Prehospital antibiotics in the ambulance for sepsis: a multicentre, open label, randomised trial

This Dutch Randomised Controlled Trial (n=2698) found that ceftriaxone 200mg IV delivered in the ambulance did not improve 28 day mortality vs antibiotics initiated in the emergency department (ED) (8% vs 8%). It found that personnel training reduced the time to antibiotics delivered after arrival in the ED.
