Honoree's Quickly and Successfully Administered Life-Saving Care to Critically Injured Patient
GREENSBURG, Pa. - PennZone -- Three personnel from Mutual Aid Ambulance Service, Inc., the largest ambulance service in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, were recognized at the 10th Annual Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Trauma Symposium. On March 6th, 2024 District Chief Benjamin Tingle, Paramedic Nathaniel Zanoni, and EMT Richard DeForrest were presented with challenge coins for their actions caring for a critically injured patient.
The three were honored for their efforts on a recent emergency call involving a gunshot victim. During the 26-minute drive to the hospital Tingle, Zanoni, and DeForrest performed multiple interventions including administering high-flow oxygen, and establishing intravenous lines for the administration of fluids and medications, including Tranexamic Acid, used to control major bleeding. The ambulance crew also intubated the patient and performed needle decompression of the patient's lungs. The crew was able to respond to the incident, treat and transport the patient, and have the patient in an operating room in only 46 minutes. In his comments introducing them, Mike Taramelli, AHN Trauma Program Director, said, "The men demonstrated that excellence is possible in difficult situations and at far distances from the nearest trauma centers, and have raised the bar for what should be expected out of EMS providers in Western Pennsylvania."
