The Effectiveness of Basic Resuscitation Activities Carried out by Combat Paramedics of the Police, as Exemplified by Polish Counterterrorist Units
Abstract
The tasks carried out by Police officers are often accompanied by dangerous situations that threaten the life and health of the people involved, the police themselves, and bystanders. It concerns especially counter-terrorism police units whose activities are aimed at terrorists and particularly dangerous criminals, and their course is violent and aggressive. In conjunction with the inability to bring civilian rescue services into the action zone, this results in the need to expand the assault team by including one more specialisation — combat paramedic, having the appropriate knowledge, skills and qualifications, as well as equipment that allows for independent first aid while the operations are underway. A paramedic’s preparation must be versatile, but the key to effective action is the ability to perform basic activities, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, after the diagnosis of sudden cardiac arrest. The study aims to present the results of research conducted on a fairly unique research sample regarding the effectiveness of indirect heart massage by combat paramedics of police special units and conclusions resulting from empirical research and their comparison with the results of similar studies, in relation to other professional groups. The knowledge and skills acquired during the training quickly become obsolete, requiring systematic consolidation and improvement. Therefore, cyclical repetition of exercises in the area of rescue activities plays a key role in maintaining the required quality of life support. The collected material may be a premise for further research, indicating their potential directions.
