Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1993
To improve patient outcome and reduce time at the scene, treatment protocols for specific injuries and rapid transport should be established with individual systems. These standards should be based on such parameters as history, mechanism of injury, physiologic status of the patient on arrival, triage criteria, and predicted transport times.
