The Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services has published its monthly report for November, detailing a range of statistics that reflect the department’s activities. During this month, the EMS received a total of 514 service requests, leading to the transportation of 333 patients. In addition to local transfers to Southern Tennessee Regional Lawrenceburg, the department facilitated 68 transports to Maury Regional, 3 to Southern Tennessee Regional Pulaski, 24 to North Alabama Medical Center, and 21 to counties that do not border Lawrence County.
The report also highlights that there were 98 instances where patients refused care or did not require any medical attention. Furthermore, there were 77 calls that were either canceled or resulted in no patient being found. The department also responded to 6 requests for fire standby, law enforcement assistance, and mutual aid, while engaging in 4 community outreach activities. When comparing the call volume for November 2024 to both the previous month and the same month last year, the data indicates a steady trend with only a slight decrease in requests.
In terms of professional development, the EMS provided continuing education opportunities throughout November. These included training sessions focused on the medical assessment of patients experiencing syncope and operational procedures during mass casualty incidents. The department also took part in community outreach initiatives, notably participating in the Christ Life Academy Community Helper Day. This event allowed EMS personnel to educate students about their roles and the services they provide to the community. Additionally, lifesaving training courses were conducted, with three classes teaching over a dozen participants essential skills such as hands-only CPR, the use of an AED, Stop the Bleed techniques for controlling bleeding, and various first aid topics.
