In some settings, limited access to the patient, morbid injuries, etc, advanced paramedice capability this 'could' be effective. However, I find little evidence of this improving neurological outcome in urban areas with trauma centers with resources that vastly outresouce EMS capabilities...on-site trauma surgeons, trauma nurses, all the ancillary services, blood products, invasive procedures, diagnosits. Granted CPR en-route sucks, but I think this 'protocol' is a far way from gaining serious ground. Thoughts?
