    AbstractThis case report describes the prehospital care of a person after an occupational accident. The amputation of whole extremities is rare and needs a standardized procedure: at first lifesaving procedures are necessary before saving the limb. The work at a conveyor belt resulted in taking of an arm. On the basis of this case report the prehospital management is discussed focalizing the complete treatment of the patient and his amputated extremity as well as the transport from the scene of accident to a suitable hospital.
