摘要

救护车延误，即救护车将到达急诊科的病人转移到急诊科治疗空间并将护理移交给急诊科临床医生的延误，是澳大利亚所有州和地区以及新西兰的一个问题。它是急诊科过度拥挤和通道阻塞的症状，并与某些患者群体的不良健康结果有关。问题出现了，谁可能在法律上负责照顾那些被困的病人，他们的地理位置重要吗？简短的回答是“每个人”和“没有”，但是，是否会出现违反义务的情况取决于回应的合理性和资源分配的考虑。

Patient care on the ramp: Who is legally responsible?

Ambulance ramping, the delay to transfer of a patient arriving at an ED by ambulance into an ED treatment space and handover of care to ED clinicians, is a problem in all Australian states and territories and New Zealand. It is a symptom of ED overcrowding and access block and has been associated with adverse health outcomes for some patient groups. The questions arise, who might be legally responsible for the care of patients who are ramped and does their physical location matter? The short answers are 'everyone' and 'no', however, whether there will be a breach of duty depends on the reasonableness of responses and resource allocation considerations.
