Summary
Profession involving rushing to the scene in an ambulance, providing first aid to patients, life support management, and transporting them to hospitals.
Description
Emergency squad members board ambulances and rush to the scene upon receiving reports. They assess the patient's condition, perform life-saving procedures (such as CPR, hemostasis, airway management, etc.), and transport the patient safely and quickly to the designated medical facility. During transport, they also perform life support management under the doctor's instructions. Training as firefighters, vehicle driving skills, and acquisition of advanced medical techniques are required.
