A prospective study conducted in the Greater Vancouver area compared survival rates in prehospital cardiac arrest managed by an advanced life support (paramedic) service with those in cardiac arrest managed by conventional ambulance service. Management by the paramedic service was associated with higher survival rates for patients found in cardiac arrest but not for patients who suffered the arrest while the ambulance was present. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders was associated with a significant increase in survival rates when combined with paramedic services but not when only basic life support services were available.
在大温哥华地区进行的一项前瞻性研究比较了由高级生命支持(护理人员)服务管理的院外心脏骤停患者的生存率与由传统救护车服务管理的心脏骤停患者的生存率。护理人员服务管理与心脏骤停时被发现的患者较高的生存率相关,但与救护车在场时发生心脏骤停的患者无关。旁观者进行心肺复苏与护理人员服务联合使用时生存率显著提高相关,但仅提供基本生命支持服务时则不然。
