Prehospital care providers are tasked with the delivery of time-sensitive care, and emergency medical services (EMS) systems must match patients to appropriate clinical resources. Modern systems are uniquely positioned to recognize and treat patients with sepsis. Interventions such as administration of intravenous fluid and transporting patients to the

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1984
The past two decades have been a period of increased concern over the improvement of prehospital emergency medical care. Training of basic and advanced EMTs to a level of professionalism that includes a distinct body of knowledge and the use of assessment and management skills is only one component of the prehospital system.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2000
Concepts regarding uniform reporting of data after trauma and regarding treatment of brain trauma patients at the scene have recently been agreed upon in consensus processes. Endotracheal intubation and alternatives are as controversially discussed as fluid resuscitation and helicopter transport of trauma victims.

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.

Surgical Clinics of North America
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 ...

Prehospital patients refusing care
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1988In summary, many of the complex medicolegal and ethical issues surrounding the prehospital patient who refuses all or part of the care offered by the EMS system have been reviewed. The best outcome can be achieved using a sliding scale of capacity and a conservative approach to treatment rather than releasing the patient at the scene.

Inadequacy of prehospital emergency care
Critical Care Medicine, 1973A 1972 survey to evaluate the prehospital emergency care in the City of Pittsburgh revealed that only 38% of the urgent and critically ill patients were adeguately managed enroute to the hospital. Similar levels of Performance of prehospital emergency care probably exist in most urban, suburban and rural areas of the country.

Controversies in Prehospital Care
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1990Many controversies exist in prehospital care. The most visible from a physiologic point of view are what is done in the field, how thorough medical accountability should be, and what amount of education is required for EMTs to perform their jobs correctly. The bottom line is good patient care. Such care cannot be achieved without the proper ingredients.
