According to a study published by the Clinical Nursing and Quality of Healthcare, prehospital care is critical in improving patient outcomes, particularly in time-sensitive emergencies such as trauma, cardiac failure, stroke, bleeding, breathing difficulties, and systemic infections.

There is an urgent need to adapt clinical research methodology to the context of prehospital care.
