CADTH
Record ID 32015000261
English
Authors' recommendations:
Little evidence on the clinical effectiveness and safety regarding treat and release (T &R) performed by paramedics at the scene was reported. No cost effectiveness was found to compare T & R protocols with treat and transfer or treat and refer protocols. No evidence-based clinical practice guidelines on T & R were identified. Therefore, well-designed studies are needed to determine the clinical effectiveness and safety regarding T & R protocols performed by EMS personnel at the scene.
