Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prehospital emergency medicine is a distinctive and dynamic field of medical practice, characterized by the need to make rapid decisions, navigate hazards at incident scenes, work in isolation, overcome environmental challenges, and manage resource constraints. We are pleased to invite clinicians and researchers to share evidence-based recommendations relating to outcome measures in prehospital care. We welcome review articles describing the current state of the art, validation studies for current assessment tools, studies providing new information on existing or new assessment tools, and original articles reviewing care implementations.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of existing issues in emergency care.
- Validation studies for existing assessment tools.
- Original research studies encompassing basic science, clinical applications, quantitative approaches (including epidemiological and population-based research), or qualitative analyses in fields of relevance to prehospital care.
- Cross-sectional studies on prehospital care in specific countries.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
