Abstract

[Extract] We are concerned that a recent report announced that the Queensland Ambulance Service now treats patients with hypertension caused by Irukandji syndrome with sublingual glyceryl trinitrate, based on an uncontrolled, unrandomised, unblended "trial" of three patients. We believe the authors have made the justification for such treatment on questionable assumptions.
