đźš‘ Last Week with PCHD EMS đźš‘

PCHD Paramedics had the privilege of hosting an Advanced Airway Management class for the skilled professionals at Mansfield Texas Fire Department this week!

This hands-on training covered critical airway techniques, including:

👉 Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI)

👉 Delayed Sequence Intubation (DSI)

👉 Resuscitation Sequence Airway (RSA)

👉 Crash Airway Management

Crews practiced essential life-saving skills such as:

🔹 Endotracheal Intubation — using MFD’s UE Scope for enhanced visualization

🔹 Cricothyrotomy

🔹 SALAD (Suction-Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination)

Our PCHD Paramedics wrapped up the training with high-fidelity scenario-based simulations using the iSimulate system, allowing teams to apply their skills in dynamic, real-time critical care situations.

Always a pleasure to collaborate with Mansfield Fire as we continue raising the bar for prehospital care!

Citizens EMS Academy Recap – June 7, 2025


This past Saturday, we had an incredible turnout at our Citizens EMS Academy, and we’re thrilled to share how impactful the day was!


Attendees got a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most advanced EMS agencies in Texas—Parker County Hospital District EMS. The day was packed with immersive, hands-on experiences, including a live CPR scenario demonstration conducted by our EMS crews in partnership with the Weatherford Fire Department, simulating a real-time emergency response. Dr. Bertrand, our EMS Medical Director, also provided an in-depth showcase of the advanced field equipment our teams use to save lives in the field. Highlights included the Delta Cooler, which enables crews to carry and transfuse whole blood on-site, the innovative Avive AEDs, and much more cutting-edge technology that supports critical care in emergency situations.


Whether you’re a community member curious about emergency medicine or someone considering a career in healthcare, this program offered a powerful introduction to the tools, people, and heart behind the badge.


Thank you to everyone who participated, and a special shout-out to our dedicated EMS crews and Weatherford Fire Department for making this event a success!

PCHD EMS Supports Heart Health for Kids!


This past weekend, PCHD EMS joined Cresson Volunteer Fire Department and community partners for the Free EKG for Kids event—providing 750 EKGs to over 200 kids and their families!


Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in youth sports, but 80% of at-risk conditions can be detected with an EKG. Thanks to this event, several families were referred for follow-up care, and every participant received a printout to share with their doctor.


A big thank you to all our partners and volunteers who made this lifesaving day possible!
