Emergency Physicians In Europe: Have Cars, Will Travel.
Emergency medicine at Rostock Hospital, in Germany, and throughout much of Europe, is a mobile profession for physicians.
Emergency medical personnel are typically joined by physicians at the scene of an accident or medical event. The physicians travel in emergency cars equipped with basic medical supplies and, in the case of Rostock, an InSpectra StO2 Monitor.
The InSpectra StO2 Monitor has been a valuable asset because it supports the overall goal of this system which is to provide faster patient resuscitation.
Rostock has four emergency cars, as well as 16 ambulances, providing pre-hospital attention to 36,000 cases a year.
