Three paramedics from the Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station (Chief Choi Jeong-sik) were selected as outstanding paramedics and received the Chosun University Hospital Director's Award.

According to the Bukbu Fire Station on the 23rd, three paramedics from the Usan 119 Safety Center were selected as the "2023 Gwangju Regional Outstanding Paramedics."

The Smart Medical Guidance pilot project is a program aimed at improving the return of spontaneous circulation rate of cardiac arrest patients by enabling 119 paramedics on site and medical institution doctors to perform emergency treatment at the level of a hospital emergency room during transport through smartphone video calls when a cardiac arrest patient occurs.

This commendation was held for the first time by Chosun University Hospital, the institution running the Smart Medical Guidance pilot project, to honor the efforts of 119 paramedics working to improve the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients.

Among 63 cases of patient resuscitation through the implementation of Smart Medical Guidance in the Gwangju area from January to September this year, the cardiac arrest patient resuscitation case that occurred around 1:08 a.m. on April 1, in which three paramedics from the Usan 119 Safety Center of the Bukbu Fire Station were dispatched, was selected as an excellent case of Smart Medical Guidance.

Choi Jeong-sik, Chief of Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station, said, "I commend the efforts of paramedics who do their best at every moment on site to save the lives of cardiac arrest patients," and added, "Please continue to actively engage in emergency activities for the lives of citizens."
