  • Title: [Evaluating the efficacy of lay first aid classes. An analysis of 222 ambulance interventions in Vienna].
    Author: Röggla G, Röggla M, Frass M.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1991; 18(3):78-9. PubMed ID: 1950384.
    Abstract:
    In spite of the well known necessity of correct first aid, only a small part of all emergency patients in Vienna receive proper first aid support by lay people. Analysis of 222 cases of the Vienna emergency ambulance service shows, that patients receive correct first aid far more often after an accident that in an internal emergency. Only few patients receive psychical support in a medical emergency. The necessity of a change in the first aid course contents is discussed in this article.
