So this policy is relatively new, definitely occurred during the last five years of my practice as an ER doc. It sucks, many patients come in overly sedated and closer to death because of their overzealous sedation rather than the illness they are arriving for.

It causes misdiagnosis (had a patient come in coding from over-sedation, intubated him and got him back, only hours later when family arrived they reported the patient had fevers and headaches, turns out the guy had meningitis, he did ok after antibiotics but half my nurses were exposed because we were struggling to save his life and the EMS didn’t bother to get much of a history, only loaded him up with sedation because he was agitated) and is being administered way too freely, even to elderly dementia patients who are even slightly difficult to transport by ambulance. The medics don’t seem to realize how dangerous what they’re doing is, just stating that they followed protocols established by their ambulance company.

I’ve been in meetings with ambulance management and they defend their actions by stating there aren’t enough medics and this is a measure to protect them from being harmed. It’s super frustrating.

It’s totally the lack of staffing and pay driven by private equity and knock on effects from their influence in the industry.

For example: when I started my career, it was widely preached by our boards that the maximum rate a physician should safely work in an ER was seeing 1.2 patients per hour. That’s about 40min spent in a patient’s room going through everything and trying to figure out what is wrong. This was deemed appropriate because it’s an emergency and should merit your attention and careful consideration.

Now the minimum threshold the company who bought out the hospital demands is 2.7 patients per hour with bonus incentives to see more than 3.5 patients per hour.

Not only that but they staff the ER with the expectation that the “incentive” rate will be met or exceeded every hour and if the ER backs up with patients because they can’t meet that rate then it’s the fault of the doctors and nurses, not their staffing model.

Not everywhere, and the example I’m referring to is being done by EMS and they’re using ketamine and fentanyl. The cops are too scared of fentanyl and come in “to get checked out” if it even touches them.

eh, I agree with you like 99% but the ED is often a bit blasé about the circumstances we deal with. its easy to say a patient didn’t need sedation when you’re standing in front of them docile as a kitten. meanwhile I had to get them on a stair chair and down three flights of stairs while they’re beating the poo poo out of anyone who gets near them.

also lol that the medics didn’t give you guys a complete history—they almost certainly weren’t given one.

but yeah oversedation is definitely a problem because medic turnover is ridiculous. it’s a poo poo job with bad hours and not nearly high enough a barrier for entry.

I’d argue we shouldn’t exist in a sane society because physicians would be on the ambulance.

a lot of this poo poo is regional too. I’ve probably given ketamine ~5 times in 14yrs for chemical restraint on combative patients and all of them *definitely* needed it.

otherwise it’s all low dose pain mgmt and DAI induction.

hmm...maybe if they hired more staff from over seas to work remotely for less...patients could interact with them at a kiosk...
