Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Pre-hospital care is very important in the emergency medical conditions and it can lead to improved patient outcomes. This pre-hospital care is usually offered to the patient on the site of incident and during transfer to the ambulance and the initial treatment entirely depends on the illness or injury of the patient. These services can either be provided by paramedical staff or any other health professional having adequate knowledge and experience in the field. The aim of the prospective study was to evaluate the effect of Emergency Medical Services in improving patient’s quality of life in Pakistani scenario. We observed 30 patients by attending emergencies with Rescue 1122 from 24th June to 6th July 2010.About 50% of the cases were Medical Emergencies and about 33% were Road Traffic Accidents. In 60% cases the response time was less than 10 minutes and shifting time is about 10-15 minutes in 48% of the emergencies. It can be concluded that by improving the standard of equipments and emergency services in the ambulance, we can improve the chances of survival of a patient and improve his quality of life by reducing the severity of symptoms
