rescEU EMT’s Post

The new rescEU EMT project introduces itself:

Emergency Medical Teams (#EMT) are in the spotlight of the ongoing Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week—a unique forum for humanitarian networks and partnerships to meet and address key humanitarian issues. Did you know that there are 20 classified Medical Emergency Teams already in the WHO European Region? But that's not all! Over 50 more are currently undergoing rigorous international classification, with extensive training and mentorship supported by WHO and key partners. Building robust national emergency response capacities is a top priority for the WHO European Region, and it's a crucial pillar of the Global EMT 2030 Strategy. Now is the time for governments and donors to step up, join WHO, and invest in strengthening and coordinating surge rapid response health capacity.

Investment and support of the surge capacities such as Emergency Medical Teams and RRMLs return in prompt and effective assistance to people in need and national health systems worldwide 🌏

As 16th October marks World Restart a Heart Day, I can’t help but think about the bigger picture. In South Africa, where out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are a serious issue, teaching CPR is crucial, but it's just one part of a larger system that saves lives. The Global Resuscitation Alliance’s Utstein Recommendations highlight the importance of a coordinated approach - a "chain of survival" that begins with public awareness and community readiness, and continues through swift EMS response and effective hospital care. In this view, saving lives isn’t just about CPR - it's about ensuring every link in this chain works seamlessly. From educating bystanders to optimizing EMS and post-resuscitation care, each step is essential. World Restart a Heart Day reminds us that survival depends on a shared, system-wide effort where communities, healthcare providers, and emergency services all play their part. Embracing this broader, systems-focused approach can make a real difference in improving cardiac arrest outcomes in South Africa. We have done some work on OHCA based on the above - https://lnkd.in/d5Xuy7mt #112 #CCC #OHCA #EMS #SYSTEMSPERSPECTIVES Naqeeb Majiet Willem Stassen

New publication! World Health Organization's Western Pacific Surveillance and Response (WPSAR) journal just published "Modifying routine emergency medical team introductory training to a virtual storytelling (talanoa) format for Pacific island countries and areas," authored by Anthony Cook, Erin Noste and myself. Our article describes how we adapted in-person EMT training to an online webinar format (during the days of extended COVID-19 travel restrictions) specifically for Pacific EMT team members, incorporating Pacific-style "talanoa" into each session to share experiences from past Pacific emergency deployments. https://lnkd.in/dhMWkWZy #EMTeams #Pacific #talanoa

‘Relay in Resuscitation’ Guideline handover of the out-of-hospital-#cardiacarrest patient from #prehospital to in-hospital care 4x400 meter #athletics mixed #relay team from the Netherlands won gold during the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. Individually, the athletes failed to qualify for the final (or did not participate), but as team they won gold. Of course you also need individual class like Femke Bol, but as a team they make the difference. The #handover of the relay stick seems simple but needs efficiënt coördination and training. In the #chain of #survival in #resuscitation every link is important. But an efficiënt coöperation BETWEEN the links is also important. The handover phase is an risky moment (patient safety and lost of CPR continuity) Train not only your part in the chain, but also the efficiënt cooperation between the links in the #chain of #survival. And, just as an relay stick, you need a efficiënt way to handover. You can win GOLD with that. The reason we introduce in the Netherlands an simple and efficient transfer procedure for the #ambulance and #hospital. It helps to minimalize #CPR interuption, lost of information, delay in #defibrillation and it helps to improve #patientsafety.

Understanding the RNome and its regulation for medecin

Last year, MedGlobal was on the frontlines in Lebanon, providing essential medical care to those in critical need. We supported 46 healthcare facilities and reached over 301,362 individuals. MedGlobal has been on the ground from day one of the current conflict, distributing aid where it’s needed most. Today, the need is greater than ever, and your urgent action is essential. Every moment counts. Give today and make a life-saving difference: https://lnkd.in/dNwCRsi
