So your patient is in OHCA, and you get ready to place an airway...ETI or SGA?? Do old habits die fast in EMS practice? Are we following evidence-based practice with our treatments? What are your thoughts on what you would do?
Among adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, initial use of supraglottic airway (#SGA) devices had a higher first-pass and final procedural success vs endotracheal intubation (#ETI) during emergency medical service care. ja.ma/4qOP08s

🚨 JUST IN: A 12-year-old girl who survived the Camp Mystic, Texas floods just sang a rendition of "Hallelujah" on Fox News this morning.
Amazing.

This study of 1.7M adult OHCA cases using NEMSIS data confirms that ETI remains the dominant airway strategy, 2018-2023, contrasting prior findings from smaller datasets. ja.ma/4ci6Meb @gagecb3
What drives EMS turnover? 1/3
We know job dissatisfaction is linked to EMS clinicians leaving the field—but which aspects matter most?
Our new study in Prehospital Emergency Care used the validated Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) to dig deeper.

2/3
EMS clinicians with higher satisfaction—especially with Pay, Promotion opportunities, Supervision, and Nature of work—were less likely to leave EMS within 12 months. Compared to dissatisfied clinicians, Ambivalent (65%) and Satisfied (89%) were less likely to leave

COVID-19 drastically changed everything—even how paramedics are trained. 🚨

The National EMS ID is one way to give an accurate count of #EMS clinicians. Being involved in the EMS Compact can also help to avoid double counts.
Still don’t know who is actually WORKING in #EMS. Literature by @gagecb3 & @NREMT does show some impending growth!

Replying to @gagecb3
@gagecb3 and @AshPanchalMD presenting on projected needs of the EMS workforce. Among other points, hard to even know true numbers of who is working in EMS!

How many & who is leaving the #EMS workforce? Anyone with degrees, urban, any service other than fire-based. Highest turnover is private EMS. Adjusted turnover is around 15%. @AshPanchalMD @gagecb3 @NREMT
#NAEMSP2025
So honored to talk at the @NAEMSP annual meeting with @AshPanchalMD on EMS Workforce
Christopher Gage retweeted
We really need to improve gender and racial gaps in EMT and paramedics.
Haven’t moved the needle over the past year.
80-90% white and ~80% male
How is your system?
