Abstract

Abstract:

A novel coronavirus that emerged in late 2019 has rapidly spread around the world. Pre-hospital emergency care is currently serving as the front line for initial detection, management, evaluation, and transport of COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, the emergency staff is presently facing unprecedented challenges. This article analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on the pre-hospital emergency system and summarizes the experience of prevention and control, with an aim to provide reference for the reform of emergency medical system and the formulation of infection prevention strategies by the full-time staff under the normal epidemic prevention and control.

Key words: COVID-19, Pre-hospital emergency, Epidemic prevention and control
