Puckett EMS Introduces Critical Care Transport September 2003 - Puckett EMS has launched a new Critical Care ground transport program. Utilizing a team of a Critical Care RN, Critical care Paramedic and an EMT Vehicle Operator, Puckett EMS has created a program unlike any other in the area. This program was created in response to an increased need for comprehensive critical care transport, and the recognition that hospitals were taxing their own resources to accomplish this.
The vehicle is a Mobile Intensive Care Unit set on an International Quad Cab chassis, and is equipped to provide the same level of care as a hospital intensive care unit. Equipment includes a Univent Eagle Ventilator, Minimed IV pumps, Lifepak 12, with invasive and noninvasive blood-pressure monitoring, capnography, and a Datascope System 98 XT Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump. The unit also stocks most medications routinely found in an intensive care unit. Additional features include, on-board generator system, a refrigerator, fax and printer capability, and a lift system for optimal safety and efficiency in loading and unloading. The crew consists of an RN, Paramedic and an EMT. The Critical Care RN is required to have a minimum of 3-years of Critical Care experience. ACLS, PALS, TNCC is required, and specialty certification is preferred. The Critical care Paramedic is required to have a minimum of 3-years experience as a paramedic, and to have completed a Critical Care certification course. Also required is ACLS, PHTLS and PALS, with hospital experience strongly preferred. The EMT vehicle operator is required to be current in BLS and PHTLS, EVOC, have a minimum of 3-years of EMS experience, with an impeccable driving record. CDL licensure is preferred.
The Mobile Intensive Care unit, called MIC-1, will operate within a 300 mile radius of the Metro-Atlanta area.

The vehicle can also accommodate an isolette for neonatal transports.
