Performance of Norwegian civilian EMTs and army medics in penetrating trauma: a controlled simulation-based assessment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients' difficulties following critical illness and the willingness of intensive care units (ICU) to take an expanded responsibility during the recovery period have led to the development of different follow-up programs. The aim of this study was to explore and describe patients' participation in and evalu...
