To my EMS friends - It is exciting that our first @NAEMSP president, Dr. Ron Stewart, was awarded the Companion of the Order of Canada. In the history of Canada, only about 500 people have ever had this honor. An amazing honor for an EMS physician!
When the @GeisingerEM residents suggest faculty and residents wear costumes for the procudure labs on Halloween
Spot on. The American culture has left us with ambulances of dark colors, some with wildlife and other photos, ambulances that look like health system billboards, and cute pediatric designs that look like kindergarten projects. Uniqueness over safety. The U.K. has it right.
Interesting perspectives in regard to ambulance appearance and safety considerations. Thoughts?? #EMS #ambulance ems1.com/research/artic…
Having spent my career researching and teaching about this, these rates of failire to use seatbelts by EMS clinicians in thr patient compartment and failure to properly restrain patients with shoulder straps are sad. Be safe out there! @NAEMSP @NAEMT_ @NASEMSO @amerambassoc
Another super #EMS research poster at @EMSWorldOFCL examining the termination of resuscitation of children. Important, but requires caring and sensitivity to help family heal. Will Cebulskie, @rpcrowe, Danielle DeCesare, Jeffrey Rollman, Lynne Singleton, Casey Smith, Lynn White
Great presentation on initiation of CPR in rural vs urban environments by @agtischer and @mo_cares . @PCRF and @ESO supported many early career researchers at this year's @EMSWorldOFCL conference.
Super job by @NAEMSP EMS physicians (Drs. Jason McMullen and Woods Curry) presenting keynote address at @EMSWorldOFCL on topic of handling on scene cardiac arrest at football and other athletic events! @UCEmergencyEMS @nmrs244
Thanks to @MarionRenault for helping to educate the public and spread the word about the dangers of unnecessary lights and siren use in EMS. L&S is like any other medical intervention- administer only if the time saved will help the patient, otherwise it may be harmful. @NAEMSP
When it comes to flashing, wailing ambulances, “it’s engrained in our DNA” says @MTaigman “How do you know it’s an emergency vehicle? Look for the lights.” Research is now forcing EMS to rethink the iconic tool's universal use. 🚨 My latest for @statnews statnews.com/2023/07/07/emt…
This is practice changing for those performing intubation. Auscultation of lung sounds and other clinical signs do not reliably exclude esophageal intubation. Do not use them for this purpose. Waveform capnography exhibiting sustained exhaled EtCO2 is required.
🔓Very important clinical and statistical paper! Clinical tests/signs lack the discriminatory power to exclude oesophageal intubation. Do not use them.

As we look to the future of #EMS we know that 75% of fire dept volume is EMS calls, but 75% of EMS calls are not done by fire services. We need to create dialogue about where we live at the Federal level without attacking each other. All EMS service models need a voice!
Actual call data from a #geriatric fall patient. Falls are increasing in most systems but we need to do better with our responses @DrDougKupas @NAEMT_ @NAEMSP #eaglesgather23
If arrival at the ER door is "Time 0" & antibiotics within 60 min has mortality and morbidity benefits, than giving them prehospital ("sub-zero") can help even more. Cefazolin is cheap and easy to carry, as well as effective for most infections and wounds. #EaglesGather23
.@DrDougKupas & @Talisman6912 are both discussing the benefits or #EMS antibiotics for wounds & open fractures. This is another time-sensitive illness that we should own. ACS 2015 recommendation was to start w/in 60min of hospital arrival. But why not before? #EaglesGather23
It's always a pleasure when this esteemed group allows me to join them. And it's an honor to advocate for EMS physicians, EMS systems, and our patients. @NAEMSP
Informing legislators of our core values to move the subspecialty of #EMSMedicine forward is fundamentally a patient advocacy endeavor. Thank you to all who participated in @NAEMSP Govt Relations Academy this year.
I wholeheartedly concur!
I'm very fortunate to work with and learn from such an amazing leader and advocate for the EMS profession. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, @bmyersmd!
A great time with these central PA paramedics/ @GeisingerCwlth medical students doing #EMS research in Austin. 3 days, and they leave with 3 abstracts. Next @pcrfatucla / ESO @ESO research summit is in Sept - deadline for applications is June 16. @GeisingerEM
This Access to AEDs Bill will make school sports and other activities safer for victims of cardiac arrest. Many thanks to @HamlinIsland and @murphyjensen for sharing their stories and advocating for this legislation sponsored by @CongresswomanSC .
“The Access to AEDs Act will help ensure that schools are just as prepared and trained to respond in a time of crisis as those on the sideline of an NFL game.” Thank you to @HamlinIsland and @CongresswomanSC for this life-saving bill.
Congratulations, Brooke!!
The Ronald D. Stewart Award honors a person who has made a lasting, major contribution to the national EMS community. Congratulations to @brooke_lerner!
Happy to have the opportunity to help reinforce the importance of bystander CPR, public access AEDs, and a well-trained EMS response to maximize survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
