Supports telemetry-facilitated transfer for shorter STEMI thrombolysis times; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.
Does collaborative decision-making based on prehospital 12-lead ECG telemetry reduce symptom-to-thrombolysis time in patients with STEMI?
Prehospital 12-lead ECG telemetry with collaborative decision-making between paramedics and CCU nurses substantially reduces symptom-to-thrombolysis time in STEMI patients.
