A 73-year-old man with COPD or chronic lung disease is struggling to breath. Worried he is suffering from an infection, paramedics take him to hospital for further treatment. Another elderly patient is suffering from shortness of breath. Paramedics are concerned it is something fatal and call in a red sepsis alert. Elsewhere, medics visit a woman who has SVT (supraventricular tachycardia), a serious heart condition.
For the very first time, an ambulance has been rigged with cameras that provide a unique perspective on what it's like to respond to emergency calls. 'Inside The Ambulance' follows paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service in England as they take us right into the heart of the action. We see heroism at work in the actions of these first responders. We also enter the lives of people in crisis and learn their unique stories.
