Paramedics’ CPR Interventions: Bridging the Gap from Accident Scene to Pre-Hospital Emergency Care

Abstract

Cardiac arrest following trauma or sudden collapse at an accident site remains one of the most time-sensitive medical emergencies. Paramedics are the first medical professionals to intervene, providing immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that can make the difference between life and death. This paper explores the critical role of paramedics in delivering effective CPR from the accident location through pre-hospital emergency care, focusing on assessment, airway management, defibrillation, and post-resuscitation stabilization.

The discussion emphasizes pre-hospital chain of survival, integration with emergency dispatch, coordination with hospital teams, and the challenges of performing high-quality CPR in non-clinical environments such as roadways or disaster sites. Through effective training, the use of mechanical CPR devices, and adherence to evidence-based guidelines, paramedics bridge the life-saving gap between accident occurrence and hospital care. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of continuous professional development, multidisciplinary collaboration, and technology-enhanced monitoring in improving pre-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes.
