What the grant funds

The purpose of this Assistance Agreement (AA or Agreement) is to provide assistance to the Recipient, via a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, to support its membership by developing and disseminating 1) an Evidence Based Guideline (EBG) for prehospital airway management by Emergency Medical Services (EMS), 2) a model treatment protocol based on the EBG, 3) educational materials for use in training EMS clinicians in implementation of the EBG, and 4) performance measures to support implementation of the EBG. The objective is to assemble a multidisciplinary Technical Expert Panel (TEP) that would include experts in emergency medicine, EMS, pediatrics, prehospital airway management, and guideline development methodology, as well as a patient advocate, for the purpose of developing an EBG and model treatment protocol for prehospital airway management by EMS. The Recipient will develop educational materials for prehospital EMS clinicians and disseminate the EBG, model treatment protocol, educational materials, and performance measures to its membership.
