Prehospital diagnosis and management of supraventricular tachycardia – a scoping review
Despite substantial heterogeneity in the available literature on prehospital SVT, evidence suggests that diagnostic accuracy may affect both treatment efficacy and safety, highlighting the need for advances in this area. The adoption of modified VM as an initial treatment strategy may decrease unnecessary exposure to potentially higher-risk drugs and procedures. Treat-and-release protocols appear safe in selected patients and may help reduce emergency department admissions and associated healthcare costs.
