The primary job intervention that an EMT can provide is securing the patient's airway and sustaining the blood circulation.

Explanation:

In emergency response, there is an acronym known as CAB which stands for prioritization of circulation, airway and breathing.

For example, in a car crash victim who is unconscious, he/she will be given a cardiopulmonary resuscitation so that the blood will not stop flowing inside the body. Air is then given by mouth to mouth every after 30 chest pumps to give the patient oxygen.
