The full form of EMS in CPR is Emergency Medical Services.

Understanding Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) refers to a system that provides out-of-hospital acute medical care and/or transport to definitive care, such as a hospital, to patients with illnesses and injuries which the patient believes are of an acute nature or which may be related to a medical condition. Often activated by a 9-1-1 call, EMS involves a coordinated response of various personnel, including Emergency Medical Services Personnel.

EMS Personnel and CPR

EMS personnel are trained professionals who provide crucial medical assistance, often including CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), to individuals experiencing a medical emergency. Their prompt response and skilled interventions can significantly improve patient outcomes during critical situations. The goal of EMS is to stabilize the patient on-scene and safely transport them to a medical facility for further treatment.
