“Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome by Telemedically Supported Paramedics Compared With Physician-Based Treatment: A Prospective, Interventional, Multicenter Trial”
About: A study performed in Germany 2012 where 5 ambulances were telemedically equipped with video streaming gear among other things to make it possible for paramedics to treat Acute Coronary Syndrome. Part of the TemRas project in Germany.

“Feasibility of Telemedicine Under Ambulance Station Conditions”
About: Observational study to examine the use of telemedicine at ambulance stations in civil defence situations. Video consultation with a tele-EMS-physician will be used to treat patients in one group and for the other group telemedicine will not be used.

“Telemedical Support for Prehospital Emergency Medical Service (TEMS)”
About: Interventional study that was performed in Aachen, Germany. The purpose was to examine if the use of a telemedcine-EMS physician instead of on the scene was safe and feasible for non-life-threatening cases. The paramedics in the ambulance could talk to the EMS-physician via video and audio to diagnose and treat the patient. The telemedicine system was developed in the TemRas project.

“Prehospital Telemedical Emergency Management of Severely Injured Trauma Patients”
About: By identifying articles regarding prehospital trauma care and telemedicin 15 records were found. From this it was concluded that telemedical assistance via real-time telemetry systems, enabling video and audio conferencing between EMS staff and tele-emergency physicians, were associated with a higher treatment quality and a shorter time-to-treatment in invasive procedures.
