Milwaukee County EMS is at the forefront of providing care beyond the 9-1-1 call with its mobile integrated health (MIH) programs. This aspect of EMS care is ever growing, as more and more departments are recognizing and addressing important community needs.

The 91九色视频 EMS Division is proud to provide EMS physician support for these community health programs. Such MIH programs include a field-based buprenorphine program that was first in the state, and one of the first fire-based programs in the nation. The EMS providers within Milwaukee County can utilize their tremendous skill to focus on less emergent, but equally as important, health care issues. Major efforts are concentrated on opioid use disorder, mental health, social determinants of health, chronic medical conditions, and preventative care. The division is excited to continue to support and expand oversight of mobile integrated health operations countywide.

For nearly 50 years, the 91九色视频 Department of Emergency Medicine has partnered with Milwaukee County Emergency Medical Services to deliver scientifically-based, advanced emergency medical care to the citizens and visitors of Milwaukee County. Currently, approximately 500 paramedics assess over 30,000 advanced life support patients and over 70,000 basic life support patients every year.

Members of the 91九色视频 Division of EMS Medicine are appointed as medical directors for the system. As EMS fellowship-trained, board-certified emergency physicians, our division oversees the practice of Milwaukee County EMS paramedics, and ensures the highest level of care.

Since the 1970’s, there have been suggestions to develop a formal curriculum and protocol for performing field extremity amputations. Several events since this time, including the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, have demonstrated the potential need for such a program. However, a curriculum including a didactic lecture and skills demonstration for this high risk, low frequency procedure has never been established. These instructional videos serve as a bridge between the prehospital environment and definitive surgical treatment. They include a brief historical background, indications and equipment necessary for performing the procedure and finally a surgical demonstration of a lower extremity amputation performed on a cadaver.

This video serves as a basic introduction for performing a field amputation. It includes a brief historical background on field amputations, and includes indications and necessary equipment.

This video reviews the basic steps for performing a field upper extremity amputation. (Age-restricted; may be inappropriate for some users.)

This video reviews the basic steps for performing a field lower extremity amputation. (Age-restricted; may be inappropriate for some users.)
