COMPARISON OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction. Emergency medical services (EMS) is a well-organized system used to get wounded or ill patients to the hospital. The primary goal of emergency medical services should be to make emergency medical care universally accessible to everyone in need. We give an overview of different system designs, system funding, and training. The aim of the study is to analyze emergency medical services in different countries. Material and methods. We searched scientific publications in evidence-based medicine databases (PubMed, UpToDate, TripDatabase, ResearchGate). Search keywords: "Emergency medical technician", "medical first responder", "emergency medical services", "emergency healthcare system", and "paramedic". A total 118 sources were found, and 32 articles were chosen for additional examination. Results and conclusion. The creation of a single interdepartmental classifier of events, incidents, and emergencies as well as the approval of a single response process for all operational and emergency services are required in order to create a single information space (integrated communication platform) for emergency services that will allow for the prompt and efficient exchange of information. Emergency care must be administered by skilled personnel, including traffic officers, firefighters, and drivers, who are often the first on the scene of an accident. The amount of training hours for those without medical degrees should be raised in light of worldwide experience.
