(WDAM) - Lifeguard Southern Mississippi has added a new high-risk, low-frequency quarterly training for all of the people who show up when on a 911 call.Lifeguard Ambulance Service in Lamar County is included in this mandatory two-day training. Leaders said the purpose for this training was to help emergency medical providers stay sharp on difficult skills they may not use frequently. “When one of our practitioners gets to the side of a patient and has to do one of these real, high-speed procedures that they don’t get to do a lot in the field, we want to make sure that we’re extremely proficient on it,” said Lifeguard Emergency Medical Services Chief Steve White “So, we’re bringing the absolute best care we can to our patients in their time of need. ”Some of the skills in the training include intubations, needle decompression and establishing difficult airways.The training will not only keep skills polished, but also build confidence.“We’re not out there doing these skills every day, so whenever we are able to do them, we need to make sure that these things are proficient and we’re competent in how we do it,” said paramedic Griffin Aderhold. “So, this is a good training to help keep our skills up and our confidence up as well.”Lawrence County and GP Medical Operations also will participate in this training every three months.Want more WDAM 7 news in your inbox?
