Transport Decision
The EMT professional will determine the need for transport at some point during the patient assessment. Even if the patient is not mentally alert upon the EMS professional's arrival, he or she may regain alertness as the BLS and ALS procedures are administered. If the status of the patient remains unstable and the patient is unable to communicate coherently, then the EMT professional will need to make the decision for transport. | | | | | | | | |
