SUBJECT: MEDIA REPORTING REGARDING MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS OF THE INSTITUTE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE OF SARAJEVO CANTON

Dear,
We hereby address all media that mention the work of our Institute in their reports, with the hope that the current practice will be corrected.
Namely, the reports so far after the interventions of the Sarajevo Emergency Team mostly read: "the injured person was transported to the hospital" or "transferred to the hospital where help is provided". In this regard, we would like to inform you that a medical team of at least three members is sent to the KS Emergency Department as soon as possible, after professional triage: a doctor (usually an emergency medicine specialist) and two emergency medical technicians, with additional training. from Emergency Medicine, with the most modern equipment. According to current medical protocols, certain American and European resuscitation bodies (AHA and ERC), every injured or sick person is primarily examined on the spot, he is given immediate emergency medical care, the patient is properly immobilized and stabilized, necessary therapy is prescribed, and professional medical supervision during medical transport to the hospital, with monitoring of all vital parameters.
Please take into account in your texts this professional and professional attitude towards the sick, injured and injured, and therefore we suggest the following text in media coverage:
"Upon the arrival of the ambulance team on the spot, the injured / sick person was provided with professional medical assistance, and under professional medical supervision he was transported to the appropriate medical institution, in order to continue the medical care, ie treatment."
