Abstract
The mobilized coronary care system in Columbus, Ohio [USA] began with operation of a single vehicle with a physician in attendance. Currently, advanced emergency medical technician-paramedics work without direct physician supervision. When both experiences are compared, advanced emergency medical technician-paramedics working independently perform as well as physician counterparts.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
