    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Public Health Systems

    Background:

    • Emergency Medical Services (EMS) systems are crucial for managing diverse patient needs.
    • Effective EMS requires balancing rapid response with resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a selective dual response EMS model.
    • To assess resource conservation and skill enhancement within this EMS model.

    Main Methods:

    • The study examined an EMS system featuring rapid response, extrication, basic and advanced life support, communication, and transport.
    • The selective dual response system's validity was assessed based on key performance indicators.

    Main Results:

    • The dual response system demonstrated rapid provision of basic life support.
