Jeju Fire Station Conducts Special Training for Emergency Childbirth Situations

Jeju Fire Station conducted special training from the 20th to the 21st to prepare for emergency childbirth situations in ambulances or at home.

According to Jeju Fire Station on the 22nd, the average annual number of pregnant women transported within the province over the past three years is 69 cases. Due to Jeju's unique characteristics, where rapid transport is hindered by various weather conditions such as heavy snow and typhoons, thorough preparation for emergency childbirth during transport is required.

This training involved about 80 paramedics, with a professional emergency instructor who has clinical experience in obstetrics serving as the instructor.

The training covered various necessary aspects of childbirth, including ▲anatomy and physiology of pregnant women ▲emergency childbirth procedures ▲emergency childbirth team tactical practice ▲newborn assessment and emergency care, as well as various treatments for urgent situations such as maternal cardiac arrest.

Chief Yang Young-seok said, “Emergency transport of pregnant women is the only situation where two lives can be saved in one ambulance,” and added, “We will do our best to protect both the mother and the precious new life in any environment.”

Meanwhile, there are eight obstetrics and gynecology clinics capable of delivery in Jeju Province, including three general hospitals.
