Article Synopsis
  • Emergency medical services (EMS) play a crucial role in caring for an increasing number of elderly patients, particularly those aged 65 and older.
  • A study conducted over a year looked at 385 patients to evaluate their outcomes and autonomy after receiving prehospital care, finding that the mortality rate within 24 hours was 9% and one-third regained their autonomy after three months.
  • Key factors affecting patient mortality included the initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, highlighting the importance of initial assessments in predicting outcomes for elderly patients treated by EMS.
