EMS Provider Input Sought on Federal EMS Workforce Project
EMS providers can offer direct input on the EMS Workforce for the 21st Century Project through a new project Web site and interactive blog. The blog will be an easy-to-use forum for providers to convey their thoughts about various issues facing emergency medical services.
EMS Role in the Hurricane Evacuation to Georgia
EMS responders in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, responded to the ripple effects of Hurricane Katrina as evacuees from New Orleans arrived in Georgia. As part of the largest airlift on United States soil, 1,381 evacuees arrived at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, in Marietta, Georgia, from September 1 to September 5.
Air Crews Play Important Role in Katrina Relocations, Rescues and Resupply
In the days before and after the hurricane hit, fixed-wing and rotor aircraft provided vital medical evacuations for Gulf Coast residents. Helicopters also took part in search and rescue missions, and they participated in levee repair and firefighting activities in New Orleans. Finally, helicopters also brought much-needed food, water and other supplies to communities that were otherwise cut off from outside assistance.
Ambulance Design: Stepping Out of Our "Box"
This year, two dynamic EMS organizations collaborated to form a design team for a concept ambulance that included EMS providers, engineers, manufacturers and, most notably, ambulance safety researcher Nadine Levick, MD. This design is now a reality. Here is an EMS chief's personal report.
Would You Financially Support an EMS Political Action Committee?
Many EMS providers believe that now, especially in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, that EMS needs a stronger voice in Washington with representation that speaks for field providers. Would you be willing to financially support a Political Action Committee formed to address this concern?

EMEDS Gets First Domestic Field Test After Katrina
A new mobile military hospital received its first domestic field test in Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina. About 90 National Guard troops from Kansas, Mississippi, Delaware and Alabama set up the hospital in two days on the grounds of Hancock Medical Center in Bay St. Louis.
Field Termination of Resuscitation Is Safe
It is becoming commonplace for EMS providers to terminate resuscitative efforts in non-traumatic cardiac arrest. Several studies have documented the effectiveness of this. In this study, researchers from Yale further demonstrate the safety of this practice.
The National EMS Research Strategic Plan
The National EMS Research Strategic Plan writing team, headed by Michael Sayre, MD, from Ohio State University, has published their recommendations for the future of EMS research. The plan priortizes clinical issues and system and medical science issues. The top priorities for clinical issues are airway ad breathing, cardiovascular disease and stroke, general medical, pediatrics, and trauma.
Epilepsy Foundation Offers EMS Guidance
Patients experiencing a seizure disorder may display a confusing variety of signs and symptoms, making it difficult for first responders to assess the patient's condition. Because of this, The Epilepsy Foundation is establishing a committee of medical professionals to review seizure-related protocols and develop a formal seizure recognition and management training module for first responders.
