NIGERIA PRE-HOSPITAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (Paramedics)

Does Naloxone save lives? Does it help in cardiac arrest? Prehospital use of Naloxone is surrounded by misinformation. This week, we examine the history behind Naloxone as well as how it can provide benefit. One of the most common misconceptions is the Naloxone has some benefit in cardiac arrest. It does not. The Rogue Medic did an excellent write up of Naloxone in his blog (see Show Notes) years before, but it has not killed the mythos of Naloxone in cardiac arrest. My hope is that this episode may be enlightening to a few providers, who can then share the knowledge with their peers. But first, let’s put to rest the misconception of evidence for Naloxone in cardiac arrest. Many “Naloxone Apologists” will cite Saybolt, et al. as evidence of benefit, but fail to actually dig through the data. When we read through the “evidence” supplied in the study, it does not paint a picture that anyone could logically construe as providing benefit. But don’t take my word for it, here’s the very da...

And why you probably don’t have a choice. Let’s be honest. We all want an awesome mentor. Someone to take us by the hand and show us a better way. Someone to save us time, money and frustration. How awesome would that be, right? Here’s the thing. If you’re good at what you do, sooner or later the day will come when someone – an employee, co-worker, student or acquaintance – comes to you for advice. Someone who is looking for a mentor, and to them, you fit the bill perfectly. Is Mentoring Worth It Is mentoring worth the effort? In a word, yes. But, it’s a very personal decision. You must decide how much value mentoring has to you. After watching hundreds of professional flight crews mentor wannabe flight crews, I can tell you with certainty it’s a pretty great experience for all involved. A lot of times the mentor benefits as much or more than the mentee. Why? Because the feeling you get when someone tells you they’re “living their dream” thanks to your help, is pretty incredible. It’s ...

I write with every sense of seriousness to avail fellow Nigerians the opportunity to know who paramedics are, how they are trained, what they do or employment structure, where they are trained and where are they found in Nigeria Presently? WHO IS A PARAMEDIC? The paramedic is a healthcare professional who works in emergency medical situations. A paramedic may be more formally defined as a medical professional who provides medical care to sustain life in the pre-hospital environment, usually in an emergency, at the point of illness or injury. This includes an initial assessment of the patient after a particular health crisis. Treatment can also be continued en route to a hospital if more definitive care for the patient is required. Paramedics provide advanced levels of care for medical emergencies and trauma. The majority of paramedics are based in the field, in ambulances, emergency response vehicles, or in specialist mobile units such as cycle response. Paramedics provide out-of-h...

The journey of EMS care in Nigeria has been a long and challenging one. Before 1995, ambulances in Nigeria were known for undertakers' services and not for carrying live patients.1 That year an oil company operating in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria kicked off a rudimentary ambulance system by engaging an ambulance for rescue and conveying of their emergency staff to the hospital. In the early 90s, Tokaro Emergency Medical Services, a division of an Israeli business group, introduced EMS in Lagos State. Due to low patronage and failed attempts to train some doctors in prehospital care, Tokaro EMS was disbanded a few years after its introduction and was subsequently bought by the newly emerging Emergency Response Services Group. In 2001 the Lagos State Government started its first attempt to implement EMS using the foreign firm. Shortly after this, in 2002, Rivers State Government started the second government owned EMS under the consultancy of Emergency Response Services Group. ...

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (LASEMS AND LASAMBUS) EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (LASEMS AND LASAMBUS) Increasing urbanization and industrialization of Lagos State has led to an appreciable increase in the number of road traffic, industrial and marine accidents and medical emergencies, hence the strengthening of the inherited base hospital care i.e. Lagos State Emergency Medical Service (LASEMS) and establishment of the pre-hospital care service i.e. Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) in March 2001. Both services run on a 24/7 basis and have led to significant improvement in the response time and quality of care with attendant improvement in morbidity and mortality rates occasioned by medical emergencies. These services cover: • Awareness campaign on the preventive aspect of medical emergencies including home/road traffic/industrial accidents; and how to access services. • Training of personnel in pre-hospital and hospital-based management of trauma and medical emergencies, and effec...

Types of Paramedics Paramedics provide emergency medical response to more than 6 million people in an area of more than 227,000 square kilometres. In 2015-16, paramedics in Victoria responded to about 589,847 emergency road incidents – that’s one every 55 seconds. Paramedic expertise is not just applied at the scene of a patient. Paramedics are involved in the coordination of ambulance resources and dispatch as duty managers, clinicians and communications support personnel. Paramedics are also involved in our Secondary Triage Service which deals with 000 calls classified as low medical priority, where the patient’s condition indicates that an ambulance may not be necessary and an alternative service can be provided. This helps free up ambulances for life-threatening cases. The clinical, pharmacological and medical skills of our paramedics are of a very high standard. External surveys show that 97 per cent of patients are satisfied or very satisfied with overall with our ser...

What Being a Paramedic Involves Being a paramedic is about a lot more than lights and sirens, and rushing to help someone in need. Paramedics perform clinical procedures, administer drugs, maintain patient records and decide on the most appropriate medical facility where someone should be taken. Paramedics help people in non-life threatening situations too, from sporting injuries to routine transport between hospitals and health services. What a Day in the Life of a Paramedic is Like On any given day, a paramedic may: Attend medical emergencies and accidents which may require the administration of advanced life support. Assess, treat and manage the patient’s treatment en-route to hospital. Perform invasive techniques such as intravenous cannulation, administration of pain-relieving drugs, fluid resuscitation in the trauma setting and advanced airway management. Lift and place patients on stretchers, load the stretchers into ambulances and transport patients to hospital. Prepare patien...

I have always read with keen interest all your publications about all that happens in the health sector in Nigeria.
