The Viennese professional rescue ( Magistratsabteilung 70 or MA 70 - Berufsrettung Wien), colloquially simply referred to as rescue in Vienna , is a rescue organization operating on behalf of state law. It provides the majority of all ambulances used in Vienna and operates the control center and dispatch. She works with the private organizations Austrian Red Cross , Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund , Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe and Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria in the Vienna Rescue Community (motto “Four for Vienna”). The Viennese professional rescue service has 12 stations in Vienna. All stations are manned around the clock by paramedics and emergency doctors . MA 70 is part of the Health and Social Affairs business group of the City of Vienna.
history
On December 8, 1881, the Vienna Ring Theater burned down , killing almost 400 people. The following day Jaromír Mundy , Hans Wilczek and Eduard Lamezan founded the Vienna Voluntary Rescue Society , which was financed by donations. The first rescue station was opened on Fleischmarkt in 1883 and another in Bösendorferstrasse in Vienna's 1st district in 1885 . In 1889 the rescue center was opened at Stubenring 1 (the later construction site of the Austro-Hungarian War Ministry ), eight years later the company moved to its current location in the 3rd district, Radetzkystraße 1, also in the immediate vicinity of the city center.
In 1905, the first rescue vehicle was put into service by the Vienna Rescue Service. In 1938, during the Nazi era, the City of Vienna took over the Voluntary Rescue Society and incorporated it into the city fire brigade with the “Municipal Medical Service” . In 1940 the rescue and medical transport service was founded. During the Second World War (1939–1945) almost all vehicles were destroyed in the Battle of Vienna and the outstations of the Vienna Rescue Service were badly damaged.
In the 1950s, blue light, sequential tone horn, and walkie-talkies were introduced. In 1977 the “Vienna Rescue Association” was founded. Since then, the Red Cross , the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund , the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe and the Vienna City Rescue and Sick Transport Service have been coordinating or jointly handling the operations.
In 1987 the ambulance took over the so-called bed control center, until then managed by the police; Their task is to inform the emergency services immediately of free hospital beds in Vienna that can accommodate emergencies. In addition, a multi-level emergency system was introduced: In the case of the emergency call center, a distinction was made between emergency ambulances (the classic ambulance with a doctor, paramedic and medical technology), ambulance (with medical technology to care for the patient during the journey) and ambulance . In 1991 the first rescue helicopter was deployed in Vienna.
In 1999 the first special paramedics were trained. In addition, construction began on the new rescue center (extension). In 2001, the ÖAMTC switched from the municipal emergency doctor helicopter "Martin 3" to "Christophorus 9" , which stationed emergency doctor helicopters throughout Austria. The new rescue center opened in 2001 to mark the 120th anniversary of the rescue service in Vienna.
staff
The Vienna Rescue employed a total of 43 emergency doctors (who were taken over by the hospital association on April 1, 2017) and 458 paramedics. The paramedics have the training levels paramedics and emergency paramedics of all emergency competencies (NKA, NKV, NKI). The Vienna Rescue Service also employs civil servants who receive training appropriate to their work. Since October 1, 2016, the 24-hour service has been replaced by the 12-hour day / night service.
In the other institutions represented in the Vienna Rescue Association, 2,058 paramedics are available for emergencies and patient transports. The 120 doctors deployed by these institutions until November 2010 are no longer working in ambulances because the Ministry of Finance and Social Security have, for reasons of labor law, demanded employment of these doctors, which the organizations could not finance, instead of the previously usual work contracts.
Vehicle fleet
In total there are over 62 emergency vehicles, of which around 40 are in constant service. The disaster train, which consists of eight vehicles and trailers, was completely modernized between 2006 and 2009.
In addition, the Christophorus 9 emergency doctor helicopter operated by the ÖAMTC is manned by flight paramedics ( HEMS crew members ) and emergency doctors from the Viennese professional rescue service.
The emergency vehicles are

Control center
The Wiener Berufsrettung operates the control center that is responsible for emergency calls in the greater Vienna area. All callers who dial the emergency number 144 are directed to the control center of the professional rescue and can report an emergency there.
The control center was opened in 2008 and is one of the most modern control centers in the world.
Every caller has to answer standardized questions (according to the Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System ) to the call center agent (CCA) , with the help of which the CCA gets an impression of the emergency (type and urgency), can classify it and forwards it to the dispatcher , who then receives an appropriate one Sends life-saving appliances.
Wiener Berufsrettung, together with the Puls association and the Lebensretter association, uses a first-aid app that uses smartphone location services to contact other people who are registered as lifeguards in addition to the rescue operation if an emergency occurs. For example, medical students from the Medical University of Vienna can register there .
Rescue Academy
In order to keep the employees up to date with the latest scientific developments, the Viennese professional rescue service has its own rescue academy. It serves both the advanced training and the training of the employees. In addition, there are regular scientific lectures that are also accessible to external persons (e.g. students).
