Welcome To From Science To The Scene
Produced by the National Registry’s Research Team, From Science to the Scene brings clarity to the most important evidence shaping EMS. Drawing from the curated reading lists hosted by the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium (PGC), influential work from organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA), and even our own peer‑reviewed research, we break down high‑level science into practical insights for Clinicians and leaders. As EMS Research Fellow Chris Gage puts it, “Our mission is to filter the constant influx of new research into what actually matters for you and your patients."

Episode 5: Intra-arrest Transport vs Continued On-Scene Resuscitation
Should a Clinician "stay and play" or "load and go?" This question is at the heart of the latest episode of the From Science to the Scene podcast.Our Research Fellow, Kayla Riel, joins the show to dive into a study that challenges old habits. For a long time, the common thought was that a fast trip to the hospital was the best chance for a patient in cardiac arrest. However, the latest data from the Journal of the American Medical Association tells a more complex story.
The research compares patients who were transported during resuscitation to those who received care on the scene. The results are clear: continuing care where the patient is found is linked to a higher rate of survival. A Clinician who focuses on high quality care on the scene may give their patient a better chance to return home to their family.
Moving a patient while their heart is not beating is a major challenge. It can lower the quality of chest compressions and create safety risks for the crew in the back of the ambulance. Kayla Riel explains how these findings should change the way we think about our protocols and our training.

Episode 4: Tranexamic Acid During Prehospital Transport
Discover the nuances of the STAAMP trial and its implications for hemorrhagic shock. This episode explores why the "timing of care" is critical, as survival rates improved specifically for patients receiving TXA in the early stages of injury. By highlighting that there is no increased risk of adverse events, the research provides clinicians with the evidence needed to confidently integrate early TXA administration into their trauma protocols.

Episode 3: Pain Management
In this episode, National Registry Research Fellow Jacob Kamholz explores a national study on how pain is managed in the field. The research analyzed over 35,000 EMS records of adult patients with confirmed long bone fractures. By linking EMS data with hospital diagnoses, researchers were able to precisely identify the injuries treated by each Clinician.
