Mantua, the center of the 118 moved by Poma in Pavia – Gazzetta di Mantova

  MANTUA. Twenty years and two million calls, with one ring every three minutes. Nearly 600 thousand rescue operations, with an average of 30 thousand a year. From next Tuesday, April 14, at 14, the operations center of the 118 Mantua moves to Pavia under the new Regional Organisation of health services outside the hospital. A moment of attention: Only Move the telephone and not the service. For users, therefore, will not change almost nothing: manning the ambulances and ambulances will continue to circulate normally in the province, with more staff and more resources. The transfer of the “technological heart” of 118 Mantua was decided by the Region with a resolution in 2011, providing for gradually erasing of the 12 operations centers in Lombardy that will be published in the four regional operations centers: Milan, Pavia, Como and Bergamo.

 

 One that affects the territory of the province of Mantua is to Pavia, where they will be diverted calls even from Pavia, Cremona and Lodi.

 

 The central 118 Mantua is a piece of history of the provincial medical aid, which over the years has expanded to the regional level going to offer service coverage to every corner of Mantua. A huge amount of work. As just one example, are on average eighty interventions manning the ambulances and ambulances every day coordinated by the middle of the 118. But by next Tuesday will work as the new operations room of Pavia? Who needs an intervention of the 118 will continue to form the old number. Distress calls, however, will no longer be collected by the operations center of the road Leaky Lake. In the first instance will respond 112 of Brescia (which will soon become the number one European). Since the call of nature will be diverted on the health center of Pavia.

 

 At this point the question is: who responds by Pavia will be able to instantly recognize the place of the call and decipher the exact coordinates of the caller? From 118 Mantua ensure yes, since the operators of Pavia will see in real time, thanks to a sophisticated system of identification, the place from which the call originated. Then call the crews Mantua ready to go into action.

 

 The 8 operators Mantua that next Tuesday will leave the central valance will be used in emergency vehicles and administrative procedures. In addition, with the new organization from mid May Mantova will gain two new emergency vehicles intermediate (with nurse specialist) to Cocoon and Volta Mantovana.

 

 The operations center 118 of Mantua was brought into operation on December 21, 1994 and will cease to exist April 14, 2015 at 14. With an average of 100 thousand calls a year, totaled more than 2 million requests. In 2014 the calls were about 80 thousand, for a total of 28,500 primary missions for relief. The rest of the calls concerned the request of 28 thousand and 26 thousand guards medical advice. The means of intervention in 16 thousand 118 were rescued by episodes of a medical nature, 1,900 accidents and 4,500 injuries and falls. The severity? In 19% of cases had a code red, yellow in 55% and 26% green. The timing? The first means for code red and yellow has reached the destination within 18 minutes in 90% of cases, in 11 minutes in the middle of the rescue. The means available to the 118 Mantua are 21. They will become 23 by mid-May.
