Outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Detroit
TL;DR: In this urban setting, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is an almost uniformly fatal event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teleconsultation in pre-hospital emergency medical services: real-time telemedical support in a prospective controlled simulation study.
Max Skorning,Sebastian Bergrath,Daniel Rörtgen,Stefan K. Beckers,Jörg C. Brokmann,Benjamin Gillmann,Joran Herding,Michael Protogerakis,Christina Fitzner,Rolf Rossaint +9 more
TL;DR: In simulated setting TMA was able to improve treatment and safety without decline in timing and further research is necessary to optimize the system for medical, organizational and technical reasons prior to the evaluation of this system in routine EMS.

Emergency medical services key performance measurement in Asian cities.
Nik Hisamuddin Nik Ab Rahman,Hideharu Tanaka,Sang Do Shin,Yih Yng Ng,Thammapad Piyasuwankul,Chih Hao Lin,Marcus Eng Hock Ong +6 more
TL;DR: An attempt was made to compare the EMS performance index based on the structure, process, and outcome analysis of the Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcome Study data among few Asian cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is paper-based documentation in an emergency medical service adequate for retrospective scientific analysis? An evaluation of a physician-run service
Sebastian Bergrath,Max Skorning,Daniel Rörtgen,Stefan K. Beckers,J.C. Brokmann,Christina Mutscher,Rolf Rossaint +6 more
TL;DR: Documentation of vital parameters is carried out incompletely, and documentation of respiratory rate is particularly poor, making calculation of accepted emergency scores infeasible for a significant fraction of a given test population and the suitability of paper-based documentation is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
New and Fringe Residential Development and Emergency Medical Services Response Times in the United States
Thomas E. Lambert,Peter B. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the differences in average emergency medical service response times between urban and suburban or ex-urban locations and found that those who live in more sparsely settled and newer developments tend to have longer waiting times for EMS.

Journal ArticleDOI
Response time effectiveness: comparison of response time and survival in an urban emergency medical services system.
TL;DR: In this observational study, emergency calls whereRTs were less than 5 minutes were associated with improved survival when compared with calls where RTs exceeded 5 minutes, and there was little evidence in these data to suggest that changing this system's response time specifications to times less than current, but greater than 5 Minutes would have any beneficial effect on survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eight minutes or less: does the ambulance response time guideline impact trauma patient outcome?
TL;DR: Exceeding the ambulance industry response time criterion of 8 min does not affect patient survival after traumatic injury and there was also no significant difference in survival when patients were stratified by injury severity score group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Procedural experience with out-of-hospital endotracheal intubation.
Henry E. Wang,Douglas F. Kupas,David Hostler,Robert N. Cooney,Donald M. Yealy,Judith R. Lave +5 more
TL;DR: Out-of-hospital ETI, an important and difficult resuscitation intervention, is an uncommon event for most rescuers, and the relationship with practice setting is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The utstein style for uniforma reporting of data from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
TL;DR: The Utstein style for uniforma reporting of data from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was developed to solve a major problem in resuscitation research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physician medical direction in ems
TL;DR: Modern EMS systems are designed to bring sophisticated emergency medical care to the patient's side, but guidelines for a medical director's qualifications, responsibilities, and authority continue to be refined.
