During this training, participants will deepen their victim first-aid skills to better collaborate with medical teams
This weekend, the Ibiza company will also oversee medical security for the AXE Apollo Space Jump event
IBIZA, June 21, 2013 (IMAM COMUNICACIÓN)
Ibiza company Emergency Staff will deliver a course today and tomorrow for the Santa Eulalia Local Police on automated external defibrillator (AED) operation. As Training Director Andrés García explained: “In addition to AED operation and advanced life support maneuvers, we will cover patient mobilization and immobilization,” adding that “they will gain the necessary skills to collaborate with emergency services more efficiently.” This is the first course delivered by Emergency Staff on the island for this police department, taking place at the municipal police headquarters.
As García highlighted: “In addition to defibrillators, police patrol cars carry first aid kits and oxygen therapy equipment, so our job will be to refresh and expand their knowledge.” The company’s Training Director noted that “it is about endowing professionals who will operate defibrillators with precise knowledge so they know how to use them during emergencies.” These courses are certified by the Balearic Government and feature significant practical components alongside theoretical modules split across two days. As García noted, “in this course, as in all ours, we have reserved plenty of surprises for the practical phase, as we consider it vital for participants to know how to act under stress, so we will place them in challenging scenarios.”
Emergency Staff’s Training Director specified that most cardiorespiratory arrests occur outside hospital settings, “making it essential for these devices to be deployed across public locations to save lives—and especially for first responder teams like the police to carry them in order to buy critical time and save lives.” He added that these devices “are very simple to use and extremely safe for patients.”
Emergency Staff distributes next-generation defibrillators on the island—something that the Training Director considers “extremely positive, as we can directly recommend the most suitable model for each case, demonstrate its operation, and resolve any issues.” As García emphasized, “we believe it is vital that all of us responding to emergencies know how to act, and going further, how to collaborate with one another to provide higher quality care.” In this regard, the company has worked with various public administrations and security forces, such as Civil Protection teams in Sant Josep, Sant Antoni, and Ibiza Town, as well as Consell staff who also received AED training. García recalled that last week they conducted a course for the Civil Guard on the island regarding drug intoxications. The Training Director stressed that “both institutions and business owners are recognizing how vital it is for high-density venues to be safe, which is very positive for Ibiza.”
AXE Apollo Space Jump
On the other hand, García noted that this weekend Emergency Staff will ensure the safety of attendees and participants at the AXE Apollo Space Jump, an event expected to gather thousands of people at Ibiza harbor. To achieve this, they will deploy a multi-zone medical operation covering perimeters both on land and in the water. The team will comprise doctors, nurses, ambulances, and Civil Protection volunteers.
Andrés García detailed that “due to the scale of this event and the large crowd expected, around fifteen of our professionals will be deployed on land in case of incidents among attendees, and aboard a boat in case someone falls into the water or a participant is injured,” he concluded. In this way, the Ibiza company will cover any medical needs arising among both attendees and participants.
