EMS response to infectious disease outbreaks
Prehospital preparedness and intervention
Bibliographic Data
Background: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) often originate from wildlife, with zoonotic transmissions, such as those causing pandemic influenza, Ebola, and COVID-19. Ecological disruptions, including deforestation and land-use changes, have heightened the risk of these diseases by increasing human contact with wildlife. Aim: The aim of this article is to examine emergency medical services (EMS), paramedics, and nursing preparedness and intervention strategies during infectious disease outbreaks. Methods: Methods include analyzing zoonotic spillover factors and reviewing prevention strategies under the One Health framework. Results: The findings reveal that efforts to prevent zoonotic spillover are minimal, with most attention focused on post-spillover measures like vaccine development and healthcare response. Results suggest that a comprehensive approach, including forest conservation, biosecurity in animal husbandry, and regulating wildlife markets, can reduce the risk of future outbreaks. Conclusion: It concludes that true prevention requires addressing the root causes of zoonotic transmission, enhancing community-driven initiatives, and improving biosecurity to mitigate spillover risk
