Optimization of the emergency services in Bremerhaven

In a recent investigation by the SWR Data Lab, the quality of different emergency services areas was analyzed. The emergency services area in Bremerhaven was also examined in detail. The Bremerhaven fire brigade, responsible for emergency rescue in the city, has now evaluated the results.

City Councilor Skusa, who is responsible for the emergency services, emphasized the importance of such nationwide studies. He praised the approach of comparing work processes, equipment and patient care. Skusa emphasized the continuous search for optimization potential to further improve the excellent emergency services.

A special focus was on the resuscitation on the resuscitation according to cardiovascular arrest. The emergency services in Bremerhaven took extensive measures here to increase efficiency. This includes a structured emergency call query in the integrated regional control center Unterweser-Elm (IRLS) and the inclusion of "mobile rescuers", a first aid system via smartphone.

Another important aspect is the newly introduced “high-performance reanimation team” of the fire brigade, which provides special devices for resuscitation. The figures for 2023 show a positive balance, with 124 documented resuscitation, 70 patients were successfully handed over to the emergency room.

However, those responsible expressed

criticism with regard to the evaluation of the “incoming times” of the emergency services at the site. The head of the fire brigade, Jens Cordes, criticized the comparability of the results and emphasized that the planning in Bremerhaven ensures that the emergency team is on site within 10 minutes in 95 % of the missions.

The transparent representation of the results is crucial to avoid distortions. Despite criticisms, according to internal statistics, the emergency services in Bremerhaven achieved the statutory aid period of 10 minutes in 95 percent of the missions. This shows the efficiency and professionalism of the emergency services in Bremerhaven.

The fire brigade as a emergency service provider will provide the SWR a detailed statement to ensure a transparent presentation. The continuous improvement of the emergency services and the high quality of emergency care are the focus of the efforts in Bremerhaven.
