본 연구는 효율적인 병원전 응급의료서비스를 구축하기 위한 자료를 제시하기 위하여 광역자치단체의 구급서비스 수요와 소방력, 그리고 양자 간의 관계를 조사하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 2000년부터 2010년까지 특별시 광역시, 도 등 16개 광역자치단체의 이송환자의 수/주민수, 구급차의 수/주민수, 구급대원의 수/주민수, 이송환자의 수/ 구급차의 수, 이송환자의 수/구급대원의 수와 같은 변수를 측정한 다음 이를 이용하여 4가지 가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과 특별시 광역시 지역(수도권 지역)과 도 지역(비수도권 지역)의 평균 이송환자 수는 유의적인 차이가 발생하였으며, 특별시 광역시 지역(수도권 지역)과 도 지역(비수도권 지역)의 소방력에서도 유의적인 차이가 발생하였다. 또한, 특별시 광역시 지역(수도권 지역)과 도 지역(비수도권 지역)의 구급차 1대당 이송환자수와 구급대원 1인의 이송 환자 수는 유의적인 차이가 발생하였으며, 구급차 1대당 이송환자의 수는 전반기와 후반기에 유의적인 차이가 나타났다. 그러나 구급대원 1인당 이송환자 수는 전반기와 후반기에 유의적인 차이가 없었다.

Purpose: No previous study has assessed elderly pedestrian traffic accidents based on a nationwide database. This study aimed to help primary physicians who examine patients in emergency departments to determine and make prompt and accurate treatment decisions. Methods: This study used data from the Emergency Department-based Injury Indepth Surveillance from 2013 to 2017, managed by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pedestrians aged ${\geq}65years$ were included, and using multivariate logistic regression multiple factors were analyzed to determine their relationship with injury severity. Results: Of 227,695 subjects, 6,498 were included, of whom 2,065 (31.8%) were severely injured. There were more female than male patients in all severity groups. Most accidents occurred in the afternoon and on general roads. In the multivariate analysis, the odds ratio (OR) of injury severity for male pedestrians was 1.165 (95% confidence interval: 1.034-1.313, p=0.012). Older age of patients and the use of ambulances were associated with greater injury severity. The accident time affected the degree of injury severity; i.e., compared to dawn, injury severity increased in the morning (OR: 1.246, p=0.047) and decreased at night (OR: 0.678, p<0.001). A significant difference was noted in the correlation between the type of vehicle causing the accident and the accident severity; i.e., motorcycle accidents had lower severity than bicycle accidents (OR: 0.582, p=0.047). Conclusions: Injury severity was correlated with sex, age, transportation to the ED, TA onset time, and type of vehicle. The study results suggest that injury severity may be positively reflected in initial assessments and overall integrated treatments by physicians and in the related policies.

As the society is being industrialized, the fast-paced economic development that has caused substantial increase in cerebrovascular and coronary artery diseases and the industrial development and increased use of means of transportation have resulted in the rapid rise of incidents in external injuries as well. So the pubic has become acutely aware of the need for fast and effective emergency care delivery system. The goal of emergency care delivery system is to meet the emergency care needs of patients. The emergency care delivery system is seeking to efficiently satisfy the care needs of people. Therefore the purpose of this study is designed to develop an effective programs for emergency care delivery system in Korea. The following specific objectives were investigated. This emergency care delivery system must have the necessary man power, for transfering the patients, communication net work, and emergency care facilities. 1) Man power Emergency care requires n0t only specialized traning in the emergency treatment but also knowledge and experience i11 other related area, so emergency care personnel traning program should be designed in order to adapt to the specific need of emergency patients. It will be necessary to ensure professional personnel who aquires the sufficient traning and experience for emergency care and to look for legal basis. We have to develop re-educational programs for emergency nurse specialist. They should be received speciality of emergency nursing care so that they will work actively and positively in emergency part. Emergency medical doctor and nurse specialist should be given an education which is related in emergency and critical care. Emergency care personnel will continue to provide both acute and continuing care as partner with other medical team. 2) Transfering the patients. Successful management of pre-hospital care requires adequate traning for the emergency medical technician. Traning program should be required to participate in a actual first aids activites in order to have apportunities to acquire practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. The system of emergency medical technician should be remarkablly successful with first responder firefighters. Establishing this system must add necessary ambulances operating at any given time. It will be necessary to standardize the ambulance size and equipment. Ambulance should be arranged with each and every fire station. 3) Communication net work. The head office of emergency commumication network should be arranged with the head office of fire station in community. It is proposed that Hot-line system for emergency care should be introduce. High controlled ambulance and thirtial emergency center should simultaneously equip critical-line in order to communication with each other. Ordinary ambulance and secondary emergency facility should also simultaneously equip emergency-line in order to communication with each other. 4) Emergency care facilities. Primary emergency care facilities should be covered with the ambulatory emergency patients-minor illness and injuires. Secondary emergency care facilities should be covered with the emergency admission patients. Third emergency care center should be covered with the critical patients who need special treatments and operation. Secondary and third emergency care facilities should employ emergency medical doctor and emergency nurse specialist to treat in-patients with severe and acute illness and multiple injuires. It should be fashioned for a system of emergency facilities that meets emergency patients needs. Provide incentives for increased number of emergency care facilities with traning in personal/clinical emergency care. 5) Finance It is recommended to put the finance of a emergency care on a firm basis. The emergency care delivery system should be managed by the government or accreditted organizations. In order to facilitate this relevant program the fund is needed for more efficient and effective emergency researchs, service, programs, and policy. 6) Gaining understanding and co-operation of pubic It is also important to undertake pubic education to improve understanding of first aids and C. P. R of individuals, communities and business. It is proposed that teachers and health officers be certified in C. P. R. The C. P. R education can be powerful influence save lives. Lastly appropriate emergency care information must be provided to the pubic for assisting them in choosing emergency care.

목적 병원 밖에서 발생한 심인성 심장정지 환자의 생존 관련 요인들을 알아보고, 우리나라 응급의료제도의 개선 방향에 대해 제안하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 연구방법 2006년부터 2012년까지 7년간 우리나라 119 구급대가 이송한 심장정지 환자 전수 자료 중 심인성 심장정지 환자 90,734명만을 분석 대상으로 하였다. 심장정지 조사 자료는 같은 지역 내 환자의 생존 여부가 상호 관련성이 있는 다층적 구조의 자료이므로, 이를 보정하기 위하여 환자-지역 2단계 다수준 분석을 실시하였다. 결과 본 연구에서 일반인에 의해 심폐소생술(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, CPR)이 시행된 경우 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 생존 퇴원 가능성이 1.40배, 병원 도착전에 제세동을 신속히 시행한 경우 생존퇴원 가능성이 2.98배 높았다. 병원별 응급의학 전문의 수를 5분위로 나누어 분석한 결과, 전문의수가 가장 적은 경우인 1분위를 기준으로 2분위인 경우 1.29배, 3분위인 경우 2.89배, 4분위인 경우 3.39배, 5분위인 경우 4.07배 생존퇴원 가능성이 높아지는 경향성을 나타냈다. 병원별 연평균 심장정지 환자수를 5분위로 나누어 분석한 결과, 심장정지 환자를 가장 적게 보는 병원인 1분위를 기준으로 각각 2분위인 경우 2.06배, 3분위인 경우 3.06배, 4분위인 경우 3.46배, 5분위인 경우 4.36배 생존퇴원 가능성이 높아지는 경향성을 나타냈다. 또 지역박탈지수를 5분위로 나누어 분석한 결과, 지역박탈지수가 가장 낮은 지역인 1분위를 기준으로 2분위인 경우 교차비가 0.96, 3분위인 경우 1.00, 4분위인 경우 0.72, 5분위인 경우 0.64를 보여 지역박탈지수가 높을수록 생존퇴원 가능성이 낮아지는 경향성을 보였다. 결론 일반인에 의해 CPR이 시행된 경우, 병원 도착 전에 제세동을 신속히 시행한 경우 생존 퇴원 가능성이 높아진다. 또 응급의학과 전문의 수가 많은 병원과 심장정지 환자를 많이 보는 병원에서 처치되었을 때, 지역 박탈지수가 낮을수록 생존 가능성이 높아지는 경향성을 나타냈다.
