Drs. Lowe and Curcio from Columbus, OH presenting on using objective behavioral agitation score, medications dosed and selected based on this objective score, and continuous monitoring of usage and quality assurance. #NAEMSP2026
Agitation is a frequent and complex patient presentation in prehospital emergency care. @mgauschehill leads a discussion on LA County’s multidisciplinary to improve the evolving landscape of behavioral health response. #NAEMSP2026
Always one of our favorite annual sessions, and #NAEMSP2026 was no different. Take these papers presented by @ColwellMD & share them with your #EMS clinical leadership AND your trauma centers! Trauma care doesn’t start in the trauma bay, it’s starts with #EMS.
For all my #EMS folks still on here who are unaware, @NAEMSP has published a series of evidence based guidelines for trauma care, the trauma compendium. This editorial team worked hard to get these published and were recognized with the President’s award @JLyngEMSMD#NAEMSP2026
#EMS refusals are a high-risk area, often the result of multiple system pressures, possibly reflective of poor protocols, training, or medical direction oversight. One main area of risk comes down to the capacity determination. #NAEMSP2026@srjattorney@GradyMED1

The results of #DOSE-VF by @DrCheskes et al. (@NEJM 2022) affirm this practice.

@HandtevyMD@DrCheskes Excellent blog…look at how long it took AHA to abandon MONA despite studies for decades show MON was either not effective & some cases harmful. Only A was any real chance at benefit in non-hypoxic MI.
Amio yes, Lido no, oh wait well maybe….
