Overview

Emergency physicians recognise and treat imminent and actual emergencies and restore acutely threatened vital functions. They work at the scene, in the emergency physician response vehicle, in the rescue helicopter and on secondary and intensive care transfers. Their measures include emergency ECG, monitoring with capnography, resuscitation, defibrillation, airway management up to emergency anaesthesia, and bleeding control. They choose the appropriate receiving hospital, carry out a structured handover and document the mission. In mass casualty incidents they perform triage, and they also certify death and carry out the preliminary post-mortem examination.
