ST-T segment changes in prehospital emergency physicians in the field: a prospective observational trial

CONCLUSION: ECG changes are frequent and occur in most healthy prehospital emergency physicians. Even when occurring for less than 30 s, such changes are important signs for high levels of stress. The long-term impact of these changes needs further investigation. Trial registration The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04003883) on 1.7.2019: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04003883?term=emergency+physician&rank=2.PMID:35841049 | DOI:10.1186/s13049-022-01033-1
