Paramedicine Literature Search

To help paramedicine professionals to keep abreast of the literature in our discipline, the Paramedicine Literature Search provides the results of a standardized search of the PubMed database.These search results will include articles from journals that many paramedicine professionals may already be familiar with.The search strategy is also designed to include articles in journals they may not be commonly monitoring, such an article about ambulance care for cancer patients that appeared in an oncology journal.The formatting of the Paramedicine Literature Search allows the reader to scan the titles of articles and click into the article link, when provided, for additional details.The authors have made a diligent effort in designing of the search strategy to balance sensitivity (i.e., getting all relevant articles in paramedicine) with the specificity (i.e., excluding articles not relevant to paramedicine).The balance is imperfect.As a result, it should be noted that the results do not include every relevant article and includes some non-relevant articles.The search strategy is filtered to only include articles published in a time frame listed below.This will include articles with electronic and print publication dates in that date range.
