Service in Bremen, Gemany.
What exactly means EMT-Basic degree? Is there also something like an EMT-
advanced degree?
We do mainly first-aid sevices at sports-events, rock concerts etc. here
in Bremen. I don't know, what my education is called in english, in german
I am "Sanit�tshelfer (SAN-B)"...I think, it is something like a first-
responder-education in english.
What are you doing in Milan? Also mainly medical service at events?
Are there many volounterys in EMS in Italy?

Hi, I'm volunteer at Croce Verde Baggio in Milan (Baggio is not the football
well-known player but a small town included in Milan in 1923)
I compared my degree to U.S. EMT ones.
In the USA you have EMT-Basic, EMT-D (basic who may defibrillate),
EMT-paramedic, just to mention the first three I have in mind.
By the way I'm BLS and simple trauma management (scoop stretcher, KED,
cervical collar application) trained.
I heard of them...
Here in Milan we work for emergency medical service "118" (emergewncy medical
phone number, same as US 911).
EMS at events are just a small part of our work.
Here in Milan we have about 10 EMS volunteer associations, 100-120 volunteers
each, not counting Italian Red Cross. We should give to 118 at least one
ambulance each association, and a driver for medical guard, every evening and
night and on saturdays, sundays and holidays.
For every ambulance we need at least 3 people, 1 for medical guard and 1 as
radio/phone operator who talks with 118 headquarter and ambulances.
I'm usually on duty from 6.30 pm to 8.00 am on saturday night. We have our
duty one day a week.

     Hi Timur!
     Ever neat.  I'm 18 too, and volunteer for the same thing but here
in Canada.  We do it a little different, but not by much. :)
     EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician.  I don't know what
levels you have in Germany, so I can't draw any parallels for you.  In
Ontario, EMT-B is roughly equivalent to an EMR, Emergency Medical Responder,
but the requirement up here to work an ambulance service (St. John
doesn't count) is currently an EMCA (Emergency Medical Care Assistant,
I think).  There's EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-A.  I know B stands for
Basic, but I'm not sure about the I and the A... Intermediate and
Advanced makes sense, but I could be waaaay off the mark. :)
     Sounds like you do the same sort of things I do around here.  Are
you considering a career in emergency medicine, or content with St.
John?  I don't know much about St. John in Germany, I wouldn't mind
hearing more.

"Rettungssanit�ter" and Paramedic is "Rettungsassistent", but I am not
sure.
Here in Germany, volounteers work nearly only in EMS at events, just a
small number of volounteers work in Ambulance service.
very
In Germany, we have only the Order Of Malta, the Red Cross, the Order Of
St. John and the "Arbeiter Samariter Bund" as EMS-Organisations with
volounteers, EMS is also done by a few private Organisations and by the
fire brigade, but there are AFAIK no volouteers with them.

In Germany, there usualy only 2 People in a Ambulance, one Paramedic and
one EMT, often there is also one EMT or Paramedic in traning, and
sometimes a volounteer with a lower education level (like me) as the 3.
person.
In Germany, we have 3 differnt kind of ambulaces, one wich you maybe call
a BLS-Ambulace ("Krankenwagen"), there are often only two EMS on one
ambulance, ALS-Ambulances ("Rettungswagen") with one EMT and one Paramedic
and the "Notarztwagen", and ALS-Ambulance with one EMT/Paramedic, one
Paramedic and one Doctor.

a lot of us (myself included) were wondering what it meant.  I ran into
the term again in a book about trauma centers and their definition of MICN
was Mobile Intensive Care Nurse.  Apparently it's an additional set of
protocals and procedures an RN can learn in order to certify as a nurse on
a Mobile Intensive Care rig.  Perhaps someone else can shed some light on
what additional training is given and why, my source didn't go into that
much detail about it.

assistant: We have here "Sanitaetshelfer (San-A)", "Sanit�tshelfer (San-B)",
"Rettungshelfer (RH)", "Rettungssanitaeter (RS)" and "Rettungsassistent
(RA)".
I think, "San-B" is the First Responder, "Rettungshelfer" the Basic-EMT,
"Rettungssanit�ter" the Advanced-EMT and "Rettungsassistent" the
Paramedic.
In Bremen, the required level of education to work on an ambulance depends
on the kind of ambulance: to be on an ambulance, wich is only used to
transport Patients (e.g. from a retirement-home to Hospital or from a
local hospital to a special hospital) two RS or one RH for driving and one
RS, an "normal" Emergency-Ambulance needs one RS and one RA, on a
"Notarztwagen" (Ambulance with Doctor) there are two RA and one Doc.
In 1999, I have to do, like every male citizen in germany, 10 Month of
millitary duty or 13 Month of community work, and I will try to do my
community work in EMS (but I am not allowed to do it with St.John), but I
don't know, if I'll work after that in EMS as a full-time-job, I suppose I
will carry on with school after that, and stay as a volunteer with
St.John.
In germany, we have 4 EMS-Organisation: St.John, Red Cross, Order of Malta
an "Arbeiter Samarieter-Bund". Ambulance-Service is also done by the fire-
brigade and some private Organisations.
St.John is the smallest EMS-Organisation in Germany, we do Ambulance-
Service at only a few places, but mainly EMS at events, like we do in
Bremen (we have only about 30 volunteers in Bremen).
Tell me about St.John in Canada...Is it a big organisation? Are there a
lot of volunteers? What is St.John doing in Ontario? Only EMS?

Venerdi Novembre 21 1997 14:42, Timur Cetin scriveva a Lorenzo Pulici:
Ok. I have in my hands a EMS frequently asked questions from the Internet
newsgroup alt.med.ems with a wide description of EMS in USA, Australia and
Germany.
In Italy the situation is upset. Events are done overall by commercial
organisation, since they rarely do emergency ambulance service.
In Italy we have following organisations:
- C.R.I. (Croce Rossa Italiana, Italian Red Cross)
- Croce Bianca (White Cross, indipendent from the Red Cross)
- other crosses as Croce Verde, Croce Viola AKA public assistance,
organisations based upon volunteers, members of Italian Public Assistances
Society called A.N.P.AS.
- private organisations mainly devoted to events and non-emergency transports
(hospital to home, for example)
Every region decides how to organize its emergency medical service.
For example here in Lombardia 118 emergency medical number is based on
volunteer's organisations, without any nurse or medic personnel on ambulances
(all BLS) except for helicopter and ALS ambulances during the night that
replace helicopter.
This ALS ambulance here in Milan is composed by:
- driver (volunteer)
- radio operator (volunteer)
- doctor in anesthesiology and reanimatology
- nurse

for
Advanced
EMT-A: EMT, Ambulance
EMT-B: EMT, Basic
EMT-I: EMT, Intermediate (also known as CRT: Cardiac Rescue Technician)
EMT-P: EMT, Paramedic
An EMT-A and EMT-B are very close.  The difference is that an EMT-A was
trained with more knowledge of physiology than an EMT-B which is trained to
focus more on assessments.  EMT-A is being phased out; in my jurisdiction all
EMT-A's must be EMT-B's by December 31st, 1999 so they're not even teaching
the A course anymore around here.  There's a 24 hour "bridge" course they
give which will upgrade your "A" to a "B" certification. (which I did in
March)  In this area, CRT's are being phased out as well, around the same
time frame I believe. After the year 2000, existing CRT's will either have to
take the necessary courses to become a Paramedic or they'll get knocked down
to EMT-B status.  I'm not sure what the logic is behind that, but apparantly
that's what they're doing in this area.
Also, in this area, EMT-A and EMT-B are allowed to defibrillate using an
Automatic External Defibrillator (A.E.D.) but not with a manual defibrillator
which is reserved for use by the CRT's and Paramedics.

assistant: That means, that the whole Emergency Ambulance Service in Italy is based
on the work of volunteers?
I allway thought, that the emergency ambulance service in Italy was done
by the U.S.L.
Here too, each of the 16 German Laender has it's own regulations e.g. wich
emergency telephonnumber is used or wich level of education the personal
has to have.
How many Helecopters or ALS-Ambulances are there for a City the size of
Milan? Here in Bremen, were 500 000 people live, we have 4 ALS-Ambulaces
(with doc), 1 Helecopter and a few dozend BLS-Ambulances.
A nurse with special EMS-training?
