What does the day look like?

A feldsher works in mobile emergency response teams (103 ambulance service) or primary rural clinics. Direct emergency care and resuscitation take up 25 to 35 percent of a shift. This includes operating portable ECG monitors (such as Schiller or Cardiofax), defibrillating, securing intravenous or intraosseous access, administering emergency drugs, managing airways with supraglottic devices like i-gel, and dressing wounds or immobilizing fractures.

The remaining 65 to 75 percent of the time consists of transit, equipment restocking, and vehicle maintenance (25 to 30 percent), alongside filling out mandatory dispatch logs and electronic health records like Damumed or EMIS (30 to 40 percent). Ambulance shifts typically run as 24-hour rotations followed by 72 hours off, or alternating 12-hour day and night shifts, while rural health posts operate on 8-hour daytime shifts with on-call emergency duties.
