Abstract

There is continuing controversy over the use of Advanced Life Support (ALS) in the treatment of multisystem injury. In this study, performed to define the role of ALS in the management of motor vehicle accidents (MVA), 538 ambulance run reports (ARR) and hospital records of patients involved in MVA in South Carolina for 1983 were examined. Resuscitation and ALS in MVA appears to be beneficial in the treatment of multi- system trauma in a rural state.
