Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1996
This article examines a number of areas in emergency prehospital care that the authors view as important and controversial. It offers a Canadian perspective on international research done in the field of prehospital care, and it is not intended to suggest recommendations for the American prehospital care environment. The discussion is not encyclopedic.

Critical Pathways in Cardiology: A Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, 2006
Reperfusion therapy for ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes aims at early and complete recanalization of the infarct-related artery to salvage myocardium and improve both early and late clinical outcomes. Prehospital diagnosis of ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome can be made by electrocardiography with or without transtelephonic transmission, and ...

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.

Prehospital cricothyroidotomy by physicians
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1997To evaluate cricothyroidotomy in the field and the influence of physicians' medical specialty or previous experience on the success rate of this procedure, a retrospective study was conducted. Between October 1991 and April 1995, 29 cricothyroidotomies were performed in the prehospital setting in Israel.

Accuracy of prehospital sphygmomanometers
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987The first requisite for valid blood pressure determination is a correctly calibrated manometer. A total of 125 aneroid sphygmomanometers in prehospital use were calibrated against a mercury manometer standard. A total of 43 (34.4%) aneroid instruments deviated by more than +/- 4 mm Hg tolerance (average of four readings). A deviation of greater than +/-

Prehospital Hypotension Redefined
Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2008The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma suggests prehospital systolic blood pressure (PSBP) < 90 mm Hg as a criterion for triage of injured patients to trauma centers. However, Advanced Trauma Life Support recognizes this threshold as a late sign of shock.

Prehospital trauma evaluation begins with the primary assessment of airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure. This is closely followed by vital signs and a secondary assessment. Key prehospital interventions include management and resuscitation according to the aforementioned principles with a focus on major hemorrhage control, airway ...
