Abstract

The real Emergency Medical Service (EMS) was introduced into Korea in the 1990s, but the role of the EMT in hospital has not been establish. This report is based on our experience for the purpose of introducing the role of the EMT in hospital. 1) EMT assisted a doctor in emergency department. 2) EMT served as a member of CPCR team in hospital during last 3 years. The survival rate of CPCR in hospital was higher than other result in Korea. 3) EMT performed his duties as a keeper of hemodynamically unstable or severely injured patients very well. 4) EMT transferred patients with safety. 5) EMT ran with rapid triage. We think that EMT will play an important role in hospital from now on.
