Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested two different triage methods (TST and Sieve) to see which helps ambulance workers make faster and more accurate decisions during mass-casualty events. About 200 paramedics and students from French-speaking Switzerland took part in computer simulations with 34 injured patients each. The goal was to find out which method better identifies patients needing immediate care, which could improve emergency response in real disasters.
