What is Essential Role of Prehospital Care in the Optimal Outcome from Major Trauma about?
## Abstract Prehospital care for major trauma victims is a balance of timely delivery to definitive care and appropriate intervention to maximize probability of survival. In the development of advanced, organized prehospital care systems, the evidence for the benefit of individual interventions has been limited and contradictory. Leading controversies reviewed are: the place of advanced life support, the role of doctors compared with paramedics, the optimal advanced airway adjunct, the role of intravenous fluids in serious injury, and the value of prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation following traumatic cardiac arrest. International differences in trauma epidemiology are discussed. The identification of prehospital care as the weak link within a trauma system is highlighted.
