Summary. The aim of the research is to develop and substantiate a set of measures to ensure the safety of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel in emergency situations, armed conflicts and special military operations, including the use of personal protective equipment and armoured vehicles.
Materials and methods of the study. The research materials are the documented experience of emergency medical services team members working under special operating conditions.
The study employed statistical and empirical methods, as well as modelling. The analytical toolkit included descriptive statistics procedures, verification of the statistical significance of the results, Pearson correlation analysis, and a number of non‑parametric criteria – in particular, the χ2 (chi‑squared) test for comparing independent samples.
Results of the study and their analysis. The comprehensive implementation of individual and collective protection measures, specialised transport, and detailed action algorithms for EMS personnel in armed conflicts and emergency situations has made it possible to: statistically significantly reduce risks to the life and health of medical personnel, maintain the continuity and effectiveness of emergency medical care in high‑risk areas, establish a robust system of medical evacuation support even with an increase in the intensity of attacks.
