🚨In life or death #pediatric emergencies, there's no time for consent. ➡️ That’s where #EFIC—Exception from Informed Consent—comes in. 📱The Pedi-PART trial used EFIC + digital tools to ethically launch a #prehospital airway study with broad community support. Henry Wang

🚑 How do you get public input when studying critically ill kids in the field? With #EFIC, Pedi-PART went digital: Ads reached 3.4M people📝 Surveys showed 91% community support💡 Efficient, inclusive, and scalable Henry Wang Matt Hansen @PECARNTeam Prodigy EMS

#EFIC requires community input—but #EMS trials often struggle to reach enough people. Pedi-PART proved it’s possible: ✅ Wide reach ✅ Diverse voices ✅ Rapid + supportive responses Let’s rethink how we engage the public in emergency research 🧐 Henry Wang Matt Hansen

👶 Critically ill children can’t consent. Exemption from Informed Consent #EFIC allows vital #EMS trials to move forward—but only with community input. 🖥️ Pedi-PART's digital-first approach showed we can gather meaningful, ethical consent via modern tools. Henry Wang

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (#NRP) is the U.S. standard—but it's built for the hospital 🏥 #EMS needs context-specific training 👉🏼 this study piloted a virtual NRP-based course tailored just for EMS 🚑 ➡️ The curriculum is effective, scalable, and well-received, making

Most #EMS clinicians have limited exposure to newborn deliveries—and even less to resuscitating a neonate 👶🏾 There’s no standardized, EMS-friendly training nationwide 🚑 A new study is changing that 👉🏼 Read more about the #Virtual Neonatal Resuscitation Curriculum for EMS here:

🚨Drs. Trang Huynh & Matthew Hansen built a virtual neonatal resuscitation course specifically for #EMS ❌ Not hospital-based. ❌ Not lecture-heavy. ✅ Just practical, Neonatal Resuscitation Program-aligned skills tailored for the field. Matt Hansen PECARNteam #prehospital

📚 A recent study tested a virtual, #EMS-specific neonatal resuscitation course for out-of-hospital births—rare but high-risk events. Neonatal Resuscitation Program #NRP knowledge was tested 👇🏽 🧠 Pretest: 5.3/10 ⚡ Post-test: 8.6/10 📅 3-month follow-up: 6.9/10. 🚑98% of EMS

🚨 How do we prepare #EMS for adverse events in pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (#OHCA)? 📋 Researchers reviewed 659 pediatric OHCA cases, assessing safety events and agency factors like Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (#PECCs), training hours & protocol tools.

❌ Training hours: NOPE ❌ Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCs): NOPE ❌ Protocols: NOPE ✅ Young age: YEP A multi-agency study found that these #EMS factors did not reduce safety events and infants face highest risk. 🚨New strategies are urgently needed. Read more
