Featured resource: Working with the National Association of EMS Physicians and the American College of Emergency Physicians, the National Association of State EMS Officials led a project to develop an evidence-based guideline (EBG) for the management of acute pain in the prehospital setting. The project was funded in part by the EMSC program. An informational webinar will be held March 9. (Note: Pain management will be the topic of an upcoming EIIC Pediatric Education and Advocacy Kit with additional resources to support EBG implementation.) View the EBG or join the March 9 webinar.
