| Abstract |
"Prehospital care is the term given to the provision of medical care outside of the hospital or alternative fixed healthcare setting. In the developed world, the provision of prehospital care is usually the responsibility of a regional ambulance or emergency medical service(EMS). A number of agencies may operate in support of the ambulance service including air ambulance charities, private ambulance companies, rescue organizations (e.g. mountain rescue, coastguard), the voluntary aid societies (e.g. St Johns or Red Cross) and volunteer immediate care practitioners (e.g. British Association of Immediate Medical Care, BASICS). Medical cover of sporting and mass gathering events, extreme and wilderness medicine, disaster and humanitarian medicine, and transfer and retrieval medicine all involve the provision of prehospital medical care"-- Provided by publisher. |
