Sažetak

There is growing evidence that early detection and response to physiological deterioration can improve outcome for
patients. Working out-of-hospital, we often find ourselves in diagnostic dilemmas, thus more reliable data could change
our actions as well as give better assessment of patient's condition. Therefore, we are always exploring new perspectives
that could be transferred from experimental laboratory settings to our primary working area in the field to help us improve
decision-making leading to better outcome. In the following sections, we represent our previous studies about the utility
of continuous capnometry and the importance of point-of-care ultrasound in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and discuss
about the possible future use of transthoracic and transesophageal ultrasound, point-of-care biochemical monitoring,
tissue oxygen saturation, pupillometry, and mixed and central venous oxygen saturation monitoring in the prehospital setting.
