2015, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :This implies that it may be safe to bypass local hospitals and transport the post-cardiac arrest patient to a regional cardiac arrest centre. There is indirect evidence that regional cardiac resuscitation systems of care improve outcome after ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).407,419–442 The implication from all these data is that specialist cardiac arrest centres and systems of care may be effective.443–446
History of Injury and Violence as public health problems and emergence of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at CDC
2012, Journal of Safety ResearchCitation Excerpt :As part of the Safety Acts, States were required to include Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as part of their highway safety programs. Several prototype emergency medical systems were developed from this initiative that identified the essential characteristics of regional trauma systems and provided the first indications that implementation of such systems saved lives (Mullner & Goldberg, 1978; Waters & Wells, 1973). In 1966, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and National Research Council (NRC) released Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society (NRC, 1966), a brief, but succinct white paper.

There is indirect evidence that regional cardiac resuscitation systems of care improve outcome after ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).828–850 The implication from all these data is that specialist cardiac arrest centres and systems of care may be effective but, as yet, there is no direct evidence to support this hypothesis.851–853

2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :High-quality randomised trials and prospective observational studies of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) SOCs demonstrated improved422–425 or neutral426–431 outcomes compared with no SOC. Many case-control studies of regionalised care for trauma patients demonstrated improved432–450 or neutral outcomes451–457 when comparing an SOC with no SOC. One study that evaluated a trauma SOC458 showed a higher mortality in the trauma centre.
European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation 2010 Section 1. Executive summary
2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :There is some low-level evidence that ICUs admitting more than 50 post-cardiac arrest patients per year produce better survival rates than those admitting less than 20 cases per year.61 There is indirect evidence that regional cardiac resuscitation systems of care improve outcome ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).382–404 The implication from all these data is that specialist cardiac arrest centres and systems of care may be effective but, as yet, there is no direct evidence to support this hypothesis.405–407
