For paramedics, click HERE for CAPCE credits! Every day, EMS encounters patients in crisis from opioid use disorder. Communities rely upon EMS to be the safety net and also the bridge and connection for patients to receive appropriate care.  EMS is moving itself into a new area of influence where we collaborate with community resources as the frontline providers. We have the opportunity to save lives and do a tremendous amount of good with patients who use drugs.  In this podcast, PEC podcast hosts, Dr. Greg Muller and Dr. Maia Dorsett discuss the crucial roles of EMS in addiction medicine with the PEC manuscript: Prehospital Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder by Paramedics: First Year Results of the EMS Buprenorphine Use Pilot with guest authors Gene Herne MD & Andrew Herring MD Click here to download it today!

  Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! In this PEC Podcast Deep Dive, Rebecca Cash and Maia Dorsett interview Dr. Tony Fernandez about his recent PEC paper comparing initial prehospital adenosine doses of 6 mg versus 12 mg for presumed SVT. We explore the study’s origins, dataset design, and results—including the finding that starting with 12 mg was associated with higher rates of cardioversion and fewer redoses without an increase in complications. Along the way, we discuss the quirks of EMS data, why some “standard” practices exist without strong evidence, and how retrospective studies fit into the bigger picture of protocol change. For those whose interest in study methods was piqued, here’s a great short primer on odds ratios versus relative risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWtzaKYFg00&t=175s Featured Article Fernandez, A.

  Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! Today, we're tackling a critical and often deadly emergency seen at mass gatherings like music festivals: psychostimulant-induced hyperthermia (PIH). This condition carries high mortality rates, but what if early, aggressive intervention could dramatically improve outcomes? Join us as we discuss the paper, "Physician Directed Prehospital Treatment in Psychostimulant Induced Hyperthermia: A Case Series," with one of its lead authors, Dr. Dorothy Habrat. Dr. Habrat will share insights into their physician-directed prehospital guideline, which integrates on-scene sedation, intubation, and rapid ice-water submersion for severe hyperthermia patients at electronic dance music festivals in San Bernardino County, California. Discover how this innovative guideline, incorporating ice-water immersion before transport, offers a significant potential to decrease the mortality risk of PIH in the prehospital setting and achieve neurologically intact survival.

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this special crossover episode with the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice.

Today, host Rachel Stemerman sits down with two authors of a groundbreaking paper: Ira Harmon and Jennifer Fishe. Their research tackles a significant challenge in emergency medical services: accurately identifying prehospital pediatric asthma exacerbations from complex EMS data. Asthma exacerbations are a common reason for pediatric EMS encounters. Accurately identifying these encounters is crucial for research and quality improvement in prehospital care. However, the nature of asthma symptoms and EMS data makes this difficult. In this episode, Ira and Jennifer will discuss their study, which focused on developing computable phenotypes (CPs) – reusable computer queries that identify specific clinical events using electronic data. They evaluated existing rule-based CPs and developed new ones, including machine learning-based models, using a large dataset of pediatric EMS encounters.

Cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting continues to be a critical area of focus for EMS clinicians, especially when it comes to measuring ventilation and perfusion. In this episode, we’ll do a deep dive on new research investigating the role of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) as a potential indicator of survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The study looks at how both high and low ETCO2 levels affect mortality and why these numbers alone may not be enough to guide resuscitation decisions.
