Ken,

That is an excellent suggestion. I believe we have several members of =
this list
with current military affiliations. Perhaps they will be able to obtain =
and
share, or urge their colleagues to do so. I think all of us, as we =
develop
clinical expertise, realize that we need less technology and data, and =
develop
pattern recognition techniques to help us make our evaluations of =
patients in
urgent situations. If this knowledge base has been distilled and made =
more
usable, especially in some way that can be quantified and compared with =
prior
techniques, it could propel EMS forward dramatically.

I would STRONGLY suggest that we obtain some of the data coming out of =
Iraq from
the military medics.   I understand that they are using a field primary =
survey
totally different from previous wars, and from our current civilian =
evaluations.
I have heard that BP machines are not carried by special forces medics.  =
  I
think they are developing some interesting data with its evidence based =
outcomes
components. =20
