How does the accuracy of paramedic-interpreted ECGs in the pre-hospital environment compare to those read by emergency physicians in a hospital setting?
Abstract
Paramedic-interpreted ECGs demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy similar to in-hospital readings by emergency physicians, especially when supported by transmission methods and prior ECGs. However, variations in performance can occur based on specific STEMI presentations.
