The role of doctors in prehospital care in the United Kingdom and the USA was compared using information obtained from a visit to the city of Houston emergency medical service (Houston, Texas) and from a review of published reports. The involvement of full time specialist emergency medical services physicians has been crucial to the development of improved standards of practice within American prehospital care. The specialty of accident and emergency medicine should support provision of medical advice to the ambulance services by closer liaison with ambulance service trusts and the formalisation of training in prehospital care to specialist registrars.
通过访问休斯顿市紧急医疗服务机构(德克萨斯州休斯顿)获得的信息以及对已发表报告的回顾,对英国和美国医生在院前护理中的作用进行了比较。全职专科紧急医疗服务医生的参与对于提高美国院前护理实践标准的发展至关重要。急症医学专科应通过与救护服务信托机构更密切的联络以及将院前护理培训正规化,为救护服务提供医疗建议。
