For many of the people who require MTEMS services, severe pain is a big issue. In the interest of providing patients with the latest offerings in pain management, MTEMS has sought contributions to provide each of their ambulances with portable nitrous oxide units. Dr. Williams and Dr. Hartman, Medical Directors at MTEMS, realize the importance of these nitrous oxide units and are very proactive in ensuring patient comfort and making MTEMS one of the best EMS services around.
"Given that many of the patients we transport are suffering from severe pain, we thought it was a good idea to have nitrous oxide tanks on each rig because they work quickly to relieve their pain, said Gary Hicks, Critical Care Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (CCEMT-P), MTEMS. "DePuy's generous donation will allow us to purchase two new units."
