Ambulance Day. What do you know about the Emergency Medical Workers Day holiday? Principles of emergency medical care

April 28 is considered Happy Birthday to the Ambulance Service medical care in Russia. And although this is not yet official holiday, but the activity of health workers and a number of Internet users and social networks is aimed at making this day a professional holiday - Emergency Medical Workers' Day.

Every person in our country is familiar with the telephone number “03” - one of the numbers of special emergency services, dating back to Soviet times. “01” – fire department, “02” – police, “03” – ambulance, “04” – gas service. The priority status of these numbers remained until today. You can call them for free from any phone. Changes affected them in 2014, when the number “1” was added to each number in front. Thus, the emergency call number became “103”. And there was also a single emergency number - “112”.

The history of providing assistance to the disadvantaged, those affected by frost or illness, or crippled people in Russia goes back to the 15th century and is associated with the activities of philanthropists, as well as almshouses at churches and monasteries.

The appearance of the emergency medical service (EMS) in Russia dates back to the end of the 19th century, when on April 28, 1898, by order of the Moscow Chief of Police, one ambulance was assigned to two police stations in Moscow and a separate room was allocated for doctors. They were on duty around the clock. Accident victims were taken to emergency rooms at police houses. In fact, ambulance stations were established. But the lack of a larger number of carriages and their assignment to a specific police station led to the fact that they served the territory of this station.

However, at first, for a number of reasons, including because telephone communication was rare, only authorized people, which included police officers, janitors and watchmen, could call an ambulance. For the same reason, at first help was provided to people on the street, and not at home. Among the bulk of patients for whom an ambulance was called, first of all, there were drunk or injured people.

In 1899, the first ambulance stations appeared in St. Petersburg. At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of ambulance stations in Russia increased, and the staff began to consist of professional medical teams. In the first half of the 20th century, research institutes and emergency hospitals appeared, the most famous of which were the Research Institute of Emergency Medicine named after. N.V. Sklifosovsky in Moscow and the Research Institute of Emergency Medicine named after. Dzhanelidze in St. Petersburg.

In 1926, at the Moscow Ambulance Station, an on-duty emergency room was first organized to serve those suddenly ill at home. Doctors visited patients on motorcycles with sidecars; cars appeared later. Ambulance doctors made an invaluable contribution to the provision of medical care to the wounded during the Great Patriotic War.

On January 1, 2005, the order of the Ministry of Health and social development RF “On approval of the procedure for providing emergency medical care”, which defined the basic provisions for the provision of emergency medical care. Help should be provided around the clock and free of charge.

And yesterday, and today, and tomorrow and now, when someone is reading this article, somewhere emergency doctors are saving people’s lives. It remains to be hoped that the initiative to establish official day emergency medical worker on April 28 will be supported at the highest level.

An interesting event that is connected with our precious health is the day of emergency workers. These people, who rush to help at any moment, deserve respect and deep gratitude for their hard work. What is the history of this holiday, which is celebrated annually in Russia on a wide scale?

The history of the Day of Ambulance Workers

Probably, at all times there have been brigades that came to the aid of those in need. Back in the 15th century, the sick were placed in monasteries and almshouses, where they received the necessary treatment and attention. As a rule, these were private institutions and they always belonged to one or another sponsor.
In such places there were no professional doctors, and ordinary parishioners cared for the sick, providing them with clothing and food. They healed wounds and helped to survive if required.
Only at the end of the 19th century was a real ambulance, and its date is April 28, 1898. This appearance was a great joy for many, but it was also open to sponsorship. There was a certain ladies' charitable society named after the Great Olga. Their occupation was aimed at providing assistance to hospitals, charitable institutions and police stations. It was then that a team was formed with an ambulance, which included a doctor, a nurse and a paramedic.
At the very beginning of their work, the ambulance went only to street incidents, they saved drunks who did not make it home, those who were run over by carriages. By order of the police, it was strictly forbidden to go to incidents in apartments, since there were few carriages and there were simply not enough hands. Duty teams were located in police stations; they had a special schedule according to which they worked.
At that time, telephone communication was like a luxury, and not everyone could have a device. The police made arrangements with apartments that had a telephone in case an emergency occurred. Not everyone could be called; only a few categories of citizens qualified for this. Preference was given to officials, janitors, watchmen and police officers.
After the first one started World War, the need for emergency care increased and professional medical teams began to open. But not only this has changed; a lot of time and interest began to be devoted to various studies in medicine. So in 1923, the Moscow City Institute of Emergency Medicine named after Sklifosovsky was opened, which operates to this day and is extremely popular.

Principles of emergency medical care

Why was the ambulance created? Of course, not to save drunkards, although this is also her responsibility. During the days of the ambulance service's existence, basic operating principles were formulated that serve the benefit of society. Safety and accessibility is exactly what the motto of all ambulances sounds like.
The field of medicine itself is a huge and functional wide range of services. Each position plays its main role in this profession. For example, the responsibilities of an emergency doctor include not only providing assistance, but also providing psychological support to a patient in need. Likewise, the profession of a paramedic working in an ambulance does not mean that you only need to be present on a call. They are fully obliged to cope with any emergency situation. What can we say about ambulance drivers, these are people who sometimes have to act depending on the situation, and more than once had to risk their lives for the sake of the patient’s health.
Each ambulance worker must have appropriate education, which is obtained in more than one year. As you know, this profession requires special training and it takes more than a year or even five years to become doctors.

Ambulance Basics

Any worker in this field must be prepared for any situation. For a doctor in relation to a patient, this requires knowledge of the profession, excellent intuition and a quick diagnosis. After all, any delay can cost a person’s life. If a doctor works professionally, quickly and accurately, then the patient’s chances of recovery increase significantly.
A nurse or paramedic is simply obliged to know all the basics of this science. After all, only a caring attitude and attentiveness to the patient lead to good results. They must have good skill in their field, quickly respond to the situation and deftly carry out all the doctor’s instructions.
Any profession requires general training, but this area is special. After all, sometimes we entrust the most precious things in the hands of these people. We surrender ourselves to them with hope and wait right decisions and a speedy recovery.

How is this day celebrated?

Every government organization holds special events, where the best workers are rewarded and valuable gifts are given. Gathering corporate parties, where people have fun about it. Families celebrate the holiday at the same table with family and friends.
To those who provide emergency assistance, we must express our deep gratitude for their courage and patience. Ambulance workers are people who have always been the first to help, and for this we must give them credit. A colossal responsibility falls on the shoulders of these people, because they need to be prepared for any unforeseen situation. Therefore, in professional holiday we need to let them celebrate it with all the breadth of their souls.

Just like reading the lines of poems dedicated to medical workers.

In a word, paramedics must be congratulated beautifully on their professional holiday. After all, they are incredibly responsible performers of their work when providing medical care. At feldsher-midwife stations, by the way, typical cases of common diseases are very often diagnosed. Here, patients are prescribed treatment and are monitored for different groups people, prescriptions and sick leave are issued, and births are attended to. Paramedics also work in medical centers of various large enterprises, on river vessels and sea ships, in health centers at airports and on railway, in military units. In addition, paramedics, if necessary, can replace the position of a local service doctor, and sometimes even receive, register, conduct an initial examination and triage planned, outpatient and emergency patients. In extreme cases, surgical treatment of burns and shallow wounds is performed. And, of course, they provide other medical care to patients who do not require medical intervention.
