During the most recent evaluation of our data for the Resuscitation Outcomes
Study (ROC,) the investigators found that our discharge alive rate for cardiac
arrest was a historic high of 16%. This is a truly remarkable finding since the
average survival rate for most large cities is approximately 3%. The
overwhelming majority of our survivors are neurologically intact and functional
in activities of daily life.
Our success is due to multiple factors including an emphasis on good CPR,
delayed airway interventions, post resuscitation blood pressure support with
epinephrine and the initiation of hypothermia therapy.
A Message from the Board
Welcome to the official website for the Fraternal Association of Professional Paramedics.
We are very excited to unveil our new website. Please feel free to browse around.
If you have any ideas or comments; please send them
HERE.
Our website was created in order to communicate with our members and non-members who are interested in learning about
our profession here in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Founded in 1978, the Fraternal Association of Professional Paramedics was formed
in order to bring together fellow members of the EMS community with the
intention to surge forward, as one, becoming the best we can be. Today the Union
is made up of four locals
including Pittsburgh EMS, Valley Ambulance Authority, Medical Rescue Team South,
and Munhall EMS. While these services span a broad spectrum, they are all joined by the Union allowing us to speak and move
together as one.
The Fraternal Association of Professional Paramedics encourages all members to take an active role in their union and to visit
this site for news, updates, future events and to Email thoughts and suggestions. Most importantly, we wish our members
to revel in their work and to put their best effort forward in all of their endeavors.
