Pre-Hospital/EMS: Forward Products For First Responders

Pre-hospital emergency care is a vital part of the U.S. health care system: more than 800,000 emergency medical services (EMS) personnel treat almost 20 million patients with expenditures topping $6.75 billion annually. The ability of frontline first-responders to quickly assess and manage these patients while expediting their timely transport to hospitals is literally a life-or-death issue.
