Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically review evidence that supports best practice post-crash response emergency care.
Study design: The research questions to achieve the study objective were developed using the Patient, Intervention, Control, Outcome standard following which a systematic literature review (SLR) of research related to prehospital post-road-crash was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: A total of 89 papers were included in the analysis, presented according to the PRISMA guidelines.
Conclusions: This research explored and identified key insights related to emergency care post-road-crash response. The findings showed that interservice coordination and shared understanding of roles was recommended. Application of traditional practice of the "Golden Hour" has been explored and contested as a standard for all care. Notwithstanding this, timeliness of provision of care remains important to certain patient groups suffering certain injury types and is supported as part of a trauma system approach for patient care.
