ABOUT:

The least educated level of transport ambulance service is the Basic Life Support or emergency medical technician (EMT) level. In our country Bangladesh, this level of service provider is referred to as an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B). Our ambulance services that transport people based on the Department of Transportation guidelines. Our basic life support ambulances are staffed with a crew of at least one basic EMT and a first responder trained driver. We are not compromise about the minimum training level of the ambulance crew. Desh ambulance can provide oxygen therapy, automatic defibrillation, spinal immobilization, splinting, or insertion of a multilumen airway such as the Combitube which is called ventilation system. They cannot generally administer IV fluids or medications. In addition, an EMT-B generally cannot use a laryngoscope, which is an illuminating instrument inserted into the pharynx to permit visualization of the pharynx and larynx to place an endotracheal tube or breathing tube. But we are educated to perform general diagnostics. Lack of the cost of education and advanced equipment, and limited funding, basic life support ambulance services is the only services available in only Dhaka city of the country. Since these services are licensed and regulated by health ministry, documentation standards for basic life support ambulance services are also available.
