Hydroxycobalamin and Rural Emergency Medical Services Cyanide Exposure Patients: A Cost Analysis

May 16, 2017 updated by: Katrina G. Ferguson, MaineHealth
The costs to a rural emergency medical services (EMS) system of a change from a traditional cyanide antidote kit to a kit containing hydroxocobalamin alone are currently unknown. The purpose of this study is to use current EMS data to calculate the costs to a rural EMS system associated with the adoption of a hydroxocobalamin protocol for the treatment of suspected cyanide exposure.
