 Thus, minimal time is spent providing prehospital care (spine immobilization; "ABCs", i.e.ensure "a"irway, "b"reathing and "c"irculation; external bleeding control; endotracheal intubation) and the victim is transported as fast as possible to a trauma centre.The aim in "Scoop and Run" treatment is generally to transport the patient within ten minutes of arrival, hence the birth of the phrase, "the platinum ten minutes" (in addition to the "golden hour"), now commonly used in EMT training programs.
