Basic Life Support (BLS) Transfers:
United provides medical transportation
for patients requiring such service in order to attend doctors appointments,
diagnostic tests and treatments, etc. These calls for service are
usually routine in nature and require little intervention during the
transport. While most of these transports are from local hospitals
and healthcare facilities we are also able to handle long distance
transfers if requested. |
|
Advanced Life Support (ALS) Transfers:
In addition to our BLS services
we also handle a significant number of Advanced Life Support transfers
on a daily basis. These transfers require a Paramedic who is trained
to manage an acute patient. In most cases our Paramedics transfer
patients with IV Medications and Cardiac Monitoring as outlined
in the Maine EMS Inter-facility Module. |
|
Paramedic Bike Team:
Throughout the warmer
months of the year some of our employees participate in our Paramedic
Bike Team. Currently we have 4 EMS bikes equipped with Standard EMS
Equipment including: a LifePak 5 Monitor / Defibrillator, Oxygen,
IV Supplies, as well as "Out of Drug Box Medications".
The Team covers events such as "The Great Falls Balloon Festival"
and other community related events. |
If you would like to
see if we can help cover your upcoming event please call our Communications
