An Analysis of 24-Hour Survival Based on Arrival by Atypical Ground Transport Versus Ground Emergency Medical Services.

Objectives: Studies comparing police, privately owned vehicle (POV), and ground Emergency Medical Services (GEMS) trauma transports reveal mixed results. It remains unclear whether using nonstandard transport methods may be beneficial in the setting of certain injuries. We sought to determine 24-h survival after transport by police or POV when compared to GEMS.
