History of EMS Research
Modern EMS systems developed following the 1966 publication of a National
Academy of Sciences paper entitled Accidental
Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society29
and the work of J.F. Pantridge extending emergency cardiac care to the prehospital
setting in the United Kingdom.30
Dr. Pantridge’s program in Northern Ireland inspired the pioneering efforts
of physicians such as Eugene Nagel in Miami and Leonard Cobb in Seattle
to extend emergency cardiac care to the patient’s home.31,32
