Abstract：
Background and objective Emergency medical services (EMS) are often assumed to only involve bringing patients to physicians for treatment in the emergency department. However, EMS staff are also responsible for responding to physicians in the primary care setting when medical emergencies arise. While emergency medicine (EM) residents are exposed to EMS as part of their curriculum, little is known about the knowledge of other resident physicians who may interact with EMS. In light of this, we conducted this study to address the scarcity of data related to this topic. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional knowledge assessment was conducted among resident physicians in emergency medicine, internal medicine, family medicine, pediatric, and combined medicine and pediatric residencies at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Results Eighteen EM residents and 26 non-EM residents completed the assessment. The EM residents had a higher average score when compared to non-emergency medicine residents (69.2% vs. 53.8%, p=0.0012). Conclusion Variations in scores between EM and other specialties that interact with EMS highlight the need for further training and familiarization related to EMS for residents in non-EM specialties.
摘要：
背景和目的急诊医疗服务（EMS）通常被认为仅涉及将患者带到急诊科接受治疗。然而,EMS工作人员还负责在发生医疗紧急情况时响应初级保健环境中的医生。虽然急诊医学（EM）居民作为课程的一部分接触EMS，对其他可能与EMS互动的住院医师的知识知之甚少。鉴于此,我们进行这项研究是为了解决与该主题相关的数据匮乏的问题。方法对急诊内科住院医师进行定量横断面知识评估,内科，家庭医学,儿科,以及宾夕法尼亚州立大学米尔顿·赫尔希医学中心的医学和儿科住院医师。结果18名EM居民和26名非EM居民完成了评估。与非急诊医学居民相比，EM居民的平均得分更高（69.2％vs.53.8%,p=0.0012)。结论EM和与EMS相互作用的其他专业之间的得分差异突出表明，需要对非EM专业的居民进行与EMS相关的进一步培训和熟悉。
