PURPOSE: We analysed the prehospital care and property of field triage for quality improvement.
METHODS
A retrospective study of 623 case who were selected every five other day(1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26) and visited emergency center of Hangang Sacred Heart hospital by 119 rescuer from January 2002 to December 2003 was made using triage and management at field and during transport. The research compared 119 transport chart with emergency medical recording.
RESULTS
There were 350 male(56.2%) and 273 female(43.8%). Non-triage patient were 432 cases(69.3%). Finding from the crosstabulation analysis between 119 transport chart and emergency medical record reveal that 93 cases were overstimated, and 23 cases were understimated in mental status evaluation by 119 rescuer. Adequate prehospital treatment were 151 cases.
