Proper pre-hospital care can greatly improve the outcomes in patients with acute life-threatening conditions. For example, in the setting of trauma, some patients survive their injuries but die at the scene or en route to the hospital due to lack of first aid. Others may reach the hospital but will have more complications, including death, or will have an increased length of hospital stay. Good pre-hospital care therefore, will not only save lives and improve patient outcomes, but will also help decongest hospitals. More importantly, those patients in the far flung areas, often do not have easy access to hospitals, so a good knowledge on basic pre-hospital care can help in the initial management of their conditions while their transport is being processed.
