    • Ensuring continuous and efficient prehospital care requires a well-coordinated system.
    • Existing EMS structures include various education levels and specialized centers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the necessity of including lifeguard personnel in community EMS systems.
    • To highlight the importance of coordination between EMS agencies and lifeguard services.

    Main Methods:

    • This study is a conceptual analysis based on the principles of EMS system design.
    • It reviews the components of a comprehensive prehospital care network.

    Main Results:

    • Lifeguard personnel must be integrated into community EMS systems if they respond to medical emergencies.
    • Coordination and shared training responsibilities between EMS agencies and lifeguards are essential.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive community EMS system necessitates the inclusion and coordination of lifeguard services.
    • Effective prehospital care relies on the collaborative efforts of all emergency responders, including lifeguards.
