Are you ready to transform how you approach trauma care on your next shift?  In the latest episode of From Science to the Scene, Jacob unpacks how a single medication serves as a versatile powerhouse for pain management, procedural sedation, airway induction, and acute agitation. This discussion dives deep into the clinical utility and helps to shatter historical myths, noting that ketamine is saf...

Did you know that layperson-administered naloxone (LAN) increased by over 43% in just two years? This week on From Science to the Scene, Jacob Kamholz discusses a major study that uses national EMS data to track how often the public intervenes during an overdose, before EMS arrives. While overall naloxone administration by EMS Clinicians actually decreased 6% over this period, the rise in LAN supp...

Should a Clinician "stay and play" or "load and go?" This question is at the heart of the latest episode of the From Science to the Scene podcast. Our Research Fellow, Kayla Riel, joins the show to dive into a study that challenges old habits. For a long time, the common thought was that a fast trip to the hospital was the best chance for a patient in cardiac arrest. However, t...

Are you ready to dive into the latest evidence on trauma care? In our fourth episode of "From Science to the Scene," we break down the STAAMP trial to see if pre-hospital administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) truly improves survival for patients at risk for hemorrhage. While the study found that pre-hospital TXA did not significantly lower the overall 30-day mortality rate, the data re...

In this episode, National Registry Research Fellow Jacob Kamholz explores a national study on how pain is managed in the field. The research analyzed over 35,000 EMS records of adult patients with confirmed long bone fractures. By linking EMS data with hospital diagnoses, researchers were able to precisely identify the injuries treated by each Clinician. The study utilized the CDC Social Vulnerabi...

We all know the rush of flipping on the lights and sirens. It feels like we’re flying, but have you ever wondered if that "fast" ride is actually a dangerous gamble? In this episode of From Science to the Scene, the National Registry Research Team dives into a massive study of over 19 million EMS calls. Host Chris Gage breaks down the math on whether "driving hot" actually help...

How do we transform a mountain of complex medical literature into actionable care at the patient side? In the debut episode of our new research podcast, Research Director Ash Panchal and Research Fellow Chris Gage introduce a streamlined way for the entire EMS community to stay informed. Whether you are a frontline Clinician, a Medical Director, or a State Official, staying current with evidence-b...
