Abstract
The integration of EMS into the healthcare system is relatively new compared to other fields like nursing. As a result, there has been a scarce amount of research performed in the prehospital setting. This research focused on studying the effects of giving detailed feedback to prehospital providers by evaluating the improvements in provider mental health and patient outcomes in cardiac arrest patients. Prehospital providers rarely receive patient outcomes from hospitals. Oftentimes, when someone is experiencing a life-threatening event, EMS providers are forced to “load-and-go” from the point of patient contact, transport drop them to the nearest appropriate hospital, and turn around to get back in service; very rarely do they receive the outcome of the patients they have just treated. The transition into more evidence-based practices can lead to further advancements made in future EMS systems.
