Podcast 825: ALS vs PD Transport

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • In urban settings, it is becoming more common for police to transport critical patients from scene to hospital
  • A 2022 multicenter observational study compared mortality rates in patients with penetrating injury to torso and/or proximal extremity when transported by EMS versus police
    • Approximately 18% of patients were transported by police
    • Overall mortality was approximately 15% in both groups
    • In patients with more severe injury, mortality was still similar at approximately 36% and 38% respectively
