Furthermore, it is prepared to cope with mass casualties of injured. As a public task the Trauma System in Germany is well organized and follows clear cut demands. To perform technical and medical therapy at highest available level as soon as possible, a ground system of physician staffed ambulances is supported by a network of physician-staffed HEMS all over Germany. Therefore, enormous efforts in financing, basic research and quality management have been undertaken during recent years to create such a sophisticated rescue system.
