Prehospital management and outcomes of patients calling with chest pain as the main complaint
Nearly all patients calling with chest pain were referred for treatment. Among ambulance-transported patients, around half of the patients did not have a cardiovascular/pulmonary disease. While current practices appear reasonable, improved differentiation of chest pain patients in telephone consultations could potentially both improve the treatment and management of these patients and reduce the in-hospital burden of non-acute chest pain consultations.
