Safer Airways, Better Outcomes: The NEMSQA Airway Collaborative Final Report

May 21 @ 2:00 pm

As the field of prehospital medicine has evolved, so too has our understanding of what defines a successful airway intervention. We must shift from a purely procedural focus on first-pass success to a more patient-centered outcome: first-pass success without hypotension or hypoxia. Intubation itself carries physiologic risk, and the goal is not simply to place a tube, but to do so while preserving hemodynamic and respiratory stability. The data reveals significant opportunities for improvement across EMS agencies in the delivery of safe and effective airway interventions. In 2024, the National EMS Quality Alliance (NEMSQA), in collaboration with other EMS organizations, launched the NEMSQA Airway Management Collaborative — a national EMS quality improvement initiative focused on optimizing prehospital airway management practices. The culmination of this collaborative is a change package of now-proven strategies to improve airway management outcomes. Join us to learn how to make meaningful improvements in the safe and effective delivery of prehospital airway care.

EMS Community,

I wanted to share a new educational resource for our region – the EMS Clinical Brief, a podcast designed to provide ongoing education on key clinical initiatives and priorities across the Monroe–Livingston EMS system. Episodes focus on topics that are directly relevant to our local practice, with an emphasis on translating evidence into practical, patient-centered care and supporting system-wide quality improvement.

Our first episode focuses on patient-centered airway management, exploring how we move beyond procedure-based metrics to outcomes that matter for patients. The discussion highlights our regional approach to airway management, including physiologically informed drug-assisted airway management, preoxygenation strategies, and the use of composite safety measures (e.g., first-pass success without hypoxia or hypotension.

Prodigy EMS is also offering free CAPCE-accredited CE for the first month after each episode is released. You can access the course here (either listen directly in Prodigy or attest if you’ve already listened elsewhere). A quiz will need to be completed for credit.

We hope this serves as a practical, relevant resource for clinicians and leaders across our region. Feedback is always welcome.

Best,

Maia Dorsett, MD, PhD, FAEMS, FACEP
