Background:

Emergency medical services (EMS) professionals provide critical care in unpredictable environments.
Despite decades of service, the optimal effectiveness of current EMS practices lacks sufficient evidence.
There is a recognized need to improve the scientific basis of prehospital care.

Purpose of the Study:

To advocate for increased national investment in the EMS research infrastructure.
To highlight the necessity of funding for training new researchers and supporting career development.
To emphasize the importance of research in developing effective prehospital treatments for conditions like injury and cardiac arrest.

Main Methods:

The document outlines the need for innovative strategies to facilitate EMS research in emergency settings.
It stresses the importance of accessing patient outcome data for evaluation and improvement.
The necessity of applying scientific methodology to evaluate new biomedical and technical advances is discussed.

Main Results:

Current EMS practices may not be optimal due to a lack of evidence.
A robust research infrastructure is essential for accumulating evidence on EMS effectiveness.
Research is key to improving prehospital care and community health outcomes.

Conclusions:

Elevating the science of EMS and prehospital care requires dedicated research efforts.
Innovative strategies and rigorous evaluation are needed to enhance patient care and safety.
Further research is essential to answer critical questions and improve existing practices in emergency medical services.
