Courses in critical care transport

Do you regularly transport extremely ill patients in critical care? Take part in our courses for critical care transport, based on a curriculum from the German Interdisciplinary Association for Critical Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI). We prepare you for all relevant patient conditions, share practice-based tips and train you within realistic simulation scenarios. You are given the optimal preparation for your missions.

Medical simulation (training)
Medical simulation (training)

You can look forward to our extensive experience and ultra-modern simulator technology in our medical simulation (training) . Done directly at DRF Luftrettung’s bases, it teaches you live-saving medical responses and actions, e.g. how to deal with difficult airways. The training also focuses on the ‘human factors’ of interaction. These factors frequently determine whether or not a treatment is successful, just like the intensive debriefings that are integrated into the course and deepen your learning process.

Ultrasound courses
Ultrasound courses

Ultrasound is something in which we hold many years’ expertise. Benefit from our extensive experience in our basic training for emergency ultrasound as well as our refresher course. We offer you both courses in preclinical ultrasound for emergency and hospital doctors, HEMS TC members and paramedics based on the specifications of the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM).

HHO emergency doctor training
HHO emergency doctor training

Held at the Stiftung Bergwacht foundation’s ultra-modern Centre for Safety and Education (Zentrum für Sicherheit und Ausbildung) in Bad Tölz, we train emergency doctors on complex mission processes and rescue techniques and on how to treat special types of injuries on hoist missions. Participants benefit from our many years of experience in medical emergencies and in operating winches from helicopters.

Critical care transports often involve patients with complex illnesses or injuries and therefore place special demands on the emergency services. In our critical care transport course, we deepen and practice the relevant knowledge and skills with you. (Source: DRF Luftrettung)

Our expertise in emergency medicine  

Our ambition is to provide the best care possible for the well-being of our patients. Every human life is unique and valuable.  

In over 45 years of emergency rescue and critical care, we have developed an extensive trove of experience and knowledge. We wish to use it to support other mission crews, because we can only achieve the best for our patients when we work together. 

For maximum professionalism on rescue missions 

To meet our high quality standards, we continually enhance the ultra-modern medical technology that we use and the methods that we apply. We also regularly revise our training and professional-development concepts in line with the latest pedagogical and academic findings.  

Take part in our courses and benefit from our valuable tips, our findings from academia and research and our extensive experience.

"As emergency physicians, we have to make the right therapeutic-tactical decisions for our patients as quickly as possible in order to optimise treatment right from the start. The DRF Luftrettung concept - bringing ultrasound diagnostics to the emergency patient - expands our diagnostic possibilities enormously."

"In recent years, it has become clear that portable, pocket-sized ultrasound systems can have a significant impact on the quality and outcome of patient care. As the first device of its kind, the Vscan Dual with 2-in-1 transducer supports numerous important ultrasound procedures at variable locations. This allows the primary care team to make important decisions pre-clinically that can optimise the subsequent course of treatment."

"Especially in pre-hospital emergency medicine, sonography considerably expands the differential diagnostic possibilities. For this, the sonography course is the ideal practice-based training."
