When you hear the word hospital, the first thing that will come to your mind is that it is a place with a number of different pieces of equipment. These pieces of equipment come in different shapes and sizes. There are pieces of equipment that could be as big as a cabinet and there are others that can be carried around in the pocket. Whatever the sizes of this equipment, they are required for the everyday running of the hospital.

When an emergency occurs, the first line of care is the paramedics and the ambulance. The paramedics are the first people that can give immediate treatment to the patient. The ambulance, having all the Paraguard Stretcher and equipment needed serves as an immediate hospital. Being an extension of the hospitals in giving medical care, the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons and American and College of Emergency Physicians has come up with a list of the standard paramedic supplies that an ambulance should have. After the revised list was made public by these two organizations, the National Association of Emergency Physicians has given their support to the standardized list. They believe that the ambulance should not only have a skilled paramedic but high quality paramedic supplies as well to ensure a second to none emergency care that they can give.

These organizations have categorized the paramedic supplies and equipment into basic and advanced level providers. One of the main pieces of equipment that should be present on the equipment list is the Paramedic Supplies. The Paraguard stretcher is a movable bed that acts as a movable space for the injured party where they are safe from any items that might be lieng about on the road. This is where the patient can be loaded, from the scene of the emergency then carried inside the ambulance. By placing the patient on the stretcher, this ensures that no further injury can happen to the patient because the paramedics need not carry him or her by hand. Without the stretcher, the patient may suffer from back injury when he is carried by the paramedics. A Stretcher keeps the patient in a stationary position. And the stretcher also has straps to keep the patient in place while being transported to the hospital.

Aside from the stretcher, other paramedic supplies that can be found inside an ambulance are the nitrile gloves. These nitrile gloves are included in the category of infection control paramedic supplies.

Other categories of paramedic supplies that an ambulance should have are ventilation and airway equipment. These are for clearing the air pathways of the patient so that air can flow freely; Monitoring and defibrillation machines for reviving the patient. Immobilizers for the neck are also needed for those who have sustained injury. This will prevent the body from sustaining additional injuries due to body movements. The bandages are also to be included for treatment of wounds. Ambulance's today also include communication devices for the paramedic and the doctor. Obstetrical supplies, injury prevention equipment, and other miscellaneous devices.

These are the standard paramedic supplies and equipment to provide proper emergency care for the patient. Without these, they might put the patient’s life at risk instead of saving it.
