Providing pre-hospital care by trained EMS personnel can greatly improve outcomes of emergency cases. This can be achieved by providing timely care which greatly alters the course of the disease progression. Without providing treatment as early as within the first hour, patients with good survival probabilities may eventually worsen, leading to their demise. Especially in trauma cases, when first aid is not given, these patients may succumb to airway compromise, respiratory failure, or uncontrolled hemorrhage, either on site or en route to the hospital. This can also be said for cases such as acute myocardial infarction wherein ECG monitoring and administration of initial drugs, such as aspirin and heparin, within the first 90 minutes, can improve in-hospital stay and consequently, patient outcome. Overall, mortalities can be reduced with proper and timely pre-hospital care, which is especially true in geographically isolated areas. If interventions can be done as early as possible, then it could provide the patient adequate time for transport to the nearest facility where s/he could receive the proper management, without risking deterioration of the patient along the way.
