  • Title: Emergency medicine in Southern Brazil.
    Author: Tannebaum RD, Arnold JL, De Negri Filho A, Spadoni VS.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 2001 Feb; 37(2):223-8. PubMed ID: 11174243.
    Abstract:
    Emergency medicine is developing rapidly in southern Brazil, where elements of both the Franco-German and the Anglo-American models of emergency care are in place, creating a uniquely Brazilian approach to emergency care. Although emergency medical services (EMS) in Brazil have been directly influenced by the French mobile EMS (SAMU) system, with physicians dispatched by ambulances to the scenes of medical emergencies, the first American-style emergency medicine residency training program in Brazil was recently established at the Hospital de Pronto Socorro (HPS) in Porto Alegre. Emergency trauma care appears to be particularly developed in southern Brazil, where advanced trauma life support is widely taught and SAMU delivers sophisticated trauma care en route to trauma centers designated by the state.
