Just because I'm feeling nit picky, therapeutic hypothermia leads to better outcomes. Whether it has to be initiated prehospitally or in the ED is still up for debate.
Yeah, you're right. I stand corrected!

There is emperical evidence and/or limited prehospital scientific evidence to support most treatments provided by Ambulance for example
- Salbuatamol and adrenaline for asthma
- Glucagon and glucose for hypoglycaemia
- Aspirin and GTN for ischaemic chest pain
- Adrenaline and IV fluid for anaphylaxis
- IV fluids for hyperglycaemia/DKA/HONK
- Cardioversion for significantly compromising fast AF/VT/wide complex tachycardias
- Intravenous pain relief
- Midazolam for seizurese
Do you mean evidence that GTN may help to relieve pain or that it actually improves survival?
