Preplanned participation of paramedics in end-of-life care at home: A retrospective cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Integration of paramedics into end-of-life care at home is reasonable especially in rural areas without 24/7 palliative care services and outside of office hours. The majority of patients can be managed at home or with the help of an end-of-life care ward without an emergency visit.
