This study analyzed current prehospital emergency care for severe trauma patients administered by different number of 119 EMS (emergency medical services) teams. Out of 1,067 severe trauma patients transferred by 119 EMS teams in J province from January 1st to December 31st 2015, 438 were evaluated in this study. IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used to analyze collected data. The number of patients with severe trauma during the period of study was higher in male with two and three ambulance crews of 119 EMS teams with 242 patients (70.6%) and 66 patients (69.5%) respectively. The percentage of transfers made to local emergency medical centers was highest in those two groups, being 44.0% (151 patients) and 49.5% (47 patients), respectively. Total time spent at the scene did not differ between ambulance crews of two and three, nor did the frequency of practicing advanced airway management and IV (intravenous) cannulation, or the success rate of IV cannulation (p=0.253, p=0.362, p=1.000). Overall, the results indicated that merely increasing the number of paramedics does not improve the quality of prehospital care for severe trauma patients. Measures such as securing professional paramedics, simplifying direct medical oversights, activating indirect medical oversights, and expanding the legally allowed work scope are required.

The aim of this study is to reveal the right approach and prognosis of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) by reviewing the various researches on CVAs. The reviews were done by BNBI PubMed, KMBase, RISS, and KoreaMed. Based on the articles, prevalence rate of CVA, prehospital CVA patients assessment and emergency care, and in-hospital care were analyzed. The most important scales are Cincinnati prehospital stroke scale(CPSS) and Los Angeles prehospital stroke screen(LAPSS). These two scales are the basic assessment tools for CVAs and it is necessary to perform the emergency care by way of these scales.

본 논문에서는 스포츠 경기에서 일어날 수 있는 부상에 대해 올바른 지식과 대처방법을 잘 표현하는 앱을 만드는 것으로, 스포츠 팀에 필요한 팀 탁터 역할을 할 수 있는 앱을 설계한다. 일반적으로 팀 닥터는 일정 규모의 선수단이나 경기에서 상주하면서 선수들이 부상이 발생할 때마다 응급처치 및 병원에서 적절한 치료를 받도록 해준다. 그러나, 아마추어팀이나 학생들이 하는 소규모 그룹에서는 거의 코치나 학생들밖에 없는 경우가 다반사이다. 이럴 경우 팀닥터의 역할을 해주는 앱을 사용하므로써 의료기관을 방문하기 전까지 누구나 쉽게 의료정보를 얻고 응급처치를 할 수 있도록 해준다.

In August 2000, the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council published the conclusions of tile International Guidelines 2000 Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care which contains both the new recommendations and an in-depth review. The most important changes in the recommendations according to the authors are discontinuation of the pulse-check for lay people, 500 ml instead of 800∼1,200 ml tidal volume during bag-valve-mask ventilation (FiO2 > 0.4) of a patient with an unprotected airway, unifying correct endotracheal intubation size as 8.0 mm, vasopressin (40 units) and epinephrine (1 mg) as comparable drugs to treat patients with ventricular fibrillation, early prehospital survey and intravenous lysis for patients who have suffered coronary artery syndrome and stroke.

Purpose: This study surveyed how victims with acute traumatic hand injuries received pre-hospital care and how satisfied they were with that care. Method: A total of 100 adults were interviewed using a questionnaire at one microsurgical clinic in Korea. Results: Only 12 patients (12.0%) were transported by the ambulance and the others by private or company's vehicles. Only 9 patients (9.0 %) were able to get appropriate first response from the EMTs or industrial health providers at the scene of the accidents. The mean time required for transportation from the scene of the accident to the operation room of the microsurgical clinic was $372.65{\pm}719.17$ minutes. Most of the patients were satisfied with the pre-hospital care provided by the EMT or industrial health providers but dissatisfied with that provided by lay persons. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that there is a lack in the first response provided at the scene and the activation of EMS (Emergency Medical System) for acute hand injury. It is necessary to educate the public about the appropriate first response and rapid transportation to the appropriate microsurgical clinic.

High-quality customized services demand was growing due to the increase of aging, extremely nuclear family, disaster vulnerable of society. Ambulance service is required of fast and professional rescue and emergency service because of preventable death rate such as acute diseases, cerebral and cardiovascular diseases, suicides, etc. was higher than in developed countries. First aid will be available using patients information when emergency occurs, before arriving at the hospital. And emergency department is equipped with that patient care can be prepared in advance, increase the efficiency of emergency care. We received a variety of complex emergency call using high social awareness of 119 number and propose an efficient emergency medical service advancement strategy building an integrated response system with relevant organization.

When patients have acute cardiac arrest before they are hospitalized, the ratio of CPR done by the general public is directly related to patient survival ratio. However, compared with that of advanced nations, our nation has low patient survival ratio due to its low ratio of CPR done by the general public. To improve this situation, the current study conducted a pre-survey targeting 3,800 general public to find how to apply an emergent medical system using smart phone location-based service. According to its outcome, first, they have a high level of CPR experience while their recognition of CPR generality is low. Second, their self-confidence in doing CPR significantly differ according to their age, academic achievement and occupation yet with generally low self-confidence. Third, their participation in the emergent medical system using location-based service APPs is high, and has co-relation to their will for CPR, self-confidence in CPR and experience in CPR training.

사회가 고령화, 초핵가족화 및 재난취약계층이 늘어나면서 요구호자에 대한 고품질 맞춤형서비스가 필요하게 되었고, 급성진환, 심뇌혈관 고위험 환자 및 자살 등 예방가능 사망률이 선진국에 비해 높음에 따라 신속하고 전문적인 구조 구급서비스가 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 응급환자가 발생하였을 때 병원 도착 전 환자의 정보를 이용하여 응급처치가 가능하도록 하고, 응급의료기관에서는 환자 진료준비를 사전에 할 수 갖출 수 있도록 하여 응급환자 진료의 효율성을 극대화하였다. 또한 사회적 인지도가 높은 119번호를 이용한 다양한 복합 응급신고 접수 시 유관기관과 통합적 대응체계를 구축하는 효율적 응급의료서비스 고도화 전략을 제시하고자 한다.

효율적인 술후 통증치료를 위해서는 통증치료의 방법과 환자관리면을 동시에 고려하여야 한다. 방법은 상술한 바와 갈이 술후 통증기전에 부합되는 방법들이 예방적으로 적용되어야 하고 아울러 환자 개개인에 맞는 지속적인 균형제통이 시행되어야 한다. 그리고 환자관리면에서는 환자의 통증을 자주 평가하고 그에 동반된 처치 및 간호업무가 수반되어야 한다. 그러므로 술후 통증관리는 진통제에 대한 전문지식을 갖춘 의료인이 적합한 제통방법을 지속적으로 시행하여야 하는데 그러기 위해서는 효율적인 조직체제가 필요하다. 구미각국에서는 여러해 전부터 술후 통증관리가 통증관리센터란 체제하에서 효과적인 급성 통증치료실로 운영되어져 왔으며 현재는 병원의 중심센타로 확립된 실정이다. 우리나라도 국민의료보험이 도입된지 17년이 지났고 환자 위주의 병원환경이 마련되어야 한다는 데에는 대다수의 국민들로부터 공감대가 형성된 현시점에서 이제는 통증관리센터가 설립되어야 한다고 생각된다. 이러한 제안이 기정사실화 되기까지는 많은 논의와 임상결과에 대한 자료들이 있어야 하겠지만 무엇보다도 마취과 의사들의 술후통증관리에 대한 지속적인 관심과 연구가 뒷바침되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

우리나라 응급의료체계의 구축은 선진국이 1960년대 초 시작한 반면 1980년 이후 구축되기 시작하여 아직까지 미흡한 편이다. 사고 및 재해 발생시 응급환자에 대한 적절한 처치는 관련정보가 빠르게 전달되고, 적절하게 사용되어 응급환자로 하여금 지체시간내에 얼마나 적합한 응급의료서비스를 수혜토록 하느냐가 가장 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 의료기관, 소방서 등 의료체계의 실태조사를 통하여 현재의 응급의료체계의 현황과 문제점을 분석하였다. GIS를 이용하여 119구급차 등 응급차량이 가는 경로와 일반 시민들이 이용할 수 있는 응급경로탐색에서 많은 영향을 미치는 교통요소, 좌회전, 우회전, 경유지, 시간대별 교통량을 고려하였다. 그리고 환자의 상태에 따른 병원을 찾도록 정보를 제공하였다. 이러한 교통요소 및 병원에 대한 정보를 제공함으로서 보다 나은 환자이송에 최적경로를 제시하고자 하였다.
