 The "Scoop and Run" is a method developed to deal with trauma, rather than strictly medical situations (e.g.cardiac or respiratory emergencies), however, this may be changing.Increasingly, research into the management of S-T segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) occurring outside of the hospital, or even inside community hospitals without their own PCI labs, suggests that time to treatment is a clinically significant factor in heart attacks, and that trauma patients may not be the only patients for whom 'load and go' is clinically appropriate.
