144 ist die Notrufzentrale des Rettungsdienstes. Lautsprecher einschalten, Telefon neben die Person legen und nicht auflegen: die Zentrale sagt dir, was zu tun ist.
Sag zuerst WO: Strasse, Hausnummer, Stockwerk. In Bern zählt jede Minute bis zum Rettungswagen.
Ist ein Defibrillator (AED) in der Nähe? Jemanden holen schicken. Einschalten und den Ansagen folgen, weiterdrücken bis er sagt: Stopp. Beim Schock berührt niemand die Person, danach sofort weiterdrücken.
Alle Nummern sind kostenlos, auch ohne Guthaben und aus jedem Netz. Nummer antippen und markieren, um sie zu kopieren.
First aid in Bern: emergency numbers and CPR
Emergency help for Bern: a CPR metronome 30:2, Swiss emergency numbers and first-aid steps in four languages. No app, no tracking.
Bärn hilft is a first-aid page for Bern, made for the moment when someone collapses and the phone is already in your hand. At the top is the emergency number 144, with the advice to say first where you are: street, house number, floor. Switch on the loudspeaker, put the phone next to the person and do not hang up: the control centre tells you what to do.
At its heart is the CPR metronome. After “Start: push to the beat” the page sets a rate of 110 beats per minute, either in “30 compressions : 2 breaths” mode or “Compressions only”. It shows the time and the number of compressions and reminds you after two minutes to swap. Four steps explain what to do: speak to the person, call 144, check breathing, press.
Short guides cover other emergencies: unconscious but breathing normally (recovery position), choking, stroke, heart attack and severe bleeding. The Swiss emergency numbers are listed too, for example 117 police, 118 fire brigade, 145 Tox Info Suisse and 1414 Rega. Under “Nearby” the page lists defibrillators, drinking water and public toilets, sorted by your location or from the Zytglogge. This data comes from OpenStreetMap.
The content follows the 2025 resuscitation guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the 2025 course guidelines of the Swiss Resuscitation Council (SRC). The page is available in German, French, Italian and English. Your entries are neither sent nor stored. The page does not replace a course or an emergency call.
