Abstract
We confronted some of the most prevalent prehospital misconceptions with the available literature. We found that: the diminution of a retrosternal pain following nitrate administration is not predictive of a cardiac origin of the pain ; survival of traumatic cardiac arrest may not be as bad as usually believed ; peripheral venous administration of vasopressors through proximal catheters during short times may be considered as a safe temporary alternative to central venous access ; using the pulse palpation usually lead to an under-estimation of the systolic blood pressure ; applying a pelvic belt at the level of the iliac crests doesn't aggravate an open-book fracture; there is no 90 mmHg threshold values below which mortality increases in traumatic brain injuries.
