title: [Conclusions of the first-aid treatment of emergency patients from a prospective study of 106 lethal outcomes (author's transl)].
abstract: To obtain an objective judgement on the efficiency of emergency help, 106 emergency patients who died during a six month period were subjected to an examination in which all aspects of their treatment, beginning at the scene of the emergency and lasting until their death were documented. It could be shown that 8.5% of the examined patients would have had a chance for survival if proper and optimal treatment had been given, despite the effects of their injuries. Only by improving knowledge of first-aid procedures can an increase in the efficiency of emergency measures be attained as will be proven in this paper. Intensive schooling is necessary not only for the layman and ambulance orderlies but for doctors who are to be employed in rescue work in particular. The present criteria (one-year clinical activity and competency are by no means sufficient as a foundation.
