🎉🎈
