Paramedic.
A Paramedic is a health care professional whose primary role to provide advanced emergency medical care for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. This individual possesses the complex knowledge and skills necessary to independently provide patient assessment and care in the out-of-hospital setting. The paramedic extends the traditional capabilities of a Hospital emergency department into the field.

Nursing:-
Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focussed on the care of individuals, families, and communities. So they may attain maintain or recover optimal health or quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patients' care, training, and scope of practice.

They may be also known as first aid squad, fast squad, emergency squad, ambulance squad, ambulance corps, life squad, or by other initialisms such as EMAS or EMARS.

It includes providing life support, invasive monitoring, resuscitation, and end-of-life care.
Doctors in this specialty are often called intensive care physicians, critical care physicians, or intensivists.
Procedures and treatment:-
Cardiac technology:-
Cardiac technology is an area of specialization, for allied health professionals. Cardiovascular technologists and technicians assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular (blood)conditions.
Cardiovascular technologists work in the areas of invasive cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular technology, invasive procedures are those that involve breaking the asking and inserting devices such catheters and needles into the patients. Cardiovascular technicians perform less technically difficult non-invasive tests such as electrocardiogram and diagnostic ultrasound.
They are skilled in the following non-invasive tests:-
- Trans-thoracic echo into the patient's chest to obtain a diagnostic image
- Stress echocardiogram, which uses the trans-thoracic echo test while the patient wall on a treadmill or rides a stationary bicycle.
- Doppler echocardiogram, which tracks blood flows into the heart and vessels
- Contrast echocardiogram, which is a transthoracic supplemented by the use of contrast solution injected into the patient's vein to produce a view of the interior of the heart
- Trans-esophagus echo, where a tiny ultra camera is passed through the patient's esophagus to evaluate bypass surgery
Dialysis technology:-
In medicine, dialysis is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer performs these functions naturally. This referral to as renal replacement therapy. The first successful dialysis performed in 1943. Dialysis needs to be initiated when there is a sudden rapid loss of kidney function, known as acute kidney injury, or where a gradual decline in kidney function-chronic kidney disease reaches stage 5. Stage 5 chronic renal failure is reduced when the glomerular filtration rate is 10-15% of normal, creatinine clearance is less than 10ml per minute and uremia is present.
Dialysis is used as a temporary measure in either acute kidney injury or in those awaiting a kidney transplant and as a permanent measure in those for whom a transplant is not indicated or not possible.
In Australia, Canada, The United Kingdom, and The united states dialysis is paid for by the government for those who eligible.
