  • Title: Pre-hospital coronary care: review of a system in its fifth year.
    Author: O'Rourke MF, Michaelides J.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1975 May 17; 1(20):615-7. PubMed ID: 1143158.
    Abstract:
    The present "coronary" ambulance service in Sydney is poorly utilized, covers a small fraction of the city's population and operates at a cost which is less than 0-25% of the hospital care of patients admitted with suspected cardiac emergencies. A survey suggests that such a service could with benefit be replaced by a general emergency ambulance service, staffed by well trained paramedical personnel, strategically located throughout the city and responding to all emergency calls.
