Emergency medical services in Russia

History riggers the appearance of an ambulance as an independent institution was a fire Ringtheater that occurred Dec. 8, 1881. This incident has taken enormous size, which killed 479 people, representing a terrifying sight. Front of theater in the snow lay hundreds of burnt people, many of whom were injured during a fall. Affected more than the day could not get any medical care.

All this terrible picture completely shocked located at the scene surgeon Professor Jaromir Mundy (it. Jaromír Mundy), which proved to be helpless in the face of disaster. He could not provide effective assistance befits randomly lying on the snow people. The next day, Dr. J. Mundy has begun to establish a voluntary rescue Viennese society. Count Hans Wilczek (it. Johann Nepomuk Graf Wilczek) donated a newly formed organization of 100 thousand guilders. These societies were organized fire, boat teams and ambulance station for emergency assistance to victims of accidents.

Soon, like Vienna, in a number of other European cities were the same as the station. Their work was very useful and necessary.

In the Russian Empire, the first ambulance station originated in 1897 in Warsaw. Objectives of the organization of medical care at the present stage are to effectively and efficiently use the available resources for health, increase the availability and improve the quality of health care.

Ambulance in Britain Ambulance crews are never include doctors. The challenges of travel paramedics - to compare them with the Russian paramedics correctly because unlike medical assistants, paramedics are not allowed to diagnose and study an average of 6 months (paramedics are trained for about 4 years). Also calls can travel volunteers who have completed relevant courses.

Ambulance in Russian model can be called a kind of European, quite far along from the "parent". Paramedics and volunteers we did not happen at all - their role is played by paramedics and nurses. However, as mentioned above, the paramedic has a broader functionality. In fact, is a specialist who is qualified to diagnose and make a decision about how to be patient, based on their experience and knowledge, not of unambiguous instructions for all occasions.
