Emergency Medical Services Management of Bronchospasm in the United States: A Cross-Sectional Analysis and Nationwide Quality Assessment

Gregory A. Peters et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of prehospital management of bronchospasm by emergency medical services (EMS) in the US. The findings revealed important gaps in the prehospital care of suspected bronchospasm, particularly in the administration of medication in basic life support and advanced life support units, as well as the treatment of pediatric patients.

Out-of-Hospital Presentation and Management of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations in the United States: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Gregory A. Peters et al.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of EMS activations for asthma/COPD exacerbations in the US, including demographics, clinical features, and EMS response. A large nationwide sample from 2018 to 2019 was used, and the data showed that 5% of 9-1-1 activations were for asthma/COPD exacerbation. Most patients were adults, with a higher proportion of females in adult patients and males in pediatric patients. The majority of activations occurred in urban settings, and advanced life support units managed most cases. Inhaled bronchodilators and systemic corticosteroid therapy were commonly administered to patients.

A Statewide Study of the Epidemiology of Emergency Medical Services' Management of Pediatric Asthma

Jennifer N. Fishe et al.

Summary: This retrospective observational study in Florida analyzed EMS management of pediatric asthma exacerbations from 2011 to 2016, revealing a median age of 9 years and 49% African-American patients. Geospatial analysis identified 4 rural counties with disproportionate numbers of African-American patients. Adjusted logistic regression indicated that intravenous access and intravenous magnesium sulfate administration were strong predictors of receiving systemic corticosteroids from EMS, suggesting a more severe presentation.
