❌ Training hours: NOPE ❌ Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCs): NOPE ❌ Protocols: NOPE ✅ Young age: YEP A multi-agency study found that these #EMS factors did not reduce safety events and infants face highest risk. 🚨New strategies are urgently needed.

🚨 How do we prepare #EMS for adverse events in pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (#OHCA)? 📋 Researchers reviewed 659 pediatric OHCA cases, assessing safety events and agency factors like Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (#PECCs), training hours & protocol tools. 📊 Result: While no link was found between these factors, but they did find younger ages to be a risk. Do we need extra training for the very young? 🧐 Read more about this study here 👇🏽 tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10… @MattHansenMD @PECARNteam #prehospital @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL

📚 A recent study tested a virtual, #EMS-specific neonatal resuscitation course for out-of-hospital births—rare but high-risk events. Neonatal Resuscitation Program #NRP knowledge was tested 👇🏽 🧠 Pretest: 5.3/10 ⚡ Post-test: 8.6/10 📅 3-month follow-up: 6.9/10. 🚑98% of EMS clinicians said it filled a critical training gap @MattHansenMD @PECARNteam #prehospital @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL Learn more about the EMS-specific curriculum here: #abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10…

🚨Drs. Trang Huynh & Matthew Hansen built a virtual neonatal resuscitation course specifically for #EMS ❌ Not hospital-based. ❌ Not lecture-heavy. ✅ Just practical, Neonatal Resuscitation Program-aligned skills tailored for the field. @MattHansenMD @PECARNteam #prehospital @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL 👉🏼 Read more about this curriculum here: tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10…

Most #EMS clinicians have limited exposure to newborn deliveries—and even less to resuscitating a neonate 👶🏾 There’s no standardized, EMS-friendly training nationwide 🚑 A new study is changing that 👉🏼 Read more about the #Virtual Neonatal Resuscitation Curriculum for EMS here: tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10… @MattHansenMD @PECARNteam #prehospital @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (#NRP) is the U.S. standard—but it's built for the hospital 🏥 #EMS needs context-specific training 👉🏼 this study piloted a virtual NRP-based course tailored just for EMS 🚑 ➡️ The curriculum is effective, scalable, and well-received, making it a promising candidate for standardized EMS neonatal training nationwide @MattHansenMD @PECARNteam #prehospital @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL 📖 Read more about it here: tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10…

👶 Critically ill children can’t consent. Exemption from Informed Consent #EFIC allows vital #EMS trials to move forward—but only with community input. 🖥️ Pedi-PART's digital-first approach showed we can gather meaningful, ethical consent via modern tools. @henrywangmd @MattHansenMD @PECARNTeam @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL Read more about community engagement for this #pediatric #prehospital #airway resuscitation trial here 👇🏽 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#EFIC requires community input—but #EMS trials often struggle to reach enough people. Pedi-PART proved it’s possible: ✅ Wide reach ✅ Diverse voices ✅ Rapid + supportive responses Let’s rethink how we engage the public in emergency research 🧐 @henrywangmd @MattHansenMD @PECARNTeam @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL Read more about Exception from Informed Consent #EFIC and community engagement here 👇🏽 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚑 How do you get public input when studying critically ill kids in the field? With #EFIC, Pedi-PART went digital: Ads reached 3.4M people📝 Surveys showed 91% community support💡 Efficient, inclusive, and scalable @henrywangmd @MattHansenMD @PECARNTeam @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL Read more about community engagement for this #pediatric #prehospital #airway resuscitation trial here 👇🏽 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨In life or death #pediatric emergencies, there's no time for consent. ➡️ That’s where #EFIC—Exception from Informed Consent—comes in. 📱The Pedi-PART trial used EFIC + digital tools to ethically launch a #prehospital airway study with broad community support. @henrywangmd @MattHansenMD @PECARNTeam @ProdigyEMS @JEMSConnect @EMSWorldOFCL #PediatricEMS #EMS Read more about this study here 👇🏽 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Airway management in kids is rare - but when it’s needed, it’s complex. This national dataset provides a clear takeaway: 👉🏼 Low frequency, low first-pass success 🚨We need better data, training, and preparation for these critical calls. ➡️ shorturl.at/7rHMp

📊 In nearly half of 2,500 ketamine-involved seizure calls, ketamine was the only med — no airway, no midazolam, no diazepam. 🚨That’s a clear signal: we need to look at ketamine in prehospital seizures ➡️ Read more here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39058382/

👶🏾 Pediatric airway management is rare - but critical. In over 7 million EMS activations, only 5.9 in 10,000 involved advanced airway management for kids. 🚨 Are we training enough for high-acuity, low frequency scenarios? ➡️ Read more here: tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/10…

🚑 Ketamine’s unique pharmacology makes it a promising tool for benzo-resistant seizures - but prehospital data is limited. 👇🏽This study shows what EMS is already doing. Now it’s time to evaluate outcomes, refine protocols, and train accordingly. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39058382/
