title: [Rescue service: initial measures on the spot and in hospital (author's transl)].
abstract: Improvement of any rescue service is inextricably bound up with the provision of optimal conditions with regard to first aid at the site of the accident, transport and immediate care in hospital. Only properly trained and experienced doctors are able to take appropriate life-saving action on the spot. Therefore ane should aim at getting the doctor to the site of the accident by helicopter or by ambulance as fast as possible. After immediate life-saving action has been taken, the various injuries should also be provisionally attended to as well as possible. The entire scope of these problems was discussed at the refresher course.
