  • Title: Effectiveness of advanced paramedics in a mobile coronary care system.
    Author: Lewis RP, Stang JM, Fulkerson PK, Sampson KL, Scoles A, Warren JV.
    Journal: JAMA; 1979 May 04; 241(18):1902-4. PubMed ID: 430771.
    Abstract:
    The mobilized coronary care system in Columbus, Ohio, began with operation of a single vehicle with a physician in attendance. Currently, advanced emergency medical technician-paramedics work without direct physician supervision. When both experiences are compared, the results indicate that advanced emergency medical technician-paramedics working independently perform as well as physician counterparts.
