As this review points out, these studies frequently used a flawed base on which to build their research, and often report a cause-and-effect rela- tionship between ALS and patient outcome without complete information.

Prehospital trauma care is an important aspect in the development of a trauma system; therefore it is impor- tant that care be taken to develop methodologically sound research that will provide definitive answers to this ongoing debate. Mortality rates editorials Table 1. When the studies with actual data are were also significantly different: The authors concluded that allow- becomes clear that the conclusions generally do not logi- ing ALS procedures in the prehospital environment results cally follow from the data presented.

The show that ALS units were sent to more severely injured conclusion of this study was that prompt transport to a patients.

So, the higher mortality is expected! Another hospital, without attempts at field resuscitation, provides unsupported conclusion was that the longer OSIs associ- a better chance for survival among patients with penetrat- ated with ALS were caused by the ALS care. There are a ing heart wounds.

The groups patient access issues, extrication, and time required for were unmatched in many respects. Not all patients arrived at the hospital by relevant.

Two patients in group 1 were actually trans- In a study comparing 2 groups of trauma patients requir- ported by private vehicle. Their conclusion was that, patients in group 2 were in cardiac arrest before arrival at in an urban environment, optimal prehospital management the hospital.

None of the group 1 patients had cardiac of patients in extremis with penetrating thoracic injuries arrest in the out-of-hospital environment. Therefore group 2 should include immediate transportation without attempted included patients that were, in essence, dead on arrival, field stabilization. Their data show that, on average, the patients rospective. Actual times to definitive surgical care were who received prehospital stabilization were more severely not known. The difference in mortality between the groups injured and more of them arrived at the ED without signs of could be attributable to a delay in surgical care after life.

The authors concluded that this was caused by attempts arrival in the ED, so the use of arrival at the ED as syn- at stabilization. In addition, firm this conclusion. As with other studies, the method of there was no trauma system in place at the time of this transport was not the same for all patients. All ALS patients study. A likely bias is that treated by prehospital personnel before adoption of a pol- the patients in this group were actually injured close to the icy that required patients with penetrating trauma be trauma center and thrown in the back of the vehicle rather transported immediately to the trauma center.

Group 2 than wait for EMS. Prehospital data were lacking on most was comprised of 10 patients transported after adoption of the patients in group 2 since the majority were not of the policy. This study was also retrospective. The In an attempt to evaluate prehospital ALS in trauma survival rate for group 1 was 3. Eleven percent of patients in group vascular system.

First, there are numerous technical limitations. This shift can account for prolonged Some experts believe that a significant number of trauma compensation in otherwise healthy patients. Second, the patients deteriorate or die en route to the hospital from authors fail to acknowledge the ability to infuse large vol- physiologic abnormalities that could potentially be improved umes of fluid through large-bore intravenous lines under by prehospital ALS. They believe that, by adding prehospital pressure.

The patients in the study endotracheal intubation and intravenous line placement were not randomly assigned to groups. The determination was positively associated with improved survival. Table 2.

Another limitation is that the failed to account for the implementation of a trauma system, overall mortality for the trauma patients was similar between which could explain the differences in the survival rates.
