The analysis included a total of 1624 interventions of METs. Results. Specialist METs more often provided aid on scene followed by transportation to hospital in compare to basic ones- worked mostly in a “scoop and run” model. Alarm mode interventions more often required treatment on-site followed by transportation to hospital compared with urgent and normal ones. Physicians more frequently provided rescue activities on-site and then transported patients to hospital in compare to emergency nurses and paramedics. Nurses definitely less frequently decided to do procedures solely on-scene comparing with paramedics and physicians. In rural areas patients more frequently were given aid solely on-scene than in the city Injured or intoxicated patients, unlike those suffering from a certain disease, were less frequently provided on-scene treatment, as they were mostly transported to a hospital. Conclusions. There are various factor affecting EMS’ way s of handling with the patient: a kind of MET, response mode, profession of a team leader, location of an event and reason for calls.
