Overview

Paramedics care for sick and injured people at the scene and during transport. They assess the situation and the patient's condition, recognise life-threatening states and request emergency physicians or further resources when needed. In life-threatening situations they provide initial care, including invasive and drug-based measures, establish fitness for transport and monitor patients during the journey. They hand over to physicians for further treatment, document condition and course, and ensure the operational readiness of emergency vehicles as well as hygiene and occupational safety. They assist with physician-led emergency care and independently carry out predefined medical measures.
