Pre- and post-training questionnaires and assessments were conducted on study subjects to measure trauma-related knowledge, problem-solving skills, and performance confidence. The collected data were SPSS/WIN 21.0 used frequency, percentage, and corresponding sample t tests. The results of the study were 4.34 points to 5.82 (p<.001) in post-training trauma-related knowledge; Problem-solving skills improved from 3.15 to 3.24(p=.033) and performance confidence from 5.55 to 7.78 (p<.001).

This study aimed at evaluating and developing 119 emergency medical technicians' prehospital care for non-traumatic cardiac arrest. Total 322 EMT in Chungnam province and Daejeon city filled out the self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 for descriptive statistics. Among the 322 EMT, 309 (97%) and 169(53%) always or almost performed CPR and AED for nontraumatic cardiac arrest patient, respectively. Among the advanced EMT and nurse, IV were sometimes or not performed at 94.7% and medication including epinephrine which commonly used for survival of cardiac arrest were treated just at 9.3 % (14 person). The reason they did not perform each procedure for airway management, AED or IV was lack of manpower, limit of time or joggle of ambulance and legal restrictions. In conclusion, to increase survival rate of non-traumatic cardiac arrest in out-of-hospital, it is necessary to increase manpower, legal protection of EMS, establishment of standard operating procedure, practice for improvement technique and use of medication for ACLS.
