The EMS Modified Early Warning Score (EMEWS): A simple count of vital signs as a predictor of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

ConclusionsEMEWS showed a similar ability to predict EMS-witnessed cardiac arrest compared to MEWS-T, despite being significantly simpler to compute. Further study is needed to evaluate whether the implementation of EMEWS can aid EMS clinicians in anticipating and preventing OHCA.PMID:33794729 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2021.1908464
