Summary: Are EMTs Trained To Check Medical ID Bracelets?
Key: AMQNET-719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQNET-719
Project: ActiveMQ .Net
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: jean ruby
[Medical ID bracelets|https://divotiusa.com/bracelets/medical-alert-bracelets/]
are on the market for a long time. So EMTs are trained to check the medical
alert bracelets. But it's not the first thing they check whenever they find
someone in an emergency situation. The first thing they do is check the vital
signs to confirm if you are alive.
They check your airways if your breathing is fine, and the circulation which is
also known as ABCs. They also check if there are any spinal injuries and
bleeding in case you have suffered from severe shock.
After check your well-being, they go for medical bracelets. Even though it's
not the primary concern to check the medical alert bracelet, all the EMS
personnel are well trained to check the ordinary medical bracelets.
In most cases, they check [medical
bracelets|https://divotiusa.com/bracelets/medical-alert-bracelets/] in case the
patient is unable to speak or he/she is unconscious and no one is with them to
share the information. While treating the patients the paramedics should be
aware of their allergies, medical history, medications, emergency contact
details, address, etc.
While considering all this information the treatment becomes more convenient
and the doctors can do proper treatment. Sometimes, not knowing this
information makes the situation worse and may cause their life. So medical
alert bracelets can save a people’s life.
