Q: What is the definition for Wake

Experience suggests wake-effect collisions occur as a result of an EMS vehicles transit, but do not involve the emergency medical vehicle (EMV). Substantiating the existence and magnitude of wake-effect collisions may have major implications regarding the manner of EMV response.

What is the definition for Wake

Experience suggests "wake-effect" collisions occur as a result of an EMS vehicle's transit, but do not involve the emergency medical vehicle (EMV). Substantiating the existence and magnitude of wake-effect collisions may have major implications regarding the manner of EMV response.

What is repetitive persistence?

Repetitive Persistence. A technique used to calm emotional callers by using repeated phrases in a firm, even tone. The phrase must contain both an action and a reason for the action. Resource Allocator. EMD role that emphasizes sending and prioritizing response resources.

When the complaint description is breathing-related tracheostomy (trach or stoma) problems in the conscious patient, go to Protocol 6. Some critical patient care instructions may be necessary prior to the "send" point.

Which of the following lists contains the four essential call processing objectives described in this course?

The essentials There are four essential objectives of fire emergency call processing that are considered fundamental and mandatory components of every emergency call: The collection of incident information. The collection of scene safety information. The identification of a correct response.
