Paramedic-Administered Fibrinolysis in Older Patients with Prehospital ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
This study was the first that investigated the effectiveness and safety of paramedic-administered fibrinolysis in older patients with STEMI. No intracranial or major non-intracranial hemorrhage was recorded for the study sample. There was no association between prehospital fibrinolysis and mortality or functional outcomes.
