摘要

  依據消防法第一條規定消防三大任務為預防火災、搶救災害及緊急救護,一旦火警狀況發生時,必定投入大量之消防人力進行各項救災工作,但是緊急救護呢?是否有大量的消防人力投入此項任務?各縣市能支出的預算有限,人力也無法補足,市民對緊急救護的要求標準愈來愈高,消防單位雖勤於訓練救護技術,但是消防工作繁重且雜亂,執行緊急救護勤務時往往受制於現況,真正專業淪為空談。此一研究主要探討目前消防單位緊急救護執行現況再以文獻回顧方式了解救護工作的重要及參照國外救護模式提供政府單位在人力、物力、財力資源有限下如何經營到院前緊急救護這個區塊作日後施政參酌。

ABSTRACT

  In accordance with Article One of Fire Services Act, three major tasks of Fire Service are fire prevention, disaster relief, and emergency rescue. If fire takes place, Fire Service must gather fire manpower to process the relief work according to the size of fire disaster and following rescue actions. Would it be possible to gather such manpower to respond instantly if the emergent situation for first aid requires massive resource to relief? Owing to limited budget for the local governments, the human resource for first aid can not recruit enough manpower to fulfill the higher quality request from the citizens. The increasing work loading other than fire-fighting and first aid response has made it more difficult to maintain their proficiency although the fire department constantly put efforts on sophisticated train to enhance firefighters’ rescue skills.
  Current paper investigates the implementation on first aid of Taiwan local governmental fire service by case studies. Through literature reviews and first aid model utilized in foreign countries, the role of first aid is clarified and suggestion is made for the policymaker to manage a more efficient first aid system with limited manpower, resource and budget.
