General practitioners participating in ambulance services improve prehospital care for acutely ill patients. Further training in resuscitation and optimized alarm systems are recommended for enhanced emergency medical services.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Prehospital Care
  • General Practice

Background:

  • Current prehospital emergency care systems face challenges in timely and effective treatment of acutely ill patients.
  • The integration of general practitioners into ambulance services aims to enhance immediate medical interventions.
  • Effective prehospital care is crucial for improving patient outcomes, especially in cardiac emergencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of general practitioners participating in ambulance services for prehospital treatment.
  • To assess the types of cases managed and the outcomes of this integrated care model.
  • To identify areas for improvement in prehospital emergency response systems.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study design was employed over a one-year period.

  • Data were collected from 141 cases involving general practitioners in ambulance services.
  • Case diagnoses, interventions (including resuscitation attempts), and patient outcomes were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • The arrangement involved 141 cases, with approximately 40% being cardiac patients.
    • Resuscitation was attempted in 11 cardiac arrest patients, with two successfully discharged from the hospital.
    • Half of the emergency alarms were routed through the on-duty doctor, indicating suboptimal central alarm function.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of general practitioners into ambulance services is a feasible approach to enhance prehospital care for acutely ill patients.
    • Increased public training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential to complement this model.
    • Optimization of the central alarm system is necessary for a more efficient emergency response.
