The Emergency Medical Service system (known by the acronym "EMS" in the USA, Australia and Canada) is responsible for providing pre-hospital (or out-of-hospital) care by paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMT's), and medical first responders (MFRs in US terminology).
EMS is also synyonmous with: First Aid Squad, Emergency Squad, Safety Squad, Rescue Squad, Ambulance Squad, Life Squad or its initials spelled out, Emergency Medical Service. They usually all do the same thing but with different names, all representing the same basic thing: emergency patient care.
The goal of EMS is to provide early treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, and ultimately rapid transportation to an Emergency department. Stabilizing patients early (within the golden hour) significantly increases their chances of survival, particularly in the event of a heart attack, diabetic emergency, or severe physical trauma. Many EMT responsibilities also require the EMT to extricate the patient from where they are - whether it is in a tight location in a home, or from a vehicle using the jaws of life.
