In Ukraine, the work of the ambulance has been optimized and a new procedure has been approved for determining the priority of citizens’ appeals.
The corresponding decision was made by the Cabinet of Ministers, said Deputy Aleksai Goncharenko on his Telegram channel.
Thus, citizen complaints were divided into four categories: critical, urgent, non-urgent, non-essential.
The politician also explained how exactly this or that category is determined:
Critical cases
These cases are accompanied by:
- shortness of breath
- ineffective breathing;
- signs of massive blood loss.
They can be caused by:
- all kinds of injuries of different etiology;
- the influence of external factors (electric shocks, lightning, etc.);
- intoxication and poisoning, including bites from animals, insects, etc.
- acute chronic diseases.
Cases of emergency
These cases are accompanied by:
- violation of conscience;
- signs of bleeding;
- signs of acute coronary syndrome;
- signs of acute stroke;
- respiratory disorder;
- other signs.
They can be caused by:
- all kinds of injuries of different etiology;
- the influence of external factors (electric shocks, lightning, etc.);
- intoxication and poisoning, including bites from animals, insects, etc.
- acute chronic diseases.
Cases that are not emergency or basic
These include cases where the patient’s / victim’s condition does not require immediate medical intervention and the delay in the arrival of the ambulance does not pose a threat to the life and health of the patient. When the patient / victim does not need a health assessment by a health worker.
“This should optimize the ambulance,” says the message.
It is also observed that the standard for the arrival of an ambulance in critical cases is up to 10 minutes. An emergency call: 20 minutes.
It was previously reported that Ukrainians can request a mobile team to test for COVID-19 themselves.
We also posted instructions and told how to get compensation for injuries on ice.
