High diagnostic yield supports mobile unit use for suspected arrhythmias; observational data leaves open effects on outcomes.
Observational (n=180)
Yes
Atrial fibrillation and sinus tachycardia are the most frequently diagnosed arrhythmias in prehospital emergency settings, with distinct age and ischemia-related patterns.
Masalar et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Suspected arrhythmia or conduction abnormalities (n=180). Prehospital emergency evaluation was evaluated on Diagnosis of rhythm and conduction abnormalities. Among patients evaluated in mobile emergency units for suspected rhythm disturbances, 92.78% had a confirmed arrhythmia, most commonly atrial fibrillation (25%) and sinus tachycardia (21.11%).
