Abstract

Emergency medicine plays a strategic role in delivering acute care services to patients with acute medical illnesses. EMS is the foremost link in the chain of care and can determine the stability of a patient before they are transferred, thereby profoundly impacting the patient’s status. The most recent accomplishments in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care, which include emergency medical technologies, telemedicine, and emergency medicine apps, have transformed the field. Regardless, despite improvements in some areas, challenges like scarcity of workforce, deficiency in standardized treatment procedures, and inequalities in the availability of services are still felt in the quality and availability of pre-hospital care. This review synthesizes best and emerging practices, progress, and issues current in emergency medicine, especially pre-hospital care.
