Excellence is such a standard in the PEMS region that it is hard to recognize it anymore.  But, it is important to note that our average represents the extended efforts of many individuals, from educators to administrators, from physicians and nurses to prehospital providers, from great innovators to great process and systems managers.   Please take the time to complete one or more of these nomination forms for those that come to mind when you speak the title of the award and discuss these awards with staff and co-workers.  The awards winners will become the regional nominees for the Governors EMS Awards.

Both Award Criteria and Eligibility for each award may be found on PEMS website.

Submitting nominations is quick and easy using the electronic forms located at:

Epinephrine Shortage - Creating an Epinephrine 0.1mg/mL Syringe 

Creating an Epinephrine 0.1mg/mL Syringe - Regional hospitals are experiencing a shortage of pre-filled epinephrine syringes.  Because of this, the pharmacies may reduce the number of pre-filled syringes from 8 to 0 inside Medication Kits being restocked. A card will be placed in the outer pouch of a Medication Kit if it is affected.  Please note that there is still a 30cc epinephrine 1mg/mL multi-dose vial in the Medication Kit.  You can prepare epinephrine 0.1mg/mL by expending 1 cc from a pre-filled 10 cc saline syringe and drawing 1 cc of epinephrine 1mg/mL from the multi-dose vial. As always, have your partner verify your medication prior to administering and label your syringe!

Please watch the following PEMS-produced training video on how to  appropriately create the correct dosage for an epinephrine 0.1mg/mL dose.  The video may be found on PEMS' YouTube channel at:  https://youtu.be/EzNXSgOd4dE
