Davis M, Lewell M, McLeod S, Dukelow A. A prospective evaluation of the utility of the prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram to change patient management in the emergency department. Prehosp. Emerg. Care 2013;18(June 2012):9-14. doi:10.3109/10903127.2013.825350. [PubMed] ● Reviewer: Mat Goebel, NREMT-P, MS1, UC San Diego School of Medicine ● Why is this important?: ECG changes occur during prehospital care that, if ignored, may delay later diagnosis in the emergency department. The prehospital ECG can affect many decisions about patient care. ● Limitations: Only half of eligible patients were enrolled in the study, though they still met targets for statistical power. This is a single study from one prehospital system, utilising two academic tertiary EDs.
