  • Title: The paramedic ambulance: a Canadian experience.
    Author: Vertesi L.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1978 Jul 08; 119(1):25-9. PubMed ID: 679096.
    Abstract:
    Prehospital critical care provided by specially trained ambulance attendants in New Westminster, BC during a 27-month period was studied. Although the most important benefit of the improved care was the prevention of sudden death in a large proportion of persons with crises due to coronary artery disease, the skills learned to provide basic life support are applicable to a wide variety of other disorders that can result in death before the patient reaches hospital.
