What do paramedic EMT-B do?

EMTs are divided into 4 groups: EMT-1, EMT-2, EMT-3, and EMT-4 or EMT-paramedic. EMT-1 is the basic level of prehospital medical care. These workers are trained in CPR and Basic First-Aid. EMT-1 need only a couple of weeks in college before they can get their license and start working. EMT-2 and EMT-3 is the intermediate level and need more training. EMT-2 and EMT-3 specialize in CPR/AED/Basic First-Aid/ and administering intravenous fluids. They must have about 6 months in college before they may start working. EMT-4 or EMT-Paramedic is the highest level of prehospital medical care. They specialize in everything starting from CPR, AED, and basic first-aid to administering drugs orally and intravenously, interpreting electrocardiograms (EKGs), performing endotracheal intubations, and using monitors and other complex equipment. EMT-Paramedics respond to incidents such as automobile accidents, heart attacks, drowning, childbirth, and gunshot wounds. Once they arrive at an emergency, they determine the nature and extent of the patient's condition while trying to ascertain whether the patient has preexisting medical problems. Paramedics may use special equipment, such as backboards, to immobilize patients before placing them on stretchers and securing them in the ambulance for transport to a medical facility. Usually, one paramedic drives while the other monitors the patient's vital signs and gives additional care as needed. Some EMTs work as part of the flight crew of helicopters that transport critically ill or injured patients to hospital trauma centers. all above is correct except paramedics manualy shock patient's instead of using AED'S
