Abstract Introduction Early recognition of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can increase the patient’s likelihood survival. As first point contact for patients accessing medical care through emergency services, dispatchers (EMDs) represent earliest potential identification AMIs. The objective study was to determine how AMI cases were coded and prioritized at dispatch point, also describe distribution these by patient age gender. Hypothesis/Problem No studies currently exist that EMD’s...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency automatic external defibrillator (AED) retrieval and placement by bystander callers when prompted an Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD). Methods: This retrospective descriptive utilized a convenience sample emergency dispatch data collected from 23 Communication Centers (ECCs) spanning 14 states across United States (U.S.) July 11, 2014 August 13, 2018, including all cases in which EMD recorded any response AED availability...
Objective: Chest pain is one of the most common reasons people seek emergency care—and critical. In United States, chest second reason for department (ED) visits. A patient's primary complaint "chest pain" may reflect a broad range underlying causes; therefore, it important that medical service (EMS) agencies gain thorough understanding these cases, beginning with initial management in 9-1-1 center. The objective this study was to compare hospital-confirmed patient discharge diagnoses all...
Abstract Introduction Implementation of high-quality, dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) is critical to improving survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, despite some studies demonstrating the use a metronome in stand-alone setting, no research has yet demonstrated effectiveness tool DA-CPR context realistic 911 call or using instructions that have been tested real-world emergency calls. Hypothesis Use will increase proportion callers able...

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus, although a chronic disease, also can cause acute, sudden symptoms requiring emergency intervention. In these cases, Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs) must identify true diabetic complaints in order to determine the correct care. 911 systems utilizing Priority Dispatch System (MPDS), International Academies of Dispatch-certified EMDs patient's chief complaint by matching caller's response an initial pre-scripted question one 37 possible protocols....
407 Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare and aggressive cancer, with most patients presenting at an advanced stage few treatment options. In the past decade, number of clinical trials available to CCA has increased significantly. Recent for FGFR2 IDH1 inhibitors showed significant improvement in patients’ overall survival progression-free led approval three new targeted therapies over last year half. Unfortunately, small percentage were eligible this treatment. As standard limited...
OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Emergency (911) dispatchers are the first link in chain of care for estimated 240 million emergency calls made each year. Yet even as medicine, public safety, and health have seen increasing study, dispatch has very seldom been included that research. Part reason is that, while medicine connected with hospital physicians university departments, largely invisible, not represented programs, staffed by professionals without research training–and often higher education...
