| | Appraisal Consultation Document Pre-hospital initiation of fluid replacement therapy in trauma |
| | Ambulance crews are usually the first healthcare professionals to attend an accident scene, where they assess the general physiological state of the patient to determine both what pre-hospital interventions are needed and the necessary speed of transfer to hospital, depending on injury severity. | | | The Committee considered the issue of training for those administering pre-hospital IV fluid therapy, and concluded that only paramedics or other healthcare professionals with appropriate training in ALS techniques and pre-hospital care should administer IV fluid therapy to trauma patients in the pre-hospital setting. | | | This was the most methodologically sound of all of the studies, with appropriate randomisation and protocol compliance, although the study population was not representative of the majority of trauma patients in the UK, who have blunt injuries. |

| | The Pre-hospital Trauma Course is an intensive programme aimed at providing candidates with the skills and knowledge to recognise the seriously injured patient and to provide appropriate interventions to manage the patient in the pre hospital environment, within their scope of professional practice. | | | The course team, through a flexible and interactive approach to teaching and learning, strives to enable candidates to draw upon their previous experience and training in developing their ability to provide high quality care for the seriously injured individual during the pre hospital phase of care and within their scope of professional practice. | | | The diversity of backgrounds of both faculty and the student body is valued in the contribution it makes to the richness of the learning experience.Teaching will draw upon the evidence based, nationally agreed guidelines and expert consensus opinion where such evidence exists. |

| | HEART ATTACKS - Pre Hospital Emergency Care. |
| | The advent of the AED operated by people trained in its use e.g ambulance personnel, police, airport staff, airline cabin crew, voluntary service people etc., greatly improved the survival rate of heart attack victims in the pre-hospital care phase of an emergency. | | | Equally, the AED is particularly useful in rural areas where people live quite a distance from a hospital and where ambulance response times may be proportionally lengthened. | | | The modern AED is so sophisticated that it literally can assess its own suitability for use in any given heart attack condition. |

| | Study Shows Pre-Hospital Administration Of Retavase (Reteplase) Can Accelerate Important Treatment Of Heart-Attack Patients |
| | The primary endpoint is time saved with pre-hospital initiation of Retavase in fibrinolytic-eligible patients with ST elevation on a 12-lead ECG, transmitted to hospital-based medical control physicians. | | | The rapid pre-hospital administration of Retavase worked to stabilize heart attack patients, with 26% already showing a greater than 50% resolution of their elevated ST segments, an electrocardiogram indicator of heart health, by the time they arrived at the emergency room. | | | The study found that for patients receiving pre-hospital treatment with Retavase, the median time from EMS arrival to the first Retavase bolus was 31 minutes, compared with 63 minutes for those given Retavase at the hospital. |
