    Abstract To provide guidance to medical providers, wilderness users, and travelers, the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel to develop evidence-based guidelines for treating water in situations where the potability of available water is not assured, including wilderness and international travel, areas impacted by disaster, and other areas without adequate sanitation. The guidelines present the available methods for reducing or eliminating microbiological contamination of water for individuals, groups, or households; evaluation of their effectiveness; and practical considerations. The evidence base includes both laboratory and clinical publications. The panel graded the recommendations based on the quality of supporting evidence and the balance between benefits and risks/burdens according to the criteria published by the American College of Chest Physicians.

    Abstract Objective: The California Emergency Medical Services Authority manages and deploys California Medical Assistance Teams (CAL-MAT) to disaster medical incidents in the state. This analysis reviews diagnoses for ambulatory medical visits at multiple wildland fire incident base camp field sites in California during the 2020 fire season.
    Methods: Clinical data without personal health information were extracted retrospectively from patient care records from all patients seen by a provider. Results were entered into Excel spreadsheets with calculation of summary statistics.
    Results: During the 2020 fire season, CAL-MAT teams deployed 21 times for a total of 327 days to base camps supporting large fire incidents and cared for 1756 patients. Impacts of heat and environmental smoke are a constant factor near wildfires; however, our most common medical problem was rhus dermatitis (54.5%) due to poison oak. All 2020 medical missions were further complicated by prevention and management of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
    Conclusions: There is very little literature regarding the acute medical needs facing responders fighting wildland fires. Ninety-five percent of clinical conditions presenting to a field medical team at the wildfire incident base camp during a severe fire season in California can be managed by small teams operating in field tents.

  5. Artikel ; Online: Statewide Method of Measuring Ambulance Patient Offload Times.

    Abstract Objective: Ambulance patient offload time (APOT) also known colloquially as "Wall time" has been described in various jurisdictions but seems to be highly variable. Any attempt to improve APOT requires the use of common definitions and standard methodology to measure the extent of the problem.
    Methods: An Ambulance Offload Delay Task Force in California developed a set of standard definitions and methodology to measure APOT for transported 9-1-1 patients. It is defined as the time "interval between the arrival of an ambulance at an emergency department and the time that the patient is transferred to an ED gurney, bed, chair or other acceptable location and the ED assumes responsibility for care of the patient." Local EMS agencies voluntarily reported data according to the standard methodology to the California EMS Authority (State agency).
    Results: Data were reported for 9-1-1 transports during 2017 from 9 of 33 local EMS Agencies in California that comprise 37 percent of the state population. These represent 830,637 ambulance transports to 126 hospitals. APOT shows significant variation by EMS agency with half of the agencies demonstrating significant delays. Offload times vary markedly by hospital as well as by region. Three-fourths of hospitals detained EMS crews more than one hour, 40% more than two hours, and one-third delayed EMS return to service by more than three hours.
    Conclusion: This first step to address offload delays in California consists of standardized definitions for data collection to address the significant variability inherent in obtaining data from 33 local agencies, hundreds of EMS provider agencies, and 320 acute care hospital Emergency Departments that receive 9-1-1 ambulance transports. The first year of standardized data collection of ambulance patient offload times revealed significant ambulance patient offload time delays that are not distributed uniformly, resulting in a substantial financial burden for some EMS providers in California.

    Abstract Wildfires have become a regular seasonal disaster across the Western region of the United States. Wildfires require a multifaceted disaster response. In addition to fire suppression, there are public health and medical needs for responders and the general population in the path of the fire, as well as a much larger population impacted by smoke. This paper describes key aspects of the health and medical response to wildfires in California, including facility evacuation and shelter medical support, with emphasis on the organization, coordination, and management of medical teams deployed to fire incident base camps. This provides 1 model of medical support and references resources to help other jurisdictions that must respond to the rising incidence of large wildland fires.
