Application of long-distance emergency guidance in pre-hospital emergency

Objective To observe the effect of remote first aid instruction in pre-hospital first aid. Methods 2 104 pre-hospital first-aid cases in 2016 were set as experimental group, and 2 062 pre-hospital first-aid cases in 2015 were set as control group. The experimental group carried out the long-distance emergency guidance after receiving the visiting task. The number of cases receiving disposal measures before the professional pre-hospital first aid, the number of effective cases, and the patients’ satisfaction degree were compared between the two groups. Results Before professional first aid, the control group took disposal measures for 780 cases (37.8%), the experimental group took disposal measures for 1 796 cases (85.4%); there were 265 cases (34.0%) of effective measures in the control group, 1 709 cases (95.2%) in the experimental group; the patients’ satisfaction degree was 81.0% in the control group, and 96.0% in the experimental group; there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion The application of remote first aid guidance can timely instruct patients or relatives to give effective emergency treatment measures, to obtain the time for pre-hospital first aid and improve the patients' satisfaction degree.
