34Attempted Resuscitation No Transport
EMS resuscitative medical care provided at the scene of an emergency to a patient in
cardiac arrest which results in no transport to a hospital Emergency Department,
typically because the efforts to revive the patient are unsuccessful and the patient is
pronounced deceased at the scene.
Treatment and No Transport
EMS medical care provided at the scene of an emergency which results in no
transportation to a healthcare facility. This may be because the patient’s immediate acute
medical condition was resolved, and/or that the patient refused further medical care
and/or transportation to a hospital Emergency Department.
Treatment with Referral and No Transport
EMS medical care provided at the scene of an emergency which resolves the patient’s
immediate acute medical episode and results in no transportation to a healthcare facility,
but does result in the EMS provider advising the patient to seek future healthcare follow-
up with the appropriate medical practitioner.
