Prospective evaluation of an emergency medical services-administered alternative transport protocol.
BACKGROUND The ability of emergency medical services (EMS) providers to offer an alternative means of nonemergent transport for patients with minor medical complaints is a rarely sanctioned concept in U.S. EMS systems. OBJECTIVE To prospectively determine if paramedics using transport guidelines can identify patients with minor medical problems who can be safely transported by a nonmedical al...
OBJECTIVES To identify interventions by paramedics in out-of-hospital deliveries and predictors of neonatal outcome. METHODS A prospective case series of consecutive out-of-hospital deliveries at Yale-New Haven Hospital from January 1991 to January 1994. Data describing out-of-hospital interventions, demographics, maternal risk factors, and neonatal outcomes were collected from out-of-hospita...

An audit of patients that suddenly deteriorated in paramedic care was recommended by the Ministerial Review. The objective of the study was t...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The practicalities of doing ambulance-based trials where paramedics perform all aspects of a clinical trial involving patients with ultra-acute stroke have not been assessed. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial with screening, consent, randomization, and treatment performed by paramedics prior to hospitalization. Patients with probable ultra-acute stroke ...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether paramedic rapid sequence intubation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) improves neurologic outcomes at 6 months compared with intubation in the hospital. BACKGROUND Severe TBI is associated with a high rate of mortality and long-term morbidity. Comatose patients with TBI routinely undergo endo-tracheal intubation to protect the airway, prevent ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) is recommended for emergency medical services use in identifying patients with stroke. Data evaluating its performance in the field are limited. We assessed the impact of training and use of the CPSS on the accuracy of paramedics' stroke patient identification and on-scene time. METHODS A 1-hour interactive educational pres...
