Naast het verlenen van medisch specialistische zorg wordt er pre-hospitaal ook wetenschappelijk onderzoek verricht.
Binnen de pre-hospitale zorg wordt naast acute medische hulpverlening ook wetenschappelijk onderzoek verricht om behandelingen en protocollen te verbeteren. Recente studies richten zich op onder andere intraveneuze lidocaïne bij intubatie, de impact van Point-of-Care echografie en de behandeling van pediatrische spoedgevallen door HEMS. Daarnaast is onderzoek gedaan naar video-laryngoscopie, intracraniële druk en de invloed van ambulancebewegingen op patiëntuitkomsten. Deze inzichten dragen bij aan innovatie en optimalisatie binnen de spoedeisende geneeskunde.
