Patient Transportation Part III: Prehospital Transport and Critical Care
Summary
Providing emergency and critical care outside the hospital has unique challenges. Part I and Part II primarily focused on transporting patients either between facilities or within a facility. Under both circumstances, the patient has already been evaluated by a physician, has undergone diagnostic testing, and care has been initiated. Part III will discuss civilian and military care outside the walls of the hospital and the transportation of patients to definitive care.
