Abstract		Beside some 25000 dispensary medical examinations and 8000 home visits, prehospital emergency doctors of the Ljubljana Medical Centre yearly intervene with the ALS ambulance in some 2500 emergency situations. Resuscitation is necessary in some 150cases. Each intervention in the field has its own particularities which a doctor must detect and consider. Complications are constituent of almost every intervention. Their frequency and arduousness exponentially increase with the number of interventions and the degree of affectedness of patients or victims respectively and are inversely proportioned with the experience of the rescuers. It may therefore be expected that in a bad traffic accident with several injured persons more complications may follow which probably will not be solved in the best way possible. It is essential, however, that they should be reduced to a minimum and that doctors should not fear those complications which can not be avoided. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
