In many low-income countries, trained health workers and police played a negligible role in the provision of first aid and on-scene treatment of road traffic injuries (RTI) [27].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Shiraz EMS response times and outcome (i.e., during on-scene treatment and transportation to the hospital; hospital mortality is not included) of patients in two groups, attended by permanently (PS) and temporarily (TS) stationed ambulances ("fluid deployment").
We were able to demonstrate an extended on-scene treatment in HEMS patients as a potential survival benefit.
The aforementioned authors [ 29, 33] argued that the prolonged pre-hospital time might be caused by additional on-scene treatment.
Considerable procedures of on-scene treatment were documented in order to determine potential differences of management skills between HEMS and GEMS.
However, the outcome benefit dependent on the transportation mode seems to be influenced by several aspects, such as on-scene treatment, on-scene time and triage aspects that have to be discussed subsequently [ 8, 13, 28, 29].
He has highlighted that sixty-three per cent of all New South Wales shark "attacks" between 1937 and 2008 occurred at meshed ocean beaches, which suggests that the nets don't stop sharks from biting but, rather, that the bites often are no longer fatal, thanks to better on-scene medical treatment and the availability of antibiotics.
Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is a life-threatening emergency that requires on-scene antiepileptic treatment adjusted according to the treatment response [1].
VICE News featured some of Mukpo's harrowing work from the ground in Liberia, with a recent report describing the scenes at treatment centers in Monrovia where sick individuals were being turned away from receiving care.
The scenes of panic from August and September may have largely subsided, and the crowded streets of Monrovia are a stark contrast to the constant sounds of ambulance sirens and the scenes of treatment centers overrun with Ebola patients that became the norm this past summer.
The 24-year-old man who was shot received treatment at the scene by officers and paramedics and was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead at 2.50pm.
