Le mot «pré-hospitaliers» contenu dans cette appellation devrait s'écrire «préhospitaliers». En français, les mots composés avec le préfixe «pré» s'écrivent en un mot et ne sont jamais suivis du trait d'union, même devant une voyelle. Le mot «pré-salé» est une exception. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%89tude%20ontarienne%20sur%20les%20soins%20pr%C3%A9%2Dhospitaliers%20avanc%C3%A9s%20de%20maintien%20des%20fonctions%20vitales
