Background. The aim of the present study was to determine the medication appropriateness (MA) in prehospital emergency physician deployments according to the hospital discharge diagnosis and to investigate the factors influencing the MA. Methods. The MA was determined by a systematic comparison of the administered medication in prehospital emergency physician deployments with the discharge diagnosis in a period of 24 months at the emergency medical services in Bad Belzig.

Abstract:

Prehospital point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a requirement for the treatment of critically ill patients. It is an essential component for physicians not only in hospital settings but also in prehospital settings. Recent technical progress has helped POCUS to be integrated into various prehospital emergency settings (Hermann et al. 2022). Prehospital care refers to the emergency medical care setting at any scene of a catastrophe. Evaluation of the situation and the medical resources needed will be determined by the emergency medical services (EMS) (Tjelmeland et al. 2020). There has been a g

Background: The system to ensure the quality of care when doctors entrust prehospital care to qualified non-doctors is called Medical Control (MC) in Japan.

AbstractIn the United States, farming has become one of the most dangerous occupations. There are unique challenges for the providers of prehospital care to victims of agricultural trauma. The machinery and the work environment associated with agricultural trauma are different from those encountered in other occupations. The unique features of the machinery and risks are discussed. In addition, solutions unique to the problems of agricultural prehospital care are discussed. Effective care of the victims of agricultural trauma has a potential to reduce morbidity.

Prehospital care experienced a “honeymoon” from the early 1970s until recently. Treatments usually were extrapolated directly from the hospital setting, even though the prehospital environment is markedly different. That honeymoon is over and emergency medical services (EMS) providers must prove what is beneficial. Additionally, academic prehospital care physicians interested in professional advancement, must show the same ability as do the more traditional medical academicians to expand the knowledge base of their chosen field.This manuscript will highlight the basic features and identify the

Abstract:

The urban prehospital setting is one of the best venues in which to examine life-saving resuscitation interventions. When the entire catchment of the urban emergency medical services (EMS) system is used, large-population patient studies can be generated. Certain unique features give several urban centers the ability to conduct clinical trials in the out-of-hospital setting. Without resuscitation at the scene, it is rare for cardiac arrest patients to survive. In the case of trauma resuscitation, prehospital care can impact outcome significantly.
