Medical Control

Medical control refers to the process where emergency medical responders and paramedics consult with a physician or medical authority, usually via radio, phone, or electronic communication, to obtain guidance on patient care. This helps ensure that treatments and interventions provided in emergency situations are appropriate and consistent with medical standards. It allows frontline responders to make informed decisions about administering medications, performing procedures, or modifying care plans based on expert advice. Overall, medical control helps improve patient outcomes by linking emergency responders with medical physicians for real-time support during urgent situations.
