    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the use of a color-only method syringe for accuracy and timeliness when administrating midazolam. This method was compared with a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved validation method.
    Methods: A prospective, randomized, crossover trial was conducted to compare the dosing accuracy and timeliness of the color-only syringe method versus the validation method. Twenty-five participants prepared pediatric midazolam doses according to their preferred method, a FDA-approved validation method, and a color-only method. Primary endpoints included dosing accuracy and time to medication administration.
    Results: The preferred 3-kg calculations had a median margin of error of 5.6% and a median time to completion of 55.6 seconds. The color-only method took less time to complete than the validation method (median time: 29.5 seconds vs 58.2 seconds). There was no statistically significant difference in errors between the color-only method and the validation method. None of the participants reported a mistake using the color-only method, whereas 25% (5/20) reported a mistake using the validation method. Only 20% (4/20) of participants believed that the validation method found or eliminated any mistakes. There were 8 medication errors identified when participants used the method of choice, 4 with the validation method, and 1 with the color-only method.
    Conclusions: There was no significant difference in dosing errors between the FDA-approved validation method and the color-only method. Use of a color-only method did reduced time to medication administration when compared with a preferred method and an FDA-approved validation method.

    Abstract This case study represented a patient with a relatively uncomplicated myocardial infarction that, after prompt prehospital care and transport, was successfully halted in the emergency department with fibrinolytic therapy. This patient was provided excellent care in the prehospital setting because the paramedic and his EMT-B partner worked together effectively as a team. Although ECG monitoring, IV therapy and medication administration are beyond the usual scope of practice of an EMTB, many EMS systems are training their EMT-Bs to assist with these important procedures and interventions. This involves preparing IV equipment and supplies, applying the cardiac monitor, and recognizing and handling the various paramedic medications. This enhanced role of the EMT-B allows the paramedic to perform a more focused and careful patient assessment. A cohesive working relationship between BLS and ALS personnel is absolutely crucial to the outcome of the patient. Although each level of prehospital provider possesses a different knowledge of pathophysiology and patient management, it is the combined contributions and efforts of each provider that will afford patients the high quality of care they deserve.

    Abstract Introduction: Airway compromise is the third most common cause of preventable battlefield death. Surgical cricothyroidotomy (SC) is recommended by Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines when basic airway maneuvers fail. This is a descriptive analysis of the decision-making process of prehospital emergency providers to perform certain airway interventions.
    Methods: We conducted a scenario-based survey using two sequential video clips of an explosive injury event. The answers were used to conduct descriptive analyses and multivariable logistic regression models to estimate the association between the choice of intervention and training factors.
    Results: There were 254 respondents in the survey, 176 (69%) of them were civilians and 78 (31%) were military personnel. Military providers were more likely to complete TCCC certification (odds ratio [OR]: 13.1; confidence interval [CI]: 6.4-26.6; P-value < 0.001). The SC was the most frequently chosen intervention after each clip (29.92% and 22.10%, respectively). TCCC-certified providers were more likely to choose SC after viewing the two clips (OR: 1.9; CI: 1.2-3.2; P-value: 0.009), even after controlling for relevant factors (OR: 2.3; CI: 1.1-4.8; P-value: 0.033).
    Conclusions: Military providers had a greater propensity to be certified in TCCC, which was found to increase their likelihood to choose the SC in early prehospital emergency airway management.

    Abstract Assessment and management of the newborn is a very rapid sequence of events. Unlike adult resuscitation, where the goal is to "restore" the breathing and perfusion that they once had, the goal of resuscitating a newborn is to "initiate" effective breathing and perfusion. It is of paramount importance for prehospital care providers to be prepared to handle these critical cases in an expedient manner. The vast majority of newborns breathe spontaneously at delivery or very shortly thereafter, with little intervention required by EMS; however, EMS providers should always be mentally and physically prepared to assist a struggling newborn.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy of health care participants completing a simulation-based blended learning training curriculum on managing maternal medical emergencies and maternal cardiac arrest (Obstetric Life Support).
    Methods: A formative assessment of the Obstetric Life Support curriculum was performed with a prehospital cohort comprising emergency medical services professionals and a hospital-based cohort comprising health care professionals who work primarily in hospital or urgent care settings and respond to maternal medical emergencies. The training consisted of self-guided precourse work and an instructor-led simulation course using a customized low-fidelity simulator. Baseline and postcourse assessments included multiple-choice cognitive test, self-efficacy questionnaire, and graded Megacode assessment of the team leader. Megacode scores and pass rates were analyzed descriptively. Pre- and post-self-confidence assessments were compared with an exact binomial test, and cognitive scores were compared with generalized linear mixed models.
    Results: The training was offered to 88 participants between December 2019 and November 2021. Eighty-five participants consented to participation; 77 participants completed the training over eight sessions. At baseline, fewer than half of participants were able to achieve a passing score on the cognitive assessment as determined by the expert panel. After the course, mean cognitive assessment scores improved by 13 points, from 69.4% at baseline to 82.4% after the course (95% CI 10.9-15.1, P <.001). Megacode scores averaged 90.7±6.4%. The Megacode pass rate was 96.1%. There were significant improvements in participant self-efficacy, and the majority of participants (92.6%) agreed or strongly agreed that the course met its educational objectives.
    Conclusion: After completing a simulation-based blended learning program focused on managing maternal cardiac arrest using a customized low-fidelity simulator, most participants achieved a defensible passing Megacode score and significantly improved their knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy.
