Episode 89: Meet The EMS Research Fellows!
The future of EMS depends on research that drives better decisions, stronger systems, and improved patient care. In this episode of Registry Insider, host Bill Seifarth sits down with the National Registry's three current EMS Research Fellows to discuss their journeys into research, the groundbreaking projects they're leading, and how the fellowship is shaping the next generation of EMS scientists. From workforce resilience and cardiac arrest research to airway management and public health, the conversation offers an inside look at how research is helping advance the EMS profession. The fellows also share what it's like to balance doctoral studies with full-time work at the National Registry, the value of mentorship, and the unique opportunities the fellowship provides. Whether you are an EMS clinician, educator, leader, or someone passionate about the future of prehospital care, this episode offers an inspiring look at the people and research driving the profession forward.

From Science to the Scene
Rethinking Seizure Management in the Field
Generalized, convulsive status epilepticus is a critical emergency where time and proper treatment matter immensely. In the latest episode of From Science to the Scene, Jacob breaks down a national study published in Annals of Emergency Medicine evaluating real-world midazolam use across 657 EMS agencies. National guidelines recommend a single 10 mg intramuscular (IM) injection for seizing adults, yet guideline-concordant care occurred in only 4.1% of the encounters. Most patients received lower doses via intravenous (IV) or intranasal (IN) routes.Additionally, dosing and route directly impacted patient outcomes!
- Route: IN midazolam had the highest first dose failure rate frequently requiring rescue medication.
- Dose: Higher midazolam doses improved seizure control without increasing the need for ventilatory support.
