The prehospital emergency service is the initial part of the Emergency Medical Service System (EMSS) in China, and is the de facto overall emergency medical service for China. As the EMSS in China continues to undergo rapid development, it faces the challenge of providing rapid response times with adequate coverage for this highly populated country. The recent Sichuan earthquake on 12 May 2008 tested the ability of the EMSS response. This article focuses on the prehospital emergency service of the EMSS and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the current system.
院前急救服务是中国紧急医疗服务体系(EMSS)的初始部分,实际上也是中国整体的紧急医疗服务。随着中国的紧急医疗服务体系持续快速发展,它面临着在这个人口高度密集的国家提供快速响应时间并实现充分覆盖的挑战。2008年5月12日发生的四川地震检验了紧急医疗服务体系的响应能力。本文聚焦于紧急医疗服务体系中的院前急救服务,并探讨当前系统的优缺点。
