Abstract:

This contract extension was to continue to generate data from Maine's EMS management system for the purpose of evaluating EMS effectiveness. This study suggests support for the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in patient outcome between the reference group receiving BLS treatment and a comparison group receiving ALS treatments. Incomplete data complicated the process of implementing the proposed evaluation design using ridit analysis. The resulting modifications to the design will facilitate repetition of the study using 1981 data in hopes of generating more cells for analysis. Ambulance personnel should be encouraged to record accurate and complete prehospital data so that EMS effectiveness can be documented for funding purposes.
