Prehospital emergency care.
Prehospital care is a diverse and complex entity. Recent studies have begun to emphasize the importance of all aspects of care in the community, leading through to critical analysis of the process of prehospital care provision. This paper examines the various aspects of prehospital care and discusses the various elements which need to be considered to provide effective care prior to patients being attended to at hospital.
