From Science to the Scene

Welcome To From Science To The Scene

Produced by the National Registry’s Research Team, From Science to the Scene brings clarity to the most important evidence shaping EMS. Drawing from the curated reading lists hosted by the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium (PGC), influential work from organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA), and even our own peer‑reviewed research, we break down high‑level science into practical insights for Clinicians and leaders. As EMS Research Fellow Chris Gage puts it, “Our mission is to filter the constant influx of new research into what actually matters for you and your patients."

Episode 3: Pain Management

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 factors like income and education levels within different communities. Researchers examined whether the administration of pain medication varied across different patient groups while controlling for age, injury location, and transport time. This methodology ensures a comprehensive look at how care is delivered in various environments.
