Exploring Saudi paramedics’ experiences in managing adult trauma cases: a qualitative study

Saudi paramedics face numerous challenges while providing care for adult trauma patients affecting their care but little is known about these specific challenges.

A total of 20 paramedics were recruited and interviewed. They identified challenges in trauma response, including coordinating care, ensuring the accuracy and accessibility of patient information, and maintaining confidence and readiness. Participants emphasized the need for independent knowledge acquisition through courses, simulations, and peer discussions. They also highlighted the need for more paramedics, strategies to reduce burnout, and the importance of accurately assessing patient conditions. Additionally, they also stressed the importance of raising public awareness to enhance trauma care
