Hasselt (Brussels Morning) – The Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT) at Jessa Hospital includes an ambulance helper and a specialized nurse who can provide more advanced medical care than regular ambulances helping to improve emergency response in the area.
Starting from July 1st, Jessa Hospital will have a special team called the Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT). This team includes an ambulance helper and a nurse who can do more advanced medical treatments than regular ambulance services. The team’s goal is to improve medical care and help patients better during emergencies. The ambulance helper knows about emergency transport and basic medical tasks while the nurse can give medicines do advanced checks and perform more complex medical procedures right at the emergency site.
How is Jessa Hospital’s Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT) Enhancing Emergency Care with Specialized Nurses and Equipment?
At Jessa Hospital the Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT) is like a middle ground between regular ambulances and advanced Mobile Urgent Care teams. They have ambulance helpers and specialized nurses who can give more advanced medical help than typical ambulance staff. This means they can give medicines, do advanced check, and perform complex medical procedures right where the emergency happens. This plan is all about making emergency medical services better in Jessa Hospital’s area. The Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT) fills the gap between basic ambulance care and the more intense care from Mobile Urgent Care teams. They want to give patients the right care they need. This helps in handling emergencies well and making sure patients get the right help quickly. Basically Jessa Hospital is stepping up to improve how they handle emergencies, meet the community’s changing needs and provide better care from the start to specialized treatment.
Coordinator Patricia Willems said that:
The Paramedical Intervention Team (PIT) at Jessa Hospital is special because they have special equipment and trained staff especially an emergency nurse. This allows the team to do advanced medical treatments right where the emergency happens which regular ambulances can’t do. Coordinator Patricia Willems says the PIT has extra medical tools and supplies to give medicines and do life-saving procedures on the spot. Having an emergency nurse in the PIT team is super important because nurses can do more medical stuff than just basic first aid. They can give medicines through veins do advanced checks to diagnose and stabilize patients and use special tools to handle tough situations well. With these skills the PIT can offer better and quicker care which might mean fewer patients need to go to the hospital right away and can lead to better results for those in critical conditions.
It has been said that the healthcare providers’ job has changed a lot. That’s why they make sure to train their staff again in the past few months to become certified PIT nurses and paramedics. This new training helps them handle emergencies better and provide advanced care to patients.
