Post-ROSC #epinephrine was not assoc. with ⬆️ odds of prehospital #rearrest compared to #norepinephrine in a 'target trial emulation' study (n=1,893; aOR: 0.93 [0.72, 1.21]). We addressed limitations of prior studies, including drug/rearrest temporality. resuscitationjournal.com/art…

Two new TO-1 manuscripts have been published! 🚨

PCRF is grateful to NAEMSP for recognizing us with their Friends of EMS Award. We congratulate all the researchers and partners who make this work possible! #NAEMSP2026 #PCRF #EMSResearch

Featured at #NAEMSP2026: Susan Burnett presented her paper “Documentation of Weight in Pediatric 9-1-1 Responses with Administration of Weight-Based Medications,” highlighting an important patient safety issue in pediatric EMS care. Congratulations, Susan!

Refractory ventricular fibrillation can be predicted amidst chest compressions during cardiac arrest resuscitation using artificial intelligence @pmjboyle @NickJohnsonMD #Epeeps doi.org/10.1161/CIRCEP.125.0…

Today marked an important step forward in US resuscitation science! The Center for Resuscitation Medicine’s MMRC completed the first Helicopter EMS–facilitated extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in the United States!

I wrote something. These are my stories. I imagine many of you have your own. My hope is this valid representation of the weight we carry.

Awesome research and check out his thread from today on pacing, a great read. Give Josh a follow, he is a great educator

Great thread All prehospital clinicians need to be aware of this

Great thread!

Transcutaneous pacing (TCP) is an intervention for unstable bradycardia. Electrical stimulus is provided ~1/s to increase heart rate. With transvenous pacers and chronotropic meds, TCP is mostly limited to the prehospital setting and low-resource centers. We suck at TCP. 🧵

Four EMS agencies contributed 299 patients who received transcutaneous pacing. Continuous ECG obtained from cardiac monitors revealed that only 29 (9.7%) patients had sustained electrical capture, and ~75% NEVER had electrical capture! authors.elsevier.com/a/1mMpS…

DIFOCCULT-3 RCT shows that an #AI-assisted ECG interpretation accelerates NSTEMI-OMI detection by several hours and hints at improved short-term outcomes! #TCT2025 @AslangerE @PMcardioApp

Defib pad placement is important. Positioning them correctly can double someone’s chance of survival. Side A is correct. The key difference is that the pad on the left hand side of the chest has been placed on the side of the rib cage, closer to the armpit.

#AED use in private homes improves survival after #CardiacArrest with shockable rhythm but does not improve outcomes for nonshockable rhythm. General AED purchase for homes is not cost-effective at current pricing. #RESUS25 @ERC_resus ja.ma/4hnO8nK

The myth that will not die (hint: prevalence = 0) 1. Treat dangerous hypoglycemia immediately. Do not wait for thiamine or anything else. 2. Have a low threshold to treat patients at risk for Wernicke's with IV thiamine. doi.org/10.1111/acem.70131

Thanks to Drs Jenna White and Chris Zahn for talking with us about the ACOG EMS guidelines for treatment of women wtih preeclampsia, eclampsia, and postpartum hemorrhage! youtu.be/tRmN6VDLzXk

Finally, self-guided robotic intubation. I guess we'll have to figure out something to do with all these airway skills we've accumulated. science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

The PACT study is at 1900 enrollments today! 🥳

🎧 A must-listen for EMS and emergency care professionals: ESO Principal Research Scientist, Dr. Tony Fernandez, joined the Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast to discuss Adenosine dosing in patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a common type of arrhythmia. Learn how EMS clinicians saw 12mg was more effective in real-world practice over the standard 6mg. 🎙️ Listen to the podcast: apple.co/4po4Mr5 📖 Read the study: bit.ly/3JYcbNp #DataOnAMission
