Gewöhnt man sich an schlimme Einsätze?
Hey
Bin 16 und weiß jetzt schon seit ziemlich langer Zeit das ich später gerne im Rettungsdienst arbeiten möchte. Bin auch schon im brk und hab schon bei einigen Festen und Sportveranstaltungen geholfen. Da bei sowas aber meist nie irgendwas schlimmes passiert hab ich mit so ,,traumatischen Einsätzen” null Erfahrung. Deswegen wollte ich mal fragen ob man sich an so schlimme Einsätze (Reanimation,schwere Unfälle etc.) irgendwann gewöhnt oder wie man damit umgeht.
Denn wenn ich ehrlich bin hab ich große Angst davor das mich des psychisch komplett durchnehmen wird.
Dankeschön🫶

I would like to put two terms into space here: one is reconciliation and the other is resilience.
Reconciliation means that you get used to many things that would be enormously stressful for other people when you are often exposed to them. That’s starting with knowing all night that every moment the reporter can pee. How are you supposed to calm down? But actually you get used to this situation. You don’t have a pulse of 200 when the detector blows, even if after three years you still don’t know during the ringing whether there’s an easy way to transport a sick person or a child’s reanimation. You learn and get used to the fact that you don’t know that you have to live with it anyway, no matter what’s on the reporter for a text, you’re expecting not to fall through at night and so on. And indeed, you can get used to the stakes. That there are dead people you see, severe injuries and so on. You can still work and are not paralyzed before horror. You can keep a cool head, see the tasks that need to be done and focus on doing a good job in general.
Nevertheless, it is quite possible that all these things that have been used to leave a mental impression. It doesn’t even have to be the terrible road accident, it can also be the total helplessness of an 80-year-old woman who lost her husband after 60 years of marriage. What exactly takes you, it’s totally different. And then, of course, the question is how to deal with it. And here the resilience comes into play.
Someone who knows from the outset that he takes problematic topics home and blames himself for everything that happens in the job, even if he blunts the views of the job, is not suitable for the rescue service.
“If a reanimation goes wrong and a person dies – I am not guilty of it. I’ve done everything I could to change that and if it doesn’t work, it shouldn’t be that.”
If I can think that way, it can work. But if I always go home with the thought that I would not have done enough and if I had only brought more, then this person would still live then I have lost nothing in the rescue service, because this basic attitude, which often does not change by accusation to certain views, odors or situations. So you need a reasonable resilience to deal with the part of the stressful situations you take home. And you can only learn them very badly, you bring them. But if you will notice relatively early, I think. Even if medical services often don’t happen so much bad, you probably know if you’re always thinking about things that happen there and whether you’re questioning yourself massively. Maybe you have a couple of rescue workers who can ask if they feel fit for it. Often they can appreciate it. And as soon as you can, of course, try an internship, for example in the hospital, where you are constantly faced with a lot of suffering. If you take this home, it won’t be different in the rescue service.
And in order to make it clear, at the beginning, of course, you also take a look home. I remember my first reanimation today. However, at that time it was that it did not burden me in the sense, it was new to me and very impressive and terrible, but I did not blame or doubt anything about anything, except of course a legitimate criticism of the things I did not do right at that time. Do you understand the difference? My first polytrauma as well. Of course, it’s a dramatic sight if for the first time you have a severely injured one there that bleeds out of all buttonholes and where it’s really hard to get him alive that’s bad and terrible. But these looks and pressures, which weigh on one, are the things you get used to. The resilience part comes when it comes to suffering from these views and under pressure. As I said, you shouldn’t be dressed as a personal failure or something like that.
I hope it makes all sense…
>>”When a reanimation goes wrong and a person dies – I am not guilty of it. I have done everything I could to change that and if it doesn’t work, it shouldn’t be like that.”
I think there is also a question of personal thinking/racing. For me, the person is dead first. In the best case (which is also the case again) she lives again. I find that much more pleasant than thinking “She’s still alive and might die.”
Yes, I say yes. It depends on the approach. My is “the patient started.” Yours is “naja, but he was already dead. So I didn’t make it worse, just don’t do better. That’s similar. And all the better than “I would have pressed more or better”
Right, was also more thought to supplement your execution 🙂
Sure. No!
For these also represent the exception for general staff rather than the rule. A reconciliation can only be achieved by regular repetition of events.
But:
You can learn how to deal with this. This, on the one hand, is dealt with in advance with the expected and mentally prepared for it and thus creates a certain resilience.
On the other hand, by preparing the operations accordingly, in discussions with colleagues or, if necessary, crisis intervention forces (which can also be used prophylactically).
Some use will always be in your memory. I think 5_speak wish had explained the last in his video “My worst use” quite well.
It is important that you find ways to deal with it and process it. Everyone has his own approaches. But everyone is mean not to take it home and, like Dorktor Noth, did not blame themselves. You always try to give your best, sometimes it’s not enough. But this is the fate of the patient.
There’s a so-called. Crisis intervention team that is specifically there to help rescue workers after traumatic operations.
Whoever makes dying toddlers who are badly disfigured from a totally destroyed vehicle is already in the extreme “cool out”.
How to deal with it is very individual. I am a station nurse and not a rescue service, but there are always situations that are mentally burdensome, especially when children/young people are affected. It usually helps me to talk to colleagues about this, but I have also used psychological advice in the hospital.
Hello MennchFr,
You never get used to such situations. But you learn to deal with it. Otherwise you can’t practice such a profession.
There is also support for helpers today. You don’t have to make such experiences alone with yourself as before.
Good luck!

Most mentally healthy and resilient people working in the rescue service (or at the fire department / police) find a way to deal with it.
If I read your questions like this, you seem to have the one or the other building site as far as your psyche is concerned.
In such a case, I do not think it is advisable to work in such a profession. It’s a good way to go back.
Greeting, B.
Pampering means blunting. You should never blunt for the suffering of others. Nevertheless, you have to be able to master bad situations because you want to help.
Those who are mentally beaten anyway and thus less stressful would be in the wrong job.
