TL;DR: In this sample of EMS workers, poor sleep quality and fatigue are common, and preliminary evidence of an association between sleep quality, fatigue, and safety outcomes is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mari S. Machi,Matthew S. Staum,Clifton W. Callaway,Charity G. Moore,Kwonho Jeong,Joe Suyama,P. Daniel Patterson,David Hostler +7 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that short-term memory appears to decline after day and overnight shifts and confirms the high incidence of disturbed sleep in this population of attending emergency physicians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Quality and Fatigue Among Prehospital Providers
TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that the sleep quality and fatigue status of EMS workers are at unhealthy levels and the health and safety of the EMS worker and patient population should be considered in light of these results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paramedic Determinations of Medical Necessity: A Meta-Analysis
Lawrence H. Brown,Michael W. Hubble,David C. Cone,Michael G. Millin,Brian Schwartz,P. Daniel Patterson,Brad Greenberg,Michael E. Richards +7 more
TL;DR: The results of the few studies evaluating U.S. paramedic determinations of medical necessity for ambulance transport vary considerably, and only two studies report complete data, and these data do not support the practice of paramedics' determining whether patients require ambulance transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery between Work Shifts among Emergency Medical Services Clinicians.
TL;DR: In this sample of EMS workers, greater recovery between shifts is associated with satisfaction with scheduling and longer shift length, and there were weaker associations of recovery with health status, sleep quality, and workplace fatigue.
