National Assessment of Key Prehospital Stroke Care Practices and Their Association to Patient Characteristics
Emergency medical service (EMS) clinicians provide time-sensitive care for patients with suspected stroke. While model evidence-based guidelines (EBG) exist, there is limited research on national adoption. The objective was to describe nationwide care delivery for suspected stroke patients and measure associations between stroke care and patient characteristics.
Impact of Overturning Roe vs. Wade on Obstetric Emergencies in the Prehospital Setting
Prior studies have suggested the overturning of Roe vs Wade (oRvW) ruling would lead to disproportionate obstetric emergencies (OE) amongst minority, younger, and impoverished women. The purpose of this study was to describe OE incidents, associated factors, and compare incidents with differing state abortion access after RvW was overturned.
State-Level Helmet Use Laws, Helmet Use, and Head Injuries in EMS Patients Involved in Motorcycle Collisions
Motorcycle helmets save lives, reduce serious injuries, and reduce healthcare and other economic costs. Currently, 18 states have laws that require helmet use by motorcyclists ≥ 21 years of age. The objective of the study was to compare helmet use and head trauma in emergency medical services (EMS) patients involved in motorcycle collisions (MCC) in states with and without helmet use laws.
Comparison of Transported vs. non-Transported Hypoglycemic Patients in the Prehospital Setting
Prehospital patients presenting with hypoglycemia need immediate treatment. Recommendations influencing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) treatment and use of treat-and-release protocols for hypoglycemic patients have changed in recent years. Limited research exists on current national prehospital treatment and transport practices for hypoglycemic patients. The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics of transported and non-transported hypoglycemic patients and identify factors associated with transport of hypoglycemia patients.
