Prehospital Care a Continuum of Evolution and Delivery: Need for Design of a Structure
摘要
Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research and clinical experience broadens our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy are required. This is further compounded by ethical challenges that constitute an inseparable part of the daily decision-making processes in all areas of healthcare, particularly so in the field of prehospital emergency medicine. The prehospital care system in LMICs is fragmented and uncoordinated, lacking trained medical personnel and first responders, inadequate basic materials, and substandard infrastructure.The field of prehospital care presents several challenges to clinical research, including limited resources, ethical considerations, time constraints, safety concerns, and data collection and analysis. Fortunately, there are also several opportunities and perspectives for improving clinical research in this field, including the use of telemedicine and remote monitoring, simulation-based training, standardized protocols and guidelines, and collaborations between EMS providers, hospitals, and academic institutions.
