Every November, Germany hosts the Medica in Düsseldorf. Due to corona, there was no Medica in 2020 and last year there was a stripped-down version, but this year the fair was alive and kicking again.  More than 5,500 exhibitors and 123,000 visitors from 130 different countries were able to meet at the world's largest medical fair. Very impressive! 

Performing CPR on a child is one of the most dramatic events you can experience as an ambulance professional. In the 10 years that I have worked as an ambulance nurse, I have unfortunately experienced it once. A child of only 7 months old did not react anymore to its parents' calls and had to be resuscitated.
