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)

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.

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.

Das sagen unsere Kursteilnehmer

Helios Klinik Rottweil Dr. med. Wolfgang Heinz

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

GE Healthcare Tino Philippi

"In recent years, it has been shown that pocket-sized portable 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 preclinical decisions that can optimize the further course of treatment."

DRF Luftrettung Dr. med. Henning Blaich

"Especially in preclinical emergency medicine, sonography considerably expands the differential diagnostic possibilities. The sonography course is the ideal practical training for this."
