OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to describe the Longitudinal Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Attributes and Demographic Study (LEADS) design, instrument development, pilot testing, sampling procedures, and data collection methodology. Response rates are provided, along with results of follow-up surveys of non-responders (NRs) and a special survey of Emergency Medical Services (EMS)...
BACKGROUND The use of early morning sputum samples (EMS) to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) can result in treatment delay given the need for the patient to return to the clinic with the EMS, increasing the chance of patients being lost during their diagnostic workup. However, there is little evidence to support the superiority of EMS over spot sputum samples. In this new analysis of the REMoxTB stud...
OBJECTIVES The San Francisco Fire Department's (SFFD; San Francisco, California USA) Homeless Outreach and Medical Emergency (HOME) Team is the United States' first Emergency Medical Services (EMS)-based outreach effort using a specially trained paramedic to redirect frequent users of EMS to other types of services. The effectiveness of this program at reducing repeat use of emergency services ...
OBJECTIVE ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Emergency medical services (EMS) agencies play a critical role in its initial identification and treatment. We conducted this study to assess EMS management of STEMI care in the United States. METHODS A structured questionnaire was administered to leaders of EMS agenc...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS), a multisystemic disease induced by exposure to L-tryptophan, may result in serious CNS abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of neurologic characteristics, MR imaging abnormalities, and brain neurometabolites in EMS. METHODS Sixteen patients with EMS and CNS abnormalities (CNS-EMS) and 12 control subje...
INTRODUCTION Prior assessments of emergency medical services (EMS) stroke capacity found deficiencies in education and training, use of protocols and screening tools, and planning for the transport of patients. A 2001 survey of North Carolina EMS providers found many EMS systems lacked basic stroke services. Recent statewide efforts have sought to standardize and improve prehospital stroke care...
Roche's protease inhibitor nelfinavir mesylate (Viracept) produced between March 2007-June 2007 was found to contain elevated levels of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), a known mutagen (alkylator) - leading to a global recall of the drug. EMS levels in a daily dose (2,500 mg Viracept/day) were predicted not to exceed a dose of approximately 2.75 mg/day (approximately 0.055 mg/kg/day based on 50 kg...
As we reported previously, propagation of action potentials through surviving axons is impaired dramatically, resulting in reduced transmission to lumbar motoneurons after midthoracic lateral hemisection (HX) in rats. The aim of the present study was to evoke action potentials through the spared fibers using noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) over intact T2 vertebrae in an attempt to...
The National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Advisory Council (NEMSAC), formed in 2007, is a statutorily authorized federal advisory committee that provides advice to the US Department of Transportation and to the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS. The NEMSAC comprises 25 members representing different sectors of EMS, eg, Kenneth Miller, MD, PhD, represents the emergency medicine sector. Th...
OBJECTIVES The objective was to evaluate the effect of arrival to the emergency department (ED) by emergency medical services (EMS) on time to initiation of antibiotics, time to initiation of intravenous fluids (IVF), and in-hospital mortality in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. METHODS The authors performed an evaluation of prospectively collected registry data of patients with ...
