| | Paramedic |
| | Paramedics are highly trained emergency medical technicians that provide the most extensive pre-hospital care. | | | As with other EMTs, paramedics provide patients with basic life support skills including: air way management, control of bleeding, treatment of shock, oxygen therapy, treatment of environmental emergencies, burn care, splitting and bandaging techniques, vehicle and water extraction, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency child birth. | | | The baby boom generation will also increase the need for trained paramedics because they are more likely to experience medical emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes. |

| | Paramedic |
| | With more schooling, paramedics can become R.N.s, occupational and physical therapists, doctors, and other health care workers. | | | Their work can be richly rewarding, as when a child is born despite difficulties, or terribly sad, when, even after administering proper care, a patient dies. | | | For paramedics looking to switch careers, the health care profession offers several avenues. |

| | Graduates of paramedic programs must use critical-thinking and problem-solving strategies to safely and competently assess and reassess patients, interpret and prioritize significant patient findings, implement interventions, and evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions used. | | | Interventions are based on the application of knowledge of health and illness, relevant paramedical theory and research, legislation, regulations, standards, and established policies and procedures, and the correct use of equipment and supplies. | | | These acts are beyond those performed by the primary care paramedic; current examples include needle decompression of the chest, manual defibrillation, and endotracheal intubation. |
