Abstract
A river rescue unit was developed in Pittsburgh in March 1986. From its time of inception through December 31, 1987, the unit responded 572 times (325 times in 1987); this included 144 medical calls. Many of the other calls were police related, false alarms, routine patrols, or public service calls. We present a description of the service, type of training necessary, costs involved, and administrative aspects of running a marine emergency medical services system and its integration into an urban EMS system.
