Overall survival of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (*OHCA*) is less than 10% worldwide and in Taiwan. Interventions provided by the emergency medical system (*EMS*) before arrival at the hospital are of paramount importance to patient outcomes after OHCA. Among those interventions, the pros-and-cons of different vascular accesses, including intraosseous (*IO*) access or intravenous (*IV*) access, remained the issue of most under debate. The objective of this study is to determine the comparative effectiveness of IO access vs IV access in patients with OHCA by a randomized controlled trial (*RCT*) in Taipei EMS. To name in short, the investigators called it a "*VICTOR* trial" standing for "Venous Injection Compared To intraOsseous injection during Resuscitation of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest".
There is a need to reduce the number of ambulance transports to the Emergency Room to the patients who are not in need of urgent medical care. There are currently no studies and the aim of the study is to investigate if the ambulance transports to the Emergency Room can be reduced by a dialogue between a Registered Nurse in ambulance and a Medical Doctor in the Primary Care (called "Ambulant assessment"). In this connection there is also a need to follow up patients that not have been transported to the Emergency Room, secondary ambulance transport, relapse within 48 hours, type of examination and treatment and mortality.
The purpose of this study is to examine if real time transmission of vital signs, ECG and chat communication between the prehospital ambulances and the emergency department has an effect on patient mortality, ICU admission, hospitalization time, time to doctor, time to treatment and time to diagnostics
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telemedically supported and delegated pain therapy in the Emergency Medical Service (EMS).
