"EMS can be summoned by members of the public (as well as medical facilities, other emergency services, businesses and authorities) via an emergency telephone number."
"Ambulances are the primary vehicles for delivering EMS, though squad cars, motorcycles, aircraft, boats, fire apparatus, and others may be used."
"EMS agencies may also operate a non-emergency patient transport service."
"Historically, ambulances only transported patients to care, and this remains the case in parts of the developing world."
"When EMS is dispatched, they will initiate medical care upon arrival on scene."
"If it is deemed necessary or a patient requests transport, the unit is then tasked with transferring the patient to the next point of care, typically an emergency department of a hospital."
"The term 'emergency medical service' was popularised when these services began to emphasise emergency treatment at the scene."
"In some countries, a substantial portion of EMS calls do not result in a patient being taken to the hospital."
"Training and qualification levels for members and employees of emergency medical services vary widely throughout the world."
"In some systems, members may be present who are qualified only to drive ambulances, with no medical training."
"Most systems have personnel who retain at least basic first aid certifications, such as basic life support (BLS)."
"In English-speaking countries, they are known as emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics."
"Paramedics [...] have additional training such as advanced life support (ALS) skills."
"Physicians and nurses may also provide pre-hospital care to varying degrees in certain countries, a model which is popular in Europe."
