Unreferenced date December 2009 A technical decision is a term used in boxing when a fight has to be stopped because of a headbutt. In boxing fights, referees have to pay deep attention to the action going on between the fighters, especially when the two combatants are fighting close to each other. This is because, in the case of a cut, the referee must decide whether the cut was caused by a punch or by a head collision. Only the referee can make that decision. Most head collisions in boxing are probably unintentional, especially when both boxers are trying for a knockout , many times getting involved in close range fights. If a boxer intentionally butts an opponent s head, this is considered a flagrant foul that could result in disqualification of the offender. In the case of a cut to the head, it is the referee s responsibility of taking the injured boxer to a Medicine medical doctor seated at ringside as many times as the referee thinks necessary, regardless of the referee s decision of the cut being provoked by a punch or not.

National Fire Protection Association NFPA regulation 1006 and 1670 state that all rescuers must have medical training to perform any technical rescue operation, including cutting the vehicle itself during an extrication . Therefore, in most all rescue environments, whether it is an Emergency medical services EMS department or fire station fire department that runs the rescue, the actual rescuers who cut the vehicle and run the extrication scene or perform any rescue such as rope, low angle, etc., are Certified first responder medical first responder s, emergency medical technician s, or paramedic s, as almost every rescue has a patient involved.
