from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emergency paramedic is a special form of paramedic training that was introduced at the Malteser Aid Service and also adopted by the DLRG in individual regional associations .

education

The training includes at least 80 hours of theory and 20 hours of internship. The internship in emergency rescue or in the medical service is possible from the age of 18. During these internship hours, five types of assistance must be carried out and documented on the patient in order to successfully complete the training. In contrast to most other medical training courses, training to become a paramedic places greater emphasis on handling rescue service equipment (e.g. rescue corset or spineboard ) and on extended emergency measures (e.g. assistance with intubation ). Training in dealing with mentally ill people and instruction on radiotelephone are also part of this course, which is to be placed between paramedics and rescue workers . The emergency medical technician includes the training to become an in-house paramedic and includes the theoretical content of the rescue worker (NRW) .

Areas of activity

Emergency paramedics are used by the paramedic service at events, in the specialist medical service of the disaster control, as additional helpers in the rescue service and as part of the on-site helper program. They assist the rescue personnel and, if necessary, maintain the patient's vital body functions until the rescue service arrives . For this purpose, the emergency medical technician is allowed to drive KTW as a second person, unless a state rescue service law stipulates otherwise.
