Repeat 9-1-1 Calls and Clinical Outcomes of Children After Non-Transport by Emergency Medical Services

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to determine the rate of repeat 9-1-1 calls and subsequent transport to the emergency department within 72 hours for children not transported by emergency medical services (EMS). They found that only 1% of these children had a repeat call resulting in transport, with rare occurrences of hospitalization and death, suggesting that pediatric non-transport protocols may be safe and effective. Additionally, certain demographic and clinical factors were associated with the likelihood of repeat calls and transport.
