From Science to the Scene

Are your prehospital airway choices based on outdated tradition or true patient outcomes? In this episode of From Science to the Scene, host Chris Gage breaks down a ground-breaking evidence-based guideline that is reshaping how every Clinician approaches the airway. Discover why basic bag-valve-mask ventilation remains the core foundation of care and learn why supraglottic airways are often the smarter choice over endotracheal int...

What do you think is the most common injury leading to preventable death in civilian public mass shooting events? Many individuals might guess severe extremity bleeding, but the data tells a different story. 

On this episode of From Science to the Scene, Dr. Ash Panchal breaks down a critical study that every EMS Clinician needs to understand. The research looks closely at autopsy reports to find out what causes potenti...

Are you ready to transform how you approach trauma care on your next shift? 
In the latest episode of From Science to the Scene, Jacob unpacks how a single medication serves as a versatile powerhouse for pain management, procedural sedation, airway induction, and acute agitation. This discussion dives deep into the clinical utility and helps to shatter historical myths, noting that ketamine is safe for patients with head an...

Did you know that layperson-administered naloxone (LAN) increased by over 43% in just two years? This week on From Science to the Scene, Jacob Kamholz discusses a major study that uses national EMS data to track how often the public intervenes during an overdose, before EMS arrives. While overall naloxone administration by EMS Clinicians actually decreased 6% over this period, the rise in LAN supports public health efforts and over...

Should a Clinician "stay and play" or "load and go?" This question is at the heart of the latest episode of the From Science to the Scene podcast.

Our Research Fellow, Kayla Riel, joins the show to dive into a study that challenges old habits. For a long time, the common thought was that a fast trip to the hospital was the best chance for a patient in cardiac arrest. However, the latest data from the Journal of the American ...

Are you ready to dive into the latest evidence on trauma care? In our fourth episode of "From Science to the Scene," we break down the STAAMP trial to see if pre-hospital administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) truly improves survival for patients at risk for hemorrhage. While the study found that pre-hospital TXA did not significantly lower the overall 30-day mortality rate, the data revealed critical benefits for specific groups....

In this episode, National Registry Research Fellow Jacob Kamholz explores a national study on how pain is managed in the field. The research analyzed over 35,000 EMS records of adult patients with confirmed long bone fractures. By linking EMS data with hospital diagnoses, researchers were able to precisely identify the injuries treated by each Clinician.
The study utilized the CDC Social Vulnerability Index to account for factor...

We all know the rush of flipping on the lights and sirens. It feels like we’re flying, but have you ever wondered if that "fast" ride is actually a dangerous gamble?

In this episode of From Science to the Scene, the National Registry Research Team dives into a massive study of over 19 million EMS calls. Host Chris Gage breaks down the math on whether "driving hot" actually helps or just hurts.

The Shocking Stats...

How do we transform a mountain of complex medical literature into actionable care at the patient side? In the debut episode of our new research podcast, Research Director Ash Panchal and Research Fellow Chris Gage introduce a streamlined way for the entire EMS community to stay informed. Whether you are a frontline Clinician, a Medical Director, or a State Official, staying current with evidence-based guidelines is essential to mak...
