Out-of-hospital pediatric patient safety events: results of the CSI chart review.

Meckler G, Hansen M, Lambert W, et al. Prehosp Emerg Care. 2017 Oct 12; [Epub ahead of print].

Few studies have characterized adverse events in emergency medical services (EMS), and even fewer have focused on children. In a chart review of all critically ill pediatric ambulance transports in Multnomah County, Oregon, researchers found that nearly 70% resulted in a patient safety event, 23% of which were severe. The authors call for improved EMS provider training in neonatal care and pediatric resuscitation.
