Then a few minutes later the paramedics arrived to provide more definitive care such as defibrillation.

Over the years, these organizations trained hundreds of thousands of people in the elements of providing assistance until definitive care could be arranged.

The CSH is capable of providing definitive care for many cases.

The "Golden Hour" is the time from the point of injury to the receiving of definitive care.

The fundamental philosophy of this model is to bring physician-centred definitive care to the patient, rather than bringing the patient to the care.

This gradually evolved into primary on-site resuscitation than rapid transport to definitive care in a hospital.

Transfer from field care to definitive care, where oxygen use can be carefully calibrated, typically occurs long before significant reductions to the respiratory drive.

Those trained to perform first aid can act within the bounds of the knowledge they have, whilst awaiting the next level of definitive care.

Treatment can also be continued en-route to a hospital if more definitive care for the patient is required.

The training in these courses assumed that definitive care was nearby and could be delivered quickly.
