congratulations nuclear koval and this is about health during the war for the sake of everyone. this is the slogan of the ukrainian volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists and the whole essence of their work. angels on the front lines are taken out of hell and fight for the life of every wounded person. hot spots of ukraine provide assistance to military volunteers and civilians who are in the war zone and need emergency medical assistance for urgent operations or treatment at the front each a minute for the weight of life and the hospitalists do not miss this time because the medics of the battalion do not sit in the rear , but are directly in combat positions with the ukrainian military 24 hours a day, so they act

instantly directly in battle and evacuate, stabilize and transport the wounded from the red zone to stabilization points or front-line hospitals and clinics thanks to efficiency and coordination, we take care and reclaimed thousands of lives from death without sparing our own. in our publications, we talk a lot about medicine in the rear today we will learn about your paramedicine and field hospitals, this topic without exaggeration is now vitally important and we will start with the story of anna olenkova, she learned who the hospitalists are and whether it is possible to join the ranks of the medvedt thousands of rescued soldiers thousands of evacuated special points wounded volunteers from the medical battalion hospitalists from in 2014, they save ukrainians in hot spots yes yes right sector

during rocket attacks under artillery fire they will come and take out those from hell who needs medical help, does the first aid slap us on the back from ordinary people to professional doctors, each member of the organization fulfills its role and helps, or can the hospitalists provide help in several directions , these are cases of evacuation directly from the battlefield, a friend - this is a medical evacuation in a medical vehicle where

professionals work medics and the third - these are stabilization points where we have surgeons and professional medics who can stabilize soldiers with critical wounds, the majority of wounded military and civilians saved and evacuated precisely thanks to the hospitalists naturally from those 300, that is, the wounded, no matter how severe they were, they reached us. they actually reached the hospitals alive, doctors from smedyka, a couple of medics, volunteers, ordinary ukrainians, they are united by the desire to help speed up victory and minimize losses that's why they worked and work without rest, we had situations of 60 wounded per day, 70 wounded per day, 40 came to one stabilization fund , it was within an hour of hospitalists , foreigners who want to help join to the ukrainians in our struggle. in general, today we have added six new crews, while

we have added an english-speaking crew to almost every crew because, in principle , a lot of people are coming from all countries of the world now who understand the threat from russia, understand that they can be next and they they want to help in whatever way they can be most useful to the medical battalion, hospitalists, it has been eight years since the war in ukraine continues, doctors are volunteers and right now they are saving lives on the front line at the risk of actually remembering what is your name and what unit is there 1 1 normal normal well , while they are rescuing our soldiers and civilians, we also should not sit idly by, how each of us can join the rescue and how to help the medic, we will talk now and find out all

the details of that how does medicine function at the forefront, contact us paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists olena gerasimyuk mrs. olena i congratulate you i congratulate you thank you for the invitation olena i know that you are a writer in general, so please tell me how many of you there are representatives of non-medical professions in hospitals, thank you for an interesting question , there are indeed many people among us who are united by the idea of ​​saving lives, and these are people of completely different professions of course , the backbone of our battalion is made up of people who have a medical profession, but let's say that i am a writer. my colleague who is currently teaching people is music, that is, we have a lot of creative and creative people, and i think this has a positive effect on the way we teach

people, how we work and so on, in general, if we talk about the volunteers who are now in your ranks, how many people are there and who are these people who are part of the network of hospitals in the first place, when the full-scale war began, the first to arrive at the base and start working were those who already i was a hospitalist, so i already had this experience earlier in the war, and who knew what to do, then a lot of people joined us, it’s difficult for me to name the number, but so that you plus or minus understand how we work now on the front line in our country more than 60 crews. that is, multiply it by five people in srednyi and we understand how big this number is, how many people are actually the union of this one body, in which cities do you currently work, i

can tell the directions because we now understand that uh, there is a period such a maneuverable war is enough, and these points can change depending on the operational situation, but now we actually cover the entire front line, that is, we are not allowed to increase the number of crews, we have crews in the donetsk luhansk direction as a standard, since it was additional large-scale help from the headquarters of the next one, and there are still a few wishes left for the reinforcement of the kyiv region, for example, there is in the kharkiv region, there is in the zaporizhzhia region, that is, where there is a real need to save lives, where there is a need for our crews ms. olena that's me i understood that the rescue of the wounded takes place in several stages and the work of the medical battalion has several directions. can you tell me about it, how it all happens, first of all, on

the battlefield itself. with the corresponding colors, let's say the red zone is the place where you provide help. under fire. that is, it is the direct place of damage to a person, and the red zone is accordingly the most dangerous. on the pre-measurement, the stars are red, the yellow zone is a conditionally safe zone. but again, the keyword is conditional, because the tactical situation can change and, accordingly, the yellow zone can become a red zone . that is, this is a place where you can provide help absolutely free, absolutely safe, mainly this is work at stabilization points and er at the hospital, but in addition to helping on the front line and

evacuating the wounded, unfortunately, the bodies of our fallen defenders er, we are also engaged in training er, in particular, now our previous base is now in the conditional yellow zone where there are shellings and so on. this training is not only for the military, it is also training for civilians. but again, the war put collectives in our plans, and unfortunately, we took a little pause, but i am assured that it is temporary . we save people, there is such a certain educational activity, that is, we speak out and

tell exactly what our idea is, this is our mission, and somehow we buy people to learn how to live themselves, how to save their loved ones, and what to do when, god forbid, it became practical a life-threatening situation because i i wanted to ask you if you have enough hands at all to save the wounded and if you need replenishment in your ranks. currently, we have a certain pause with the recruitment of people because a lot of volunteers have responded to our zak and i think that gradually we will recruit people although now we, you can say, we will play with our own strength, although the situation, you understand, is very critical, and we understand that uh, how much if we talk about the fact that there is enough of something, for example, there are hands? not

we know what russia will do tomorrow, how are they still going to change their minds, fire at us, kill us? yes, but we understand that the situation changes every day, and we can even say not every day. and on azovstal and together with all of them were captured, we know that one of them was tyra, she was fortunately released. tyras, she is our sister, but she is from the organization angels tyler. she is the commander of this unit, as well as yana zinkevich, the commander of the hospitalists . prisoners,

unfortunately, the situation regarding prisoners is a rather difficult situation, and i have to choose the words to say about it, first of all, because it is possible that some information may threaten those who are currently in captivity , because of the connection with the gustiliers. you understand this yourself. where are the russians like a red fox, so i'm very sorry, but i'm going to leave this question out of the answer. it 's because of what i said for the sake of the safety of those people who are currently in the zone. i hope that if there are any changes, we will definitely write it on our page but at the moment, first of all, we are concerned about the fact that those people who are in captivity, who have any connection with us, they do not have additional reasons in prison for these tortures . everything else that does eh really with our animal russia mrs. elena, i am also with you i believe that as i think, as do all our ukrainians. those who

are watching us now believe that everyone will return from captivity and everyone will be alive and well. i thank you for your work and for joining our broadcast. thank you and with us on the contact was the paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists olena gerasimyuk, and as you already understood, today we are talking specifically about hospitalists . more than 800 paramedics in one training are trained 10-20 volunteers how do they become hospitalists and what is necessary for this we will talk now and contact us paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion hospitalists iryna tsybukh iru i congratulate you good afternoon we have already

seen in our story that there are trainings for paramedics, tell me if anyone who wants to can attend this kind of training, to undergo training and become a hospitalist, and if there are any special selection criteria, first of all, you need to understand that a paramedic yes, he is a person who is constantly learning and it is impossible in a few days, a few weeks to learn and become a chicken cooper forever but this is a process that takes a long time, from the moment you decided to become a champion to the moment when you are, well , in my case, probably ready for this job to leave there for some reason a-a and accordingly it is necessary to study every day at the moment we have adapted to the conditions of war and with an understanding of how necessary it

is now to take high-quality medicine and provide assistance according to the march protocol, and that is why our training continued four or five days and the battalion was counting on logistics, dad, this means that if we need drivers, that's why we recruit drivers why should these people be given help according to their competence and their task if we need doctors and surgeons, for example, that's why we hire these people and train them according to the strengthened program, before the full-scale war, we had a week, and during this week, in addition to qualitative knowledge about the march and this protocol, a couple of doctors of the future also received stress tests, which, in my opinion, was enough an important and key language in order to become a winner, because so far we have had the experience of training people without a stress test who simply

received high-quality access to the instruction protocol and already went into battle with an understanding of how to provide assistance but at the same time they needed information about what will happen to their body and their psyche when they get to the field on the battlefield, so i hope that now we will have the opportunity to restore a training center in which we can continue to not only teach how to provide help and we will teach them and show them what a stress test is, even from my own experience i can say 10% of what you will experience on the battlefield, but it is nevertheless some part of the opportunity to understand yourself and your reactions when you you pull out this trench, i promised that when it rains down on you, firecrackers burst and all these other indicators of this passion that a fighter goes through when he studies with us. therefore, this is also quite an important part. i hope that now we will restore the base. i hope

that now those people who came new on full large-scale wars, they will be able to get advanced training, and we will now direct our forces to this very thing, we will gather crews who are already directed, who already have some experience in providing assistance, and we can see how high-quality this experience is, because they are moving according to the protocol that we taught them however, it is necessary to understand that the improvement of qualifications includes a much wider range of manipulations, training that our fighters should already be able to do, and we make this our first priority, and the second priority is directly recruitment of new participants because it is necessary to understand that hospitalists of the volunteer battalion a and b we have some, well, to a certain extent, turnover of personnel and therefore we will make new recruitments in the same way and we announce this on our pages on facebook or instagram because if someone wants us to join welcome, we are very happy for new people, but you don't

need to follow them on facebook or instagram, a child passes more than once, and periodically you need to update your knowledge in one of those who are directly on the battlefield and carry out this evacuation wounded, so tell me the composition of your crew and how it all happens, in general, the battalion provides trilanges of aid, i will tell you about my crew, i have a fifth crew, and we provide two of them, and then i will tell you about the third. so, we have some evacuation i work for casey evacuation, this means that i evacuate people from the battlefield. and we have a pickup truck that is more passable than a medical car than a medical car in those difficult areas of the front, this is the logic of casey evacuation that we are less visible in its disguise by car and we go off-road in order to go

without trenches or directly from the gods we go with soldiers in battle er e evacuate soldiers with a polyp so that it is a sudden evacuation so that the fighter does not have the opportunity er to be wounded for some time yes that is, we very quickly we react and at most exactly eight to five minutes pass when we reach the soldier and start helping him, at the same time it is necessary to understand that we have taken on the responsibility of training the medics of the corps by some of these people on the battlefield, and you before that they showed a video and we taught the marines because we are its crew works with the marines we taught them how to render aid and i know that at the moment until this batch 5 minutes until i get to the wounded they will render aid qualitatively and then it starts to work as sometimes we start to work immediately on the battlefield depends on the task we are performing because we switch to

stormtroopers with these beautiful soldiers or the marines, all incredibly cool fighters and i always say that we must pray for the marines because they are you can see now on the video that they are studying despite the fact that they are tired, they are playing sports despite the fact that they have been at the forefront for a long time, and so on, and we support them all the time, we remind him that because it is peremotional - it is fine motor skills, it is about muscle memory it's about how you can handle a stressful situation with your hands when you're afraid not to put a tourniquet on yourself. and it's about how you can remember how to restore the patency of the respiratory tract to your brother and so on. so, actually, we provide the first stage and ensure his evacuation with a polyp and bring to a safer zone, which is usually also quite difficult to evacuate, why is it difficult because if we are fired upon by mines and if i can be in a close combat, then i have a stranger usually standing in a city where they are shelling with hail and

it is scary to lose team it's scary that someone from the team will be injured and of course it's scary for the cars and that we can lose the means with which we directly evacuate and take out the wounded, in fact, i hand over the wounded to the medical evacuation and already in the medical evacuation they work with there are two methods in my crew, and the medic who came from germany for the other is our ukrainian very cool surgeon, and they transfer people to the stabilization point or to a medical institution. and you have to understand that sometimes the hospitalists also provide the third stage. and this is the stabilization point, task number we talked about elena in spain, ms. irina and ms. elena, and we talked about certain stages that hospitalists go through , how it all works. i also want to ask you about medicines and hemostatic and dressing materials. do you have in general, how do you replenish

them because, as far as i understand, this is the main thing you need for work, yes, and actually you need to understand that we are completely dependent on people, we do not count on state support, because we are a volunteer battalion and here human resource , volunteer resource, and the activity of people who know us and support us is the key, because this is not a thermal imager, and i always say that the step back device cannot be charged, you cannot buy new batteries for it, we are constantly working with by consumptives, each wounded er takes a certain amount of those consumptives of hemostatic materials in the infusion to restore the volume of fluid in the body and this means that we constantly need help, we constantly need hemostatic agents, we constantly need to restore the resource when i return from the rotation, we

before the rotation, we fill the whole car with everything we need, our backpacks, and all the shelves. we take a few boxes back to kyiv. kyiv we count on our base, we will be able to fill this car again and go to the trough to save lives. and that is why we depend so much on having these hemostatic agents, on the extent to which people will understand that this regularity of assistance is very important, and that it is necessary all it's time to be with the hospital workers and help us so that we can work on the front line. we are very connected here with volunteers and people who just come to us 11 who are ready to spend something from poland who are ready to find some means to deliver the parcel this everything is a big body, a lot of structural help, which in the end gives my backpack filled in order to save people's lives , and we are very dependent on that, because you have to

understand that we constantly work for ourselves with materials that need to be restored, mrs. iryna, that is, i understood you correctly. and the state to you only people do not help at all, maybe some international companies help, maybe some charitable organizations . could come there for cooperation in order to transfer a certain number of petitions to an individual who can transfer 10 hryvnias to the account of the battalion that one thing or another actually plays a key role for us in the end result, we have all these means in order to restore it's life to save life, and the state. don't take part in this , because it doesn't have such tools, because it's my volunteer battalion, neither me nor elena. none of us receives a salary, we do it on a volunteer basis

. and that's why we we are looking for it ourselves the opportunity to have all these materials, to have a car, to be able to refuel them, to have ammunition , armor, and this is not only about medical supplies, and this is all a large organism, and everyone who is in the battalion must be provided with what i have listed, every car must be refueled and well, accordingly , there is a lot of work, and because of this, we always need the help of people, and mrs. iryna. when we were talking about these stages, you said that you were taking them to the stabilization points . is wounded. and what's next does the crew, are you returning to the battlefield again or what have you been doing since

you started the rotation ? it has already happened more than once that my water while my medical evacuation brought the wounded man to the stabilization point , stabilized him in the car and they do a really large set of manipulations in the medical car, i have already been on the battlefield and from the battlefield i was evacuating the next injured person, we just crossed paths on the way and i would have given it to their car of the injured person. we are always on duty, you are modern tensions, uh, and day and night. we remember journalists came to me and they say when you have a break you will come to us and it was so unexpected. i couldn't think that anyone has an option if the medics can have a break at the front, the fighters are saving themselves, the fighters can build to sleep, he doesn't listen to the radio, but the medics no, we are on duty all the time a-a and as soon as my medical the evacuation takes them to the stabilization point, they

immediately turn to the duty point and take turns waiting, we all always hope we hope that we will not have work and that we will just drink mojitos where everyone can rest, but unfortunately for now the situation at the front is quite tense and because of that we have many tasks and we work constantly, ira, that is, i understand you correctly, this is non-stop work, you have no rest at all, yes, and this is actually the reason why i joined the volunteer battalion, because i understand that after because just two weeks or a month has a critical, critical, stressful workload. i can come. now i have come to apply. i am now in my apartment in kyiv, and i can take a breather. i can switch gears. if i was on dan's contract and in another service, i felt this tension all the time without being able to breathe. you must understand that the intensity

of medical care is psychologically significant, it is very difficult, and starting from the fact that you know every wounded person you work with. you know who to their family, you know that now his wife will call you to ask how he is and so on and exactly the same story with the people who died, we also have to evacuate them and usually we are working. if this person died, it was, of course, shoes wounds, and the same story happens here, my sister writes to me recently, she wrote to one of the soldiers who died. he died. and his own body, um, well , they picked it up in pieces, and she doesn’t believe that this is her brother, and i perfectly understand and she wants me to tell her that it's not him and i also understand that, but you have to understand how much of a burden it is for medics psychologically. it's very difficult, that's why i'm glad i'm in the hospital, because i can change my mind, i can

try to breathe a little, realize what happened to me and go back to the front line already on july 15th, i'll go back and we'll work ira since units of the armed forces of ukraine and volunteers can be accompanied by bear hospitalists, that is, paramedics are attached to some military units, or how exactly do you decide where you should be on duty, well, this is the specific task of our combatant and her assistants, they have established cooperation with the armed forces. i know and see how much at least these areas where we worked worked, how much the armed forces are interested and well, i'm sorry . crews, she is very high at a high level, and she sees it, and actually in my case, i am recommended to one of the companies of the marine corps. i am completely subordinate to

the command of the marine corps, and our crew and our members of this crew, we are fixed and we have cooperation with the chief medical officer of this brigade and we have all the infrastructure together, which we set up near the evacuation, the message before the assistance , the description of the injuries and what kind of assistance was provided, this is all also not a small part of the work we do in order to everything was documented with high quality and then these fighters could have decent payments for the fact that they were also wounded, and actually according to my example. i think that we have very similar cooperation in all other areas. but there are essentially two types or we are fixed by positions or we are attached to a specific brigade and usually this is the second option ira, i want to thank you for joining our broadcast today and wish you good health, patience and strength. thank you once again and you were in touch with us
