The aim of the study was to compare the success rates of the IO proximal tibia and proximal humerus head access performed by paramedics using the New Intraosseous access device (NIO; Persys Medical, Houston, TX, USA) in an adult cadaver model during simulated CPR.

The study evaluates treatment delays and outcome in a large cohort of ambulance-transported real-life patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) according to PHT delivered by paramedics or in-hospital thrombolysis.

An emergency medical condition is defined as "a medical condition manifesting to itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in -- (i) placing the health of the individual in serious jeopardy, (ii) serious impairment to bodily functions, or (iii) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part." Kauffman v. Franz, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 88749 (E.D. Pa. Sept. 24, 2009)

The history of the ambulance begins in ancient times, with the use of carts to transport patients. Ambulances were first used for emergency transport in 1487 by the Spanish forces during the siege of Málaga by the Catholic monarchs against the Emirate of Granada, and civilian variants were put into operation in the 1830s Advances in technology throughout the 19th and 20th centuries led to the modern self-powered ambulances.

Ambulances are used to respond to medical emergencies by emergency medical services. For this purpose, they are generally equipped with flashing warning lights and sirens. They can rapidly transport paramedics and other first responders to the scene, carry equipment for administering emergency care and transport patients to hospital or other definitive care. Most ambulances use a design based on vans or pick-up trucks. Others take the form of motorcycles, cars, buses, aircraft and boats.

A Memory of Solferino (French: Un souvenir de Solférino) is a book of the Swiss humanitarian Henry Dunant published in 1862. It proved decisive in the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Un souvenir de Solferino" (Bir Solferine Hatırası) adlı kitabında Kuzey İtalya'daki Solferino Muharebesi'nde gördüğü sefaleti, kıyımı ve yaralıların içler acısı halini anlatır. Muharebenin acılarını yaşadıktan sonra hemen harekete geçerek, 1864 Cenevre Konvansiyonu ile Kızılhaç Teşkilatı'nın kurulmasına önayak olmuştur. Gösterdiği çabalar nedeniyle 1901 yılında Nobel Barış Ödülü'ne layık görülmüştür.

It is appropriate that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) be distinctively identified for the benefit of not only EMS providers but also their patients and the general public. Recognizing the need for a symbol that would represent this critical public service and be easily recognized by all, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created the "Star of Life" and holds priority rights to the use of this registered certification mark.
