Infrequent Out-of-Hospital Endotracheal Intubation May Not Maintain Proficiency
The number of out-of-hospital endotracheal intubation (ETI) procedures performed by individual rescuers is small, suggesting that rescuers may not be getting enough practice to maintain adequate skill, Pennsylvania researchers report. | |

Geographic Location Important when Applying Traumatic CPR Guidelines
NAEMSP and the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT) developed a set of guidelines, based on a review of currently available literature, to assist EMS personnel in triaging traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest patients prior to transport to the hospital.

| EMS Fast Fact Since 2000, more than 10 percent of the helicopters serving as air ambulances have crashed, killing 60 patients on their way to U.S. hospitals. If airlines lost a similar percentage of planes, 90 passenger jets would crash every year. -USA Today | |
