Abstract

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an integral part of a paramedic’s work. Sooner or later they will come across it in their work. From the point of view of a specialist team, the case is clear, since the decision to implement cardiopulmonary resuscitation or not is made by a physician. The problem arises when the decision must be made by a paramedic, who has no right to pronounce death. In most cases, a specialist emergency medical team is sent to a call „hanged”, but if it is unavailable, a dispatcher is obliged to dispatch the nearest emergency medical team – it may be a basic ambulance.
