Dramatic rescues: emergency paramedics master perfect exercise in Eberswalde!

An impressive simulation between aspiring emergency paramedics and the fire department recently took place in Eberswalde, which impressively demonstrated how well preparation and teamwork can work in emergency situations. A dramatic case in which a forest worker hung motionless in a tree caused the participants to have an increased pulse. This incident was part of the Prehospital Poly Trauma Management (PPTM) course in which Lucas Glassl, a trainee emergency medical technician, attempted to speak to the man but received no response. The scenario clearly illustrated the challenges that can arise during operations, such as the broken branch that indicated the accident. According to the report by Uckermarkkurier.de, 26 trainees from several districts took part in the exercise, which represents an important test before their state exams, which are due in October.

From theory to practice – an important step in training

The course leader Maxim Jastrow and the lecturer Verena Werner emphasized the importance of realistic simulations. These practices are essential not only for personal training, but also for developing skills such as identifying and treating injuries. Whether facial injuries or rollover trauma, the aspiring emergency paramedics had to act professionally under pressure and apply their knowledge. The fire brigade in Templin was also deployed, providing valuable support with their turntable ladder and fire engines.

The interaction between care and emergencies

A central aspect of the training is interdisciplinary collaboration. Dominik Bölter, course instructor, emphasized how important it is that emergency paramedics, nurses and firefighters work as a team. This insight is not only crucial in training, but also in the practical implementation of emergency care, as the Ärzteblatt shows. The triad of emergency paramedics, nurses and doctors is crucial here. In Berlin, for example, excellent results were achieved in interprofessional collaboration with the IN-PRO-SIM© project, which ensures improved operational tactics.

The Future of Learning: Virtual Reality

With the development of the ViTAWiN project, digital training is now also being used. VR training, as described by Fraunhofer, offers an exciting new dimension in learning. The aspiring emergency paramedics and nurses can practice in realistic scenarios without the use of real materials. This not only enables risk-free and stress-free training, but also targeted training for various complex emergency situations.

Ultimately, the combination of traditional training and modern methods such as virtual learning shows that emergency care training is on a promising path. The practical challenges require not only theoretical knowledge, but also the ability to work in a team and make quick decisions. Thanks to this intensive preparation, the newbies in the emergency service can respond much better to the real challenges - simply a good step in the right direction.
