In order to reduce rural highway traffic deaths, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has focused its efforts on various aspects of the EMS system, from injury prevention through rehabilitation. Yet motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death in the United States, with most fatalities occurring in rural areas. To improve survival from rural highway trauma, NHTSA decided to focus its efforts on the care that crash victims receive from bystanders and passersby before the arrival of EMS. The report describes the development of NHTSA's Bystander Care Program, an innovative approach to giving victims of rural highway trauma a better chance for survival. It describes the few actions that are most critical for survival from rural highway motor vehicle crashes; it explains what someone must learn in order to perform these actions; and it describes strategies for making the information widely available to people who may happen upon highway crashes. While the program was designed to address the problem of rural highway deaths, the bystander actions described here are equally relevant to injuries that occur in other settings.
