Abstract

While the initial minutes of acute emergencies significantly influence clinical outcomes, prehospital research often receives inadequate attention due to several challenges. Retrospective chart reviews carry the risk of incomplete and inaccurate data. Furthermore, prehospital intervention trials frequently encounter difficulties related to extensive training requirements, even during the planning phase. Consequently, we have implemented prospective research concepts involving additional paramedics and physicians directly at the scene during major emergency calls. Three concepts were used: (I) Paramedic field supervisor units, (II) a paramedic + physician field supervisor unit, (III) a special physician-based research car. This paper provides insights into our historical perspective, the current situation, and the lessons learned while overcoming certain barriers and using existing and novel facilitators. Our objective is to support other research groups with our experiences in their planning of upcoming prehospital trials.
