Summary
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.
