Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters has selected a total of 334 individuals as Heart Savers, Trauma Savers, and Brain Savers.

Heart Savers refer to paramedics who revived cardiac arrest patients using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other methods. Trauma Savers are paramedics who contributed to sustaining life through appropriate treatment of severe trauma patients, and Brain Savers are paramedics who quickly and accurately assessed and transported acute stroke patients, helping to minimize aftereffects.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced on the 25th that at a recently held review committee, they selected 201 Heart Savers, 72 Trauma Savers, and 61 Brain Savers, totaling 334 individuals.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters plans to present certificates along with emblems and badges to the selected Savers within this month.

Jo Sun-ho, head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, emphasized, "We will expand the scope of professional treatment by paramedics and achieve an early breakthrough of a 10% spontaneous circulation recovery rate through continuous quality management in cooperation with hospital medical staff."

Meanwhile, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters encourages improvement in the quality of emergency services by selecting Savers who have revived lives or minimized damage through appropriate emergency treatment of severe emergency patients.

Accordingly, as of the end of June this year, the number of severe disease survivors in the province increased compared to the same period last year by 6.2% (8 people) for cardiac arrest, 22% (13 people) for severe trauma, and 35.3% (24 people) for cerebrovascular diseases.
