Abstract
An ongoing emergency medical care system involving paramedics and physicians at National Football League games is described. Medical converage was provided from three manned first aid stations in the stadium. During the 1978 football season 298 patients were seen by the medical team. Of those, 35 (11.75%) were sent to area hospitals. Two patients who sustained cardiac arrest were successfully resuscitated and eventually discharged home. There appeared to be a direct relationship between the recorded temperature during the game and the number of patients evaluated.Entities:
