The data comes from medical documentation. Interventions caused by a health risk in a patient in the 90+ age group were qualified as events. 897 EMT interventions were qualified (2020\u2013327, 2021\u2013269, 2022\u2013301) constituting 4.29% of all interventions carried out in the operational area. In addition, a quantitative analysis of a comparative group of patients aged 80\u201389 was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was shown that the time of rescue activities was the longest for injuries and the shortest for mental disorders (60\u2009\u00b1\u200931 vs. 43\u2009\u00b1\u200921\u2009min). It was shown that specialist EMT teams (S) were statistically significantly more often called for cardiology disorders (63%). It was shown that pharmacological agents were used statistically significantly more often in respiratory disorders (83%) compared to neurology disorders (47%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). It was also shown that patients whose call was caused by neurology disorders were statistically more often transported to the emergency department (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200976, 76%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The causes of calls regarding disorders of the circulatory and respiratory systems most often require the implementation of pharmacology during EMT interventions, mainly short-term and symptomatic drugs. Interventions to rural areas dominate in the presented analysis in each year of the analysis and in each group of reasons for calls, which may be associated with more difficult access to a primary care physician. Most EMT interventions concern exacerbation of chronic diseases. Transport to the hospital was necessary mainly due to neurological and traumatic calls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1270486","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]],"date-time":"2023-12-20T08:12:38Z","timestamp":1703059958000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Geriatric patient in the practice of emergency medical teams \u2013 observation in 2020\u20132022"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Czy\u017cewski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Dudzi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janusz","family":"Wyzga\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"272","DOI":"10.53139\/AIR.20211529","article-title":"Evolution of the paramedic profession in legal acts in Poland","volume":"15","author":"Brzozowska-Ma\u0144kowska","year":"2021","journal-title":"Anestezjologia i Ratownictwo"},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":""},{"key":"ref3","year":""},{"key":"ref4","unstructured":"2020"},{"key":"ref5","unstructured":""},{"key":"ref6","unstructured":""},{"key":"ref7","unstructured":""},{"key":"ref8","volume-title":"Raport Narodowego Instytutu Zdrowia Publicznego: Sytuacja zdrowotna ludno\u015bci Polski i jej uwarunkowania","author":"Wojtyniak","year":"2018"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.33119\/SD.2019.1.1","article-title":"Zmiana liczby zgon\u00f3w i trwania \u017cycia w latach 2016\u20132018.
