Documenting the timing and organisation of @entity130 resuscitation can be utilised to assess performance standards, and to ensure a high quality of @entity130 resuscitation procedures. Since there is no European literature available on @entity130 resuscitation time (TRT) in the emergency room, the aim of this descriptive study is to evaluate TRT in the Netherlands. The introduction of an ATLS-trained prehospital mobile medical team ( @entity569 ) in the Nijmegen area initiated the on-site advanced @entity130 life-support for the prehospital management of @entity130 @entity1 . We studied TRT in two groups of @entity1 , one with, the other without on-site care by a @entity569 . In the emergency room the use of videotape recording was chosen to document @entity130 resuscitation (22 actions) and TRT. A specially flow-chart was used to define the TRT-procedures. We studied 43 @entity1 ; 27 without @entity569 treatment and 16 with @entity569 treatment. The activities were divided into the ABCDE's of @entity130 care. Significant more @entity1 of the @entity569 group were intubated before arrival in the hospital (12/16 (75%) versus 2/27 (2%), P<0.05). Eleven definitive airway management interventions (intubation) and one thoracic drainage in the non- @entity569 group were demanded by the protocol, but not performed before arrival in the hospital. Sixteen out of 22 actions that were documented were carried out at an earlier stage in the @entity569 group. There was no significant difference between the resuscitation times; in both groups the recorded median time was approximately 43 min. This prospective analysis demonstrates the timing of resuscitation procedures in a resuscitation room and provides some insight into the timing of ATLS initial assessment.
