AbstractBackgroundPrehospital airway management (AM) is the first priority in the care of emergency and trauma victims as it has shown to improve survival in these patients.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess training and knowledge of ambulance staff and availability of AM equipment in ambulances of Karachi, Pakistan.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from June through September 2014. Interviews were conducted with management of six ambulance service providers and 165 ambulance staff. Data from the management included availability of AM equipment in the ambulances, number and designation of staff sent for emergency calls, and AM training of staff. Ambulance staff were assessed for their awareness, knowledge, and training pertaining to AM.ResultsAll the ambulance services (A through F) had basic equipment for AM but lacked qualified and trained staff. All services had solo drivers (98.3%) for emergency calls; however, Ambulance Service A also had doctors and paramedics. Only 35.7% (59/165) of ambulance staff had awareness regarding AM, out of which 77.9% (46/59) belonged to Ambulance Service A. Of these 59 staff, 81.4% received some form of AM training. Staff with AM awareness, when assessed for knowledge pertaining to AM steps and AM equipment, had a mean score of 4.7/5 and 8.4/12, respectively.ConclusionEven though ambulances are equipped with basic equipment, due to lack of trained staff, these ambulances only serve the mere purpose of transportation. There is a need to train ambulance staff and increase ambulance to staff ratio to improve prehospital AM and patient survival.IsmailS, ZiaN, SamadK, NaeemR, AhmadH, RazaA, BaqirM, KhanUR.

Abstract:
Ambulance services appear to be under increasing pressure to provide a full range of services to the Community. It is important, therefore, that the service is appropriately utilised by patients. Health Service Managers, however, have little readily available information which identifies ‘appropriate’ utilisation. A simple technique is suggested to measure ‘appropriateness’ of utilisation of ambulances and a pilot survey of ambulance use by patients attending Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital Out-Patient clinics is described. In each case of ambulance use a panel of health professionals evaluated the ‘appropriateness’ of the patient having utilised this service. In the clinics surveyed, 91% of the sample of 328 patients did not use an ambulance to travel to clinics; in only two cases was use of the ambulance considered to be ‘probably inappropriate’. Misuse of the ambulance service was minimal during this study. Health Service Managers have been provided with some evidence to refute suggestions of substantial, inappropriate use of the ambulance service.

Abstract:
Ambulance services are becoming a trend for early response to emergencies in major cities. The performance of the ambulance service will increase in line with the population and possible problems in the area. EMS services are essential at this time, as any life-threatening condition requires immediate action to prevent disability and death. Ambulances are required to provide assurance to chronically ill patients that the service they provide is adequate and can handle them in case of deterioration. This study aims to describe the frequency of pre-hospital ambulance use in patients with chronic diseases. This research method is an observational study with a retrospective approach to find the frequency of ambulance use by chronic diseases during the period 2019-2021. The results showed the three highest cases of pre-hospital ambulance use in Denpasar City were accident, fire and evacuation services for sick patients. The use of prehospital ambulances by chronic diseases has not reached half of the ambulance services. Stroke, diabetes mellitus and heart disease are the three most common chronic diseases that use pre-hospital ambulance services.

Abstract:
Background: An efficient ambulance service is a vital component of emergency medical services. We determined the emergency ambulance response and transport times and ambulance exit outcomes in Bhutan. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving real-time monitoring of emergency ambulance deployments managed by a central toll-free (112) hotline (20 October 2021 to 20 January 2022) was carried out. Results: Of 5092 ambulance deployments, 4291 (84%) were inter-facility transfers, and 801 (16%) were for emergencies. Of the latter, 703 (88%) were for non-pregnancy-related emergencies (i.e., medical, surgical, and accidents), while 98 (12%) were for pregnancy-related emergencies. The median ambulance response and patient transport times were 42 (IQR 3–271) and 41 (IQR 2–272) minutes, respectively. The median round-trip distance travelled by ambulances was 18 km (range 1–186 km). For ambulance exit outcomes that were pregnancy-related (n = 98), 89 (91%) reached the health facility successfully, 8 delivered prior to ambulance arrival at the scene or in the ambulance during transport, and 1 had no outcome record. For the remaining 703 non-pregnancy deployments, 29 (4.1%) deployments were deemed not required or refusals, and 656 (93.3%) reached the health facility successfully; 16 (2.3%) died before the ambulance’s arrival at the scene, and 2 (0.3%) were not recorded. Conclusions: This first countrywide real-time operational research showed acceptable ambulance exit outcomes. Improving ambulance response and transport times might reduce morbidities and mortalities further.

Abstract:
ImportanceThe No Surprises Act implemented in 2022 aims to protect patients from surprise out-of-network (OON) bills, but it does not include ground ambulance services. Understanding ground ambulance OON and balance billing patterns from previous years could guide legislation aimed to protect patients following ground ambulance use.ObjectiveTo characterize OON billing from ground ambulance services by evaluating whether OON billing risk differs by the site of ambulance origination (home, hospital, nonhospital medical facility, or scene of incident).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsCross-sectional study of the Merative MarketScan dataset between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2020, using claims-based data from employer-based private health insurance plans in the US. Participants included patients who utilized ground ambulances during the study period. Data were analyzed from June to December 2023.ExposureMedical encounter requiring ground ambulance transportation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresGround ambulance OON billing prevalence was calcuated. Linear probability models adjusted for state-level mixed effects were fit to evaluate OON billing probability across ambulance origins. Secondary outcomes included the allowed payment, patient cost-sharing amounts, and potential balance bills for OON ambulances.ResultsAmong 2 031 937 ground ambulance services (1 375 977 unique patients) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1 072 791 (52.8%) rides transported men, and the mean (SD) patient age was 41 (18) years. Of all services, 1 113 676 (54.8%) were billed OON. OON billing probabilities for ambulances originating from home or scene were higher by 12.0 percentage points (PP) (95% CI, 11.8-12.2 PP; P < .001 for home; 95% CI, 11.7-12.2 PP; P < .001 for scene) vs those originating from hospitals. Mean (SD) total financial burden, including cost-sharing and potential balance bills per ambulance service, was $434.70 ($415.99) per service billed OON vs $132.21 ($244.92) per service billed in-network.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study of over 2 million ground ambulance services, ambulances originating from home, the scene of an incident, and nonhospital medical facilities were more likely to result in OON bills. Legislation is needed to protect patients from surprise billing following use of ground ambulances, more than half of which resulted in OON billing. Future legislation should at minimum offer protections for these subsets of patients often calling for an ambulance in urgent or emergent situations.

Abstract:
The benefits of planning a reliable and effective ambulance and emergency service for healthcare delivery are an indicator of sustainable development. This study assessed the impact of ambulance usage on the conveyance of accident victims in the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA). Simple random sampling was used to sample respondents from the Agency. A total of fifty (50) structured questionnaires were administered to respondents. The questionnaire consists of twenty-one items and was prepared in such a way that it contains all the items under the survey. A simple frequency table was employed to analyze the data obtained. The research revealed that 62 % of the respondents were male and 38 % female while about 42 % accounted for insufficient ambulance vehicles which made the ambulance and emergency services not effective and efficient due to poor planning. Other factors include poor telecommunication service, negative perception that ambulances carry dead bodies, the demand for payment before patients are transported by ambulances, high cost of fuel, shortage of ambulances and the patients’ renege to fulfil an agreed bills and services. At a significant level of 0.05 using Pearson Correlation, Ho calculated (0.630) was less than H1 tabulated (1) and it was inferred that the positive impact of ambulance usage by accident victims can help promote sustainable ambulance usage and good healthcare delivery. The study concluded that public education on ambulance and emergency services will help rid of false perceptions.

Abstract:
Introduction: An effective Emergency Medical Service system does not exist in Nepal. For an effective EMS system to be developed the scale of the problem and the existing facilities need to be studied. Methods: Prospective observational study was carried out on 1964 patients attending Emergency Department at Patan Hospital during one month period of September 2006. The patients were specifically enquired on mode of transport used, place of origin and whether they called for an ambulance or not. Patients triage category at the time of triaging was also noted. Information on ambulance service were collected by direct interview with the service providers and the total number of patients attending Emergency Departments daily were collected from the major hospitals of the urban Lalitpur and Kathmandu. MS Excel and SPSS software were used for data entry, editing and analysis.Results: Total 9.9% patients arrived in ambulance whereas 53.6% came in a Taxi, 11.4% came in private vehicle, 13.5 % came by bus, 5.4% came by bike and the rest 6.2% came by other modes of transportation. Only 13.5% of triage category I patients took the ambulance. There were 31 service providers with 49 ambulances and 720 patients per day attend Emergency Departments in the surveyed area. Conclusions: Very less number of patients use the ambulance service for emergency services. The available ambulances are not properly equipped and do not have trained staff and as such are only a means of transportation to the hospitals of urban Lalitpur and Kathmandu.Key Words: ambulance, emergency medical service, para-medics, triage Need of Improvement in Emergency Medical Service in Urban Cities Gongal R,1Dhungana B,1Regmi S,1Nakarmi M,2Yadav B11Patan Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal, 2Health Care Foundation, Kathmandu, NepalCorrespondence:Dr. Rajesh GongalDepartment of SurgeryPatan Hospital, Patan, Nepal.Email: rajgongal@yahoo.comORIGINAL ARTICLE J Nepal Med Assoc 2009;48(174):139-43INTRODUCTIONThe sophisticated Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is limited to developed country only.

Abstract:
Background Despite emergency ambulance services playing a pivotal role in accessibility to life-saving treatments in Malaysia, there are still numerous gaps in knowledge in terms of their utilization and cost. This leads to current policies on procurement, maintenance, and allocation being predicated on historical evidence and expert opinions. This study thus aims to analyse the cost and utilization of ambulance services in selected public health facilities in Malaysia. Methods A cross-sectional study was employed involving 239 ambulances from selected hospitals and clinics. Ambulance service utilization was based on the number of trips, distance and duration of travel obtained from travel logbooks. A mixed top-down and activity-based costing approach was used to estimate the monthly cost of ambulance services. This constituted personnel, maintenance, fuel, overhead, consumables, ambulance, and medical equipment costs. The utilization and costs of ambulance services were further compared between settings and geographical locations. Results The average total cost of ambulance services was MYR 11,410.44 (US$ 2,756.14) for hospitals and MYR 9,574.39 (US$ 2,312.65) for clinics, albeit not significantly different. Personnel cost was found to be the main contributor to the total cost, at around 44% and 42% in hospitals and clinics, respectively. There was however a significant difference in the total cost in terms of the type and age of ambulances, in addition to their location. In terms of service utilization, the median number of trips and duration of ambulance usage was significantly higher in clinics (31.88 trips and 58.58 hours) compared to hospitals (16.25 trips and 39.25 hours). Conclusions The total cost of ambulance services was higher in hospitals compared to clinics, while its utilization showed a converse trend. The current findings evidence that despite the ambulance services being all under the MOH, their operating process and utilization reflected an inherent difference by setting.

Abstract:
This abstract introduces a Smart Ambulance Service (SAS) along with its accompanying service application designed to address critical needs in emergency medical care. The SAS incorporates cutting-edge technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time data analytics to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response systems. The SAS aims to revolutionize traditional ambulance services by leveraging IoT devices installed within ambulances. These devices collect vital signs of patients en route to the hospital, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, and transmit this data in real-time to healthcare providers. This real-time data transmission allows medical personnel to prepare for the patients arrival, making the transition from ambulance to hospital smoother and reducing delays in treatment. Furthermore, the service application is user-friendly interface accessible to both emergency responders and hospital staff. It provides a centralized platform for managing ambulance dispatch, tracking ambulance locations and monitoring patient conditions remotely. Emergency responders can input patient information, vital signs, and the nature of the emergency directly into the application, ensuring that hospital staffs are well- informed before the ambulance arrives.

Abstract:
This study aimed to the socioeconomic and clinical characteristics associated with the use of 119 ambulance/private cars and the number of emergency room visits based on the 2017 data from the Korea Health Panel. The analysis revealed that during emergencies, the use of private cars (59.02%) was more common than 119 ambulance services (18.89%). Moreover, 119 ambulance users were significantly older, had a lower annual total household income, and had relatively more accidents than diseases when compared to private car users. On comparing the number of emergency room visits between single and multiple visits, there were statistically significant differences in age, total annual household income, season of use, and reasons for use for private car usage than 119 ambulances. The 119 ambulance service is an essential public safety net. Therefore, it is increasingly important to solve the frequent use of 119 ambulances by non-emergency patients, and efficiently utilize limited ambulance resources.

Abstract:
Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly if they are able to offer specific technical capabilities within a market at lower cost, but broadly equal and effective to that offered by traditional products or services. Paramedics could be described in this way and are a newly professionalised group, with distinctive capabilities in terms of responding to the needs of not just the acutely ill and injured, but increasingly those patients with undifferentiated non-life- threatening conditions, which increasingly make up the bulk of 999 call demand. The key to their transition from an artisan, skilled worker to professional status is the acquisition of certain ‘hallmarks’. Perhaps the most important of these is the completion of more prolonged education that affords the opportunity to graduate with enhanced decision-making and other clinical skills in order to meet the needs of the full spectrum of patients in the pre-hospital setting. Paramedics were surveyed to determine how they rated their ‘traditional’ preparation and to establish what their attitudes were to a more educationally based approach. Paramedics themselves proved to be realistic regarding shortcomings in established training and education systems, while also being strongly motivated to learn more within a higher education setting, particularly if this additional effort would result in being able to offer a wider range of care to their patients. During the study, major changes in the health care environment and the role of the Ambulance Service took place, leading to a requirement to undertake a second phase of research. This took the form of ‘Horizon Scanning’ in an attempt to detect ‘signals’, themes and trends in relation to newly emerging ‘competitors’ to the paramedic role. These included nursing, new practitioners and most critically, the rapidly emerging medical sub-speciality of pre-hospital care, staffed by medical personnel on a pattern found specifically in some European countries, sometimes termed the ‘Franco-German’ model/System (FGM/S). Hitherto, the model of provision in the UK had followed the ‘Anglo-American’ model/System (AAM/S), approach, with paramedics providing direct patient care in the field and medical staff largely involved in medical oversight, teaching, clinical governance and other higher level roles. As part of this research, the evidence base for change was examined and consideration given to the factors that might help clarify what the likely situation could be in 2030 in respect of ambulance services, pre-hospital care and paramedics. This future is uncertain, but factors have been identified that would militate in favour of one or other model prevailing, with close links established between educational preparation, system design, career structure and the continuance of the professionalisation process favouring paramedic progression. However, other factors, most specifically professional power, the absence of a clear evidence base and an apparent reluctance to clearly acknowledge this in some respects, lead to the conclusion that the future of pre-hospital care remains uncertain and contested, but also potentially amenable to a well-directed influencing strategy.

Abstract:
The primary aim of the research project was to develop conceptual models of rural ambulance service delivery based on different worldviews or philosophical positions, and then to compare and contrast these new and emerging models with existing organisational policy and practice. Four research aims were explored: community expectations of pre-hospital care, the existing organization of rural ambulance services, the measurement of ambulance service performance, and the comparative suitability of different pre-hospital models of service delivery. A unique feature was the use of soft systems methodology to develop the models of service delivery. It is one of the major non-traditional systems approaches to organisational research and lends itself to problem solving in the real world. The classic literature-hypothesis-experiment-results-conclusion model of research was not followed. Instead, policy and political analysis techniques were used as counter-points to the systems approach. The program of research employed a triangulation technique to adduce evidence from various sources in order to analyse ambulance services in rural Victoria. In particular, information from questionnaires, a focus group, interviews and performance data from the ambulance services themselves were used. These formed a rich dataset that provided new insight into rural ambulance services. Five service delivery models based on different worldviews were developed, each with its own characteristics, transformation processes and performance criteria. The models developed are titled: competitive; sufficing; community; expert; and practitioner. These conceptual models are presented as metaphors and in the form of holons and rich pictures, and then transformed into patient pathways for operational implementation. All five conceptual models meet the criteria for systemic desirability and were assessed for their political and cultural feasibility in a range of different rural communities. They provide a solid foundation for future discourse, debate and discussion about possible changes to the way pre-hospital services are delivered in rural Victoria.

Abstract:
AbstractThere is much potential and promise for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, e.g., in radiology, mental health, ambulance service triage, sepsis diagnosis and prognosis, patient-facing chatbots, and drug and vaccine development. However, the aspiration of improving the safety and efficiency of health systems by using AI is weakened by a narrow technology focus and by a lack of independent real-world evaluation. It is to be expected that when AI is integrated into health systems, challenges to safety will emerge, some old, and some novel. Examples include design for situation awareness, consideration of workload, automation bias, explanation and trust, support for human–AI teaming, training requirements and the impact on relationships between staff and patients. The use of healthcare AI also raises significant ethical challenges. To address these issues, a systems approach is needed for the design of AI from the outset. Two examples are presented to illustrate these issues: 1. Design of an autonomous infusion pump and 2. Implementation of AI in an ambulance service call centre to detect out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract:
The article contains general aspects regarding the right to health and analyzes the European and national regulations in this regard, outlining certain elements specific to this right. Although the research starts from these generalities, it continues with particular aspects of access to emergency medical services for citizens, exemplifying concrete statistics from one of Romania's counties and the difficulties faced by the emergency medical system during the COVID-19 pandemics. The research is based on certain specialized bibliographic resources, but also on information from the written press from that time, but especially on the findings contained in the Special Report of the Romanian Ombudsman in the field of health, which captures very well these deficiencies from the pandemic period and not only. By comparing the situation of the existing ambulances in the inventory of the Brasov County Ambulance Service in 2020 and in 2021, it can be seen that the situation did not improve during the pandemics. Even now, there is no integrated solution at the national level to improve private individuals' access to emergency medical services.

Abstract:
Der Forschungsbericht spiegelt die Ergebnisse der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit am Projekt SO-SERVE (“Social Service Engineering – Synergien von Arbeits- und Dienstleistungswissenschaft für die Verbesserung von Arbeit an und mit Menschen nutzen”) wider. Die Publikation spricht nicht nur Wissenschaftler:innen an, sondern gibt auch detaillierte Einblicke in die Arbeit der Praxispartner. Social Service Engineering geht davon aus, dass nachhaltiger Unternehmenserfolg nur durch eine beschäftigtenorientierte, menschenwürdige Arbeitsgestaltung in Verbindung mit einer Dienstleistungsgestaltung möglich ist, die wirtschaftliche Aspekte und die Wünsche der Kund:innen berücksichtigt. Deshalb kombiniert das entwickelte Social Service Engineering theoretische Ansätze, Konzepte und Methoden aus dem Service Engineering und der Arbeitspsychologie, um Synergien aus beiden Disziplinen zu generieren. Der Forschungsbericht beschreibt das Vorgehen bei der Entwicklung und Erprobung des Social Service Engineerings. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Darstellung der praktischen Anwendung in der Praxis, wobei der Fokus auf der Arbeit der Partner aus den Bereichen der ambulanten Pflege sowie der Kindertagesbetreuung liegt. Ziel des Berichtes ist, die Mehrwerte des Social Service Engineerings weiteren Unternehmen darzustellen und ihnen Möglichkeiten vorzustellen, von diesem Ansatz zu profitieren. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch der mögliche Umgang mit Herausforderungen des Ergebnistransfers diskutiert.

Abstract:
This Evidence Snapshot provides a rapid review of the evidence around the effectiveness of secondary triage models for residents of aged care facilities. Models analysed included those with or without medical support, those with additional intervention in the residential aged care facilities (RACFs), and those with referral to vs collaboration with alternative services. Outcomes included were ED presentations, hospital admissions and ambulance demand. While the strength of the overall evidence is low, the strongest evidence was found for interventions in RACFs and a community-based early pre-hospital assessment model. The authors also looked at other outcomes of interest including cost-effectiveness; staffing, training and qualifications; and resident and patient participation in decision-making.
