The coroner’s concerns

S are as follows : 5.1 I believe there is a lack of guidance and/or protocols on what constitutes best practice on this issue for paramedics and/or ambulance staff which might place future patients at risk in similar situations. In particular, how long should resuscitation continue for and when should a patient be taken to hospital for thrombolysis. 6 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you (and/or your organisation) have the power to take such action . 7 YOUR RESPONSE You are under a duty to respond to this report within 56 days of the date of this report, namely by 15.10.23 . I, the coroner, may extend the period.
