How much is it to call an ambulance once？ Can you specify a hospital？ Take you to uncover the mystery of 120.
Speaking of 120, everyone knows it is an emergency hotline, but do you know how to communicate with the dispatcher in case of emergency? What can be done in the process of waiting?
Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about those things about 120 ~
When can I call 120?
As a life-saving first aid channel, the number of 120 patients is still huge, especially when some disasters occur. Therefore, each of us should learn when to call 120 and how to call 120, so as to minimize the unnecessary occupation of emergency resources and improve the efficiency of asking for help.
The following eight situations occur, so be sure to dial 120.
(1) Sudden heart attack, such as severe arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, acute heart failure, etc.;
(2) Shock or collapse, such as pale face, cold sweat dripping, weak pulse frequency, and decreased blood pressure;
(3) cerebrovascular accidents, such as loss of consciousness, coma, stroke, hemiplegia, etc.;
(4) massive hematemesis and hemoptysis;
(5) Severe dyspnea or asphyxia, such as foreign body blocking the respiratory tract;
(6) All kinds of acute poisoning, such as food poisoning, drug poisoning, pesticide poisoning, taking poison, etc.;
(7) Unexpected disasters, such as lightning, drowning, electric shock, traffic accidents and other industrial injuries, trauma, civil collapse and extrusion;
(8) Other conditions that may endanger the patient’s life, such as severe burns and frostbite.
If the patient does not have the above eight serious conditions, but his condition or injury tends to deteriorate, he should also call 120 for help in time.
# Tips #
Never think that it will be faster and more convenient to drive the patient to the hospital than to call an ambulance!
120 Emergency personnel will give patients some emergency rescue and diagnosis before the hospital, and report to the hospital, which is convenient for the hospital to prepare for receiving doctors. The medical equipment on the ambulance can also rescue patients in emergencies.
At the same time, when the ambulance is in danger, it will sound an alarm, and social vehicles will pay attention to giving way, so as to facilitate the patient to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
So, next, Xiaobian will tell you what to pay attention to when dialing 120 ~
What should I pay attention to when dialing 120?
Xiaobian first gives you a wrong example:
"My grandfather fell to his head! Come quickly! "
"Ok, what’s the address?"
"My community, send someone quickly!"
"Excuse me, where is your community?"
"Beeping …"
Do you think this is a bit exaggerated? Don’t believe it, this is what really happened.
Although the emergency center can get the exact location through mobile phone positioning, it also delays the emergency time. So what is the correct method?
Knowing the correct way to dial 120, I believe many friends still have questions: "Which hospital can I choose for the 120 ambulance?" "Do you want to charge?"
How is 120 allocated?
1 Distribution system
Generally speaking, ambulances are commanded and dispatched by the 120 Command and Dispatching Center, which uniformly allocates the emergency resources of the whole city and treats emergency patients in different levels and districts. In the case of unstable patients’ condition, it is not allowed to designate hospitals for the first aid.
PS: If the patient’s condition is stable, there are no special circumstances that can be sent to the designated hospital according to the wishes of the patient or his family.
2 charging system
As a special vehicle equipped with professional medical equipment and emergency personnel, ambulances are not free of charge and are not covered by medical insurance reimbursement.
Ambulance expenses generally include two parts: ambulance expenses and pre-hospital first aid expenses.
Ambulance fee
The ambulance fee includes a fixed use fee (starting price) plus a kilometer fee. In case of waiting for a bus, a waiting fare will be charged.
Take Fuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital affiliated to Fuzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an example;
The charge for an ambulance within 3 kilometers is 200-300 yuan, and for each additional kilometer, the charge is 8-10 yuan, and the part less than one kilometer is counted as one kilometer.
(The local regulations are slightly different. The local regulations shall prevail.)
Pre-hospital first aid fee
Pre-hospital emergency expenses refer to all kinds of expenses incurred by a series of first aid, medicines and medical supplies before being sent to the hospital.
Some cities will also charge stretcher fees according to elevator rooms or staircase rooms, and the fees on different floors are also different.
Xiaobian reminder
These fees are uniformly stipulated by local provinces and cities, and all fees are based on standards, which are not casually mentioned by hospitals, so you don’t have to worry too much!
After making an emergency call, it always feels like a long time to wait for an ambulance. What else can we do for the patients during the waiting process?
