4. When do you need the evidence report?
Wed, 01/01/2025
5. What will you do with the evidence report?
The evidence report could serve as the basis for creation of a prehospital guideline related to prehospital pediatric emergencies, as was previously successfully accomplished for prehospital airway management and prehospital pain management.
