Description
Introduction: Ambulance services are becoming a trend for early response
to emergencies in major cities. The performance of the ambulance service
will increase in line with the population and possible problems in the area.
EMS services are essential at this time, as any life-threatening condition
requires immediate action to prevent disability and death. Ambulances are
needed to provide assurance to chronically ill patients that the service they
provide is adequate and that they can handle them in case of deterioration.
This study aims to describe the frequency of pre-hospital ambulance use
in patients with chronic diseases.
Methods: This research method used an observational study with a
retrospective approach to find the frequency of emergency ambulance use
by chronic diseases during the period 2019-2021.
Results: The results showed that the three highest cases of pre-hospital
ambulance use in Denpasar City were accident, fire, and evacuation
services for sick patients. Chronic disease has become one of the most
common patients using the ambulance service. Chronic patients include
heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, arthritis,
asthma, chronic renal failure, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease
are the three most common chronic diseases that use pre-hospital
ambulance services.
Conclusion: The use of prehospital ambulances for chronic diseases has not
reached half of the ambulance services. The government, through related
agencies, should conduct socialization so that there is an increase in the
use of pre-hospital ambulance services by the community.
