dc.description.abstractAim: It is aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Pre-Hospital Emergency Health Services (PHEMS) staff about the treat and release criteria in hypoglycemia cases and their attitudes in the decision-making processes related to hospitalization. Materials and Methods: The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 714 paramedics working in PHEMS in Turkey. A survey developed in Microsoft Forms, which includes various features such as age, gender, years of professional experience, developed in line with the literature, and questions covering treat and release in hypoglycemia cases and absolute hospital transport criteria, was used in the collection of data. Participants who agreed to participate in the study answered the online survey. Findings: Of the 714 participants, 402 (56.30%) were female and 312 (43.70%) were male. 598 (83.75%) of the participants, who had a dilemma regarding the transfer of hypoglycemia cases that became stable after treatment to the hospital, decide to transfer the patient to the emergency room. 706 (98.88%) reported that the presence of another emergency that needs intervention in addition to hypoglycemia was decisive in the decision to transfer to the absolute hospital, and 586 (82.07%) reported that the patient's who did not return to his normal mental state after emergency medical intervention was decisive in the treatment and release decision. Conclusion: PHEMS employees have high knowledge and awareness related to treat and release criteria in hypoglycemia cases with which they have high experience. PHEMS employee, who has a dilemma related to making a treat and release decision, decides to transfer to the hospital with a high rate. PHEMS systems should define the treat and release protocols for hypoglycemia cases more clearly in order to use emergency services and health resources effectively. © 2023 Elsevier Ltden_US
