The recently-published research paper "Racial and Ethnic Disparities in EMS Use of Restraints and Sedation for Patients With Behavioral Health Emergencies" opens with, “Emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians commonly care for patients with behavioral health emergencies (BHEs), including acute agitation. There are known racial and ethnic disparities in the use of physical restraint and chemical sedation for BHEs in emergency department settings, but less is known about disparities in prehospital use of restraint or sedation.”
The post Study Shows EMS Use of Restraints and Sedation Vary with Patient Race, Ethnicity appeared first on ESO.
