Ambulance blood tests may keep patients home safely
NCT ID NCT07503470
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving ambulance crews a portable blood test machine helps them decide if a patient really needs to go to the hospital. About 1,500 adults who would normally be taken in will be included. Half the ambulances will use the tests; the other half will provide standard care. The goal is to see if the tests can safely reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
