Abstract: Objective To explore the importance of pre hospital emergency care for patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 85 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage transferred by ambulance were considered as the observation group and 51 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage transferred by family members were considered as the control group.Patients in observation group were given first aid at the scene,transit and hospital,and patients in control group were given first aid after admission in hospital.Effective transit time,complications,and mortality were compared between the two groups.Results Effective transit time was shorter in observation group than in control group [(0.92±0.17) h vs.(1.31±0.39) h,t=8.05,P＜0.001].The complication incidence was lower in observation group than in control group (14.12％ vs.47.06％,x2 =17.77,P＜0.001).The mortality rate was lower in observation group than in control group (15.29 ％ vs.37.25 ％,x2 =8.54,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Pre-hospital emergency care could shorten the effective transit time,reduce the complication incidence and improve the survival rate in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage
