1 Prehospital s The MLREMS Prehospital s have been created to provide a simple framework to help EMS providers identify the most critical elements when caring for a patient. These bundles do not replace protocol, but are designed to assist quality assurance and performance evaluations as we work collectively to optimize the delivery of prehospital medicine. As the science and evidence changes, so will these care bundles. The New York State Collaborative Protocols and the MLREMS s are intended to improve patient care by prehospital providers. They reflect current evidence and the consensus of content matter experts. The Collaborative Protocols and the MLREMS Care Bundles are intended to provide principles and direction for the management of patients that are sufficiently flexible to accommodate the complexity of care in the prehospital environment. No Protocol or can be written to cover every situation that a provider may encounter, nor are they substitutes for the judgement and experience of the provider. Providers are expected to utilize their best clinical judgement to deliver care and procedures according to what is reasonable and prudent for specific situations. However, it is expected that any deviations from protocol shall be documented along with the rationale for such deviation. NO PROTOCOL OR CARE BUNDLE IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR SOUND CLINICAL JUDGEMENT.
2 Acute Coronary Syndrome Acute Coronary Syndrome Bundle At Patient to EKG Time ASA 324 mg chewed by mouth Serial EKG(s) 10 minutes or less At any time Serial 12-lead EMS EKG(s) STEMI Bundle At Patient to EKG Time ASA 324 mg chewed by mouth Serial EKG(s) Defib Pads 10 minutes or less Within 5 minutes of STEMI identification At any time 10 minutes or less Serial 12-lead EMS EKG(s) Applied to patients with identified STEMI At Patient to EKG Time Early field identification of an acute coronary syndrome should prompt EMS providers to obtain an EKG as soon as possible to identify a time-critical condition (STEMI). Receiving STEMI center notification within 5 minutes of STEMI identification provides early activation of the cardiac catheterization lab and mobilizes essential hospital resources prior to the arrival of the patient. Aspirin (ASA) 324 mg chewed by mouth Aspirin confers a reduction in mortality from acute coronary syndrome. Aspirin should be administered as soon as feasible but should not take precedent over expedient identification, prehospital notification, and initiating transport in the setting of a STEMI. If aspirin is contraindicated, documentation should indicate why. Patients with a STEMI should be expediently moved to a STEMI center with a goal on scene time of less than 10 minutes. Serial EKG(s) For all patients with a potential acute coronary syndrome, serial EMS EKG(s) are a best practice to evaluate for evidence of evolving ischemia. Defib Pads Patients experiencing a STEMI may be at high risk for dysrhythmia. Place pacing patches if the patient has transient wide complex tachycardia, hemodynamic instability, bradycardia < 50.
3 Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis Within 1 minute of patient contact Epinephrine Administration IM administration of 1mg/1ml epinephrine within 1 minute of identification Nebulized Bronchodilator Administration Administered if wheezing/respiratory involvement Large Bore Vascular Access 2 Large Bore (14 or 16 gauge preferred) IV s Antihistamine Administration Per protocol, as soon as feasible after epinephrine Glucocorticoid Administration Per protocol, as soon as feasible after epinephrine Fluid resuscitation given to maintain MAP >65 mmhg Early identification, based on history and physical examination, of patients with anaphylaxis is critical to facilitate life-saving treatments. Epinephrine Administration Epinephrine is the single most important intervention in treating anaphylaxis. In the setting of anaphylaxis there is no contraindication to administering 1 mg/1 ml epinephrine intramuscularly per protocol. Epinephrine counteracts the vasodilation and bronchoconstriction associated with anaphylactic shock, and reduces mortality. Nebulized Bronchodilator Administration If wheezing, the bronchodilatory properties of albuterol and anticholinergic effects of ipratropium reduce bronchoconstriction and inflammatory processes present in anaphylaxis. Large Bore Vascular Access Establishing large bore vascular access in a patient with anaphylaxis allows for efficient and rapid fluid resuscitation. Antihistamine Administration Reduces the intensity of anaphylactic symptoms by reversing the effects of histamine on capillaries and should be administered after epinephrine. Glucocorticoid Administration (Dexamethasone) May reduce the recurrence of secondary anaphylactic reactions in patients with anaphylaxis and should be administered after epinephrine. Early and aggressive fluid resuscitation in patients with suspected distributive shock due to anaphylaxis reduces morbidity and mortality.
4 Congestive Heart Failure Exacerbation Congestive Heart Failure Exacerbation Patient Positioning Supplemental Oxygen Aggressive Nitroglycerin EKG Sit the patient upright Administered per protocol Administered per protocol Prehospital respiratory rate and EtCO 2 monitoring 12-lead EKG obtained Congestive Heart Failure: Severe Exacerbation Patient Positioning CPAP Aggressive Nitroglycerin EKG Sit the patient upright Administered per protocol Administered per protocol Prehospital respiratory rate and EtCO 2 monitoring 12-lead EKG obtained Patient Positioning Sitting the patient upright allows for the most efficacious oxygenation. Supplemental Oxygen/CPAP Supplemental oxygen in a congestive heart failure exacerbation should be provided to the patient per protocol to maintain an oxygen saturation of > 92%. In the setting of severe exacerbation, CPAP is used to increase intrathoracic pressure and drive pulmonary edema from the lungs. Aggressive Nitroglycerin Will reduce the left ventricular filling pressures through vasodilatory mechanisms. Will also lower systemic vascular resistance in hopes of increasing cardiac stroke volume and cardiac output. Monitoring airway, ventilation, and oxygenation is a best practice in any patient with an active CHF exacerbation. EKG Cardiac ischemia or infarction is a leading cause of congestive heart failure and subsequent exacerbation.
5 Cerebrovascular Accident Cerebrovascular Accident Cincinnati Stroke Scale Time Last Known Well Blood Glucose Surrogate Contact Information Within 5 minutes of patient contact Obtained during initial assessment and documented Obtained and documented; green stroke sticker applied 10 minutes or less Within 5 minutes of identification Obtained and documented Obtained and documented; green stroke sticker applied Early identification of patients with suspected stroke is critical to facilitate focused evaluation and minimizing on scene time. Cincinnati Stroke Scale The Cincinnati Stroke Scale is expected to be performed and documented when assessing for evidence of a stroke. A positive scale is constituted by one or more positive finding(s): pronator drift, facial droop, or slurred speech. Time Last Known Well The most critical piece of information that determines a stroke patient s eligibility for treatment is the time last known well. This time must be clearly communicated upon transfer of care and documented in the medical record. The green stroke sticker aids in communicating this information to hospital providers. Patients with a stroke should be expediently moved to a stroke center with a goal on scene time of less than 10 minutes. Prehospital notification should be completed on all patients with a last known well time of <6 hours and mobilizes essential hospital resources prior to the arrival of the patient. Blood Glucose A blood glucose should be performed on all potential stroke patients to exclude symptomatic hypoglycemia as an etiology of the patient s presentation. Determination of blood glucose should not significantly delay scene time. Surrogate Contact Information A piece of critical information for the treatment team is having reliable contact information for a surrogate (witness) to help make treatment determinations. The green stroke sticker aids in communicating this information to hospital providers.
6 Pain Management Pain Management Initial pain score Non-pharmacological pain management Reassessment of pain scale Pharmacological pain management Reassessment of pain scale Reassessment Obtain and document initial pain score Perform and document interventions (positioning, heat/ice applied, splinting, etc.) before providing pharmacologic analgesia Reassess and document pain scale after performing nonpharmacological interventions Consider if pain remains > 4 or there is a < 3 point reduction in pain after non-pharmacological interventions Reassess and document pain scale after performing pharmacological interventions Reassess and document non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions and intervene or re-dose Initial Pain Score Obtain and document an initial quantitative pain score to guide appropriate interventions for pain management. Non-Pharmacological Pain Management Patient positioning, applying ice/heat, splinting, and therapeutic communication are first line interventions for management of acute pain and should precede the administration of any prehospital medications for pain. Reassessment of Pain Scale Should be completed after intervening with non-pharmacological measures. Adequate analgesia is achieved after a 3 point reduction in pain (on a 10 point scale) or a pain score of 4 or less is achieved. Pharmacological Pain Management May be considered to control acute pain in the setting of ineffective nonpharmacological interventions. Reassessment Should be completed after non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions to evaluate the need for additional interventions or re-dosing of medications.
7 Post-Intubation Management Post-Intubation Management Elevate Head of Bed Analgesia Sedation Orogastric Tube Head of bed at 30 degrees Monitoring and ventilation with EtCO 2 target of mmhg Administered if required per protocol Administered if required per protocol Placed unless contraindicated Elevate Head of Bed In the absence of the need for spinal motion restriction, an intubated patient should have the head of the bed elevated to 30 degrees. This position will prevent the risk of aspiration, and in cases of suspected intracranial hemorrhage, will help manage intracranial pressure. Applied to the endotracheal tube to confirm correct placement; ventilating to a target of mmhg to ensure adequate ventilation and reduce risk of hyperventilation. Analgesia If evidence of pain or discomfort, analgesia should be the first line intervention, re-dosed per protocol, and continually reassessed to ensure adequate analgesia. Sedation If evidence of inadequate analgesia despite proper dosing, and if evidence of movement or ventilator dyssynchrony that impedes effective ventilation, sedation should be administered, redosed per protocol, and continually reassessed to optimize ventilation. Orogastric Tube Placed to provide gastric decompression, enhance lung compliance, and decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia provided there are no contraindications.
8 Seizure Seizure Safe space Benzodiazepine Administration Blood Glucose Temperature Ensure a safe environment for any patient with active convulsions Administer midazolam within 2 minutes of identification Prehospital respiratory rate and EtCO 2 monitoring Obtained and documented Document tactile or measured temperature Safe Space Creating a safe space for any patient with active convulsions prevents further injury to the patient. Benzodiazepine Administration Intramuscular administration of a benzodiazepine (midazolam) is a priority in any patient with active convulsions and is the most effective route of administration. Subsequent doses may be administered via intravenous route; however, IM provides for the fastest time to drug effect. Monitoring airway, ventilation, and oxygenation is a best practice in any patient with active convulsions. This monitoring is also best practice in any post-ictal patient that has not yet returned to their baseline mental status. Blood Glucose Should be checked to treat for hypoglycemia, a reversible cause of seizure. Administration of benzodiazepines takes priority and blood glucose determination should be made after the first dose of benzodiazepine administration. Temperature Febrile seizures are the most common cause of seizure in the pediatric population and any patient who is (or was) actively convulsing should have a documented temperature whether it be measured by a device, or ascertained by palpating the skin.
9 Systemic Infection Systemic Infection Bundle Temperature Large Bore Vascular Access Within 5 minutes of patient contact Prehospital respiratory rate and EtCO 2 monitoring Document tactile or measured temperature 2 Large Bore (14 or 16 gauge preferred) IV s Initiation of crystalloid fluid resuscitation Early identification and subsequent management of patients with suspected sepsis or septic shock reduces morbidity and mortality. Tachypnea is the earliest vital sign indicative of critical illness and an EtCO 2 of <25 mmhg correlates with serum lactic acidosis which provides evidence of sepis. Temperature Patients with evidence of systemic infectious illness should have a documented temperature whether it be measured by a device, or ascertained by palpating the skin. Large Bore IV Access Establishing large bore (14 or 16 gauge) IV s allows for the most efficient fluid resuscitation in patients with suspected sepsis or septic shock. Early and aggressive fluid resuscitation in patients with suspected sepsis or septic shock reduces morbidity and mortality.
10 Major Trauma Major Trauma Spinal Motion Restriction Large Bore Vascular Access Temperature Management 10 minutes or less Within 5 minutes of identification Performed when indicated 2 Large Bore (14 or 16 gauge preferred) IVs Fluid resuscitation given to maintain MAP >65 mmhg Maintain normal body temperature Patients with major trauma should be expediently moved to a Level 1 Trauma Center for definitive surgical evaluation and management with a goal on scene time of less than 10 minutes. In cases of extrication, the on scene time goal should be less than 10 minutes from the time of a successful patient extrication. Receiving trauma center notification within 5 minutes of identifying a patient with major trauma provides early activation of trauma teams and mobilizes essential hospital resources prior to the arrival of the patient. Spinal Motion Restriction Spinal motion restriction should be performed when indicated and documented when not. In the setting of major trauma, long back boards may be indicated to provide spinal motion restriction and limit on scene time. Large Bore Vascular Access Establishing large bore vascular access in a trauma patient allows for efficient and rapid fluid resuscitation. Fluid resuscitation is indicated only in patients with hypotension. Aggressive fluid resuscitation should be given to maintain a MAP >65 mmhg. Temperature Management Victims of trauma rapidly lose body heat, which leads to hypothermia, coagulopathy, and increased mortality. Active and passive warming measures are indicated in all cases of major trauma to maintain body temperature.
