The Impact of Transportation Mode on ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Reperfusion Time and Survival
Our findings are consistent with existing literature, highlighting the role of EMS in reducing door-to-ECG and D2B times. The higher frequency of CPR in EMS-transported patients indicates the severity of their condition upon arrival, further emphasizing the importance of prehospital emergency care in optimizing outcomes.
