Abstract
The past decade has witnessed the development of mobile prehospital emergency systems thoughout the world. The rapid establishment of these services in all progressive countries is based on the recognition that lives can be saved by advanced prehospital care. Indeed this fact has been objectively demonstrated by increasing survival rates in victims of out — of hospital cardiac arrest for example. While it is more difficult to prove the effects of this care for other acute emergencies, it is apparent that many other patients benefit from such early advanced care.
