The authors examined the impact of a collegiate-based emergency medical service (CBEMS) on the frequency of emergency department (ED) transports.
Students transported to the ED for acute alcohol intoxication during the Fall 2008 and the Fall 2009 semesters (N = 50).
The frequency of students receiving transportation to a hospital ED and the reported blood alcohol content (BAC) levels during the initial operational semester of the CBEMS were compared to those values over the same time period the previous year.
More than twice the number of students was transported to the ED following the introduction of CBEMS. There was no change in mean BAC levels.
CBEMS could promote a culture conducive to increased reporting behavior, which makes the campus safer. Similar BAC levels suggest that the degree of intoxication was similar for the 2 reporting periods, but students sought emergency assistance more frequently following the inception of CBEMS.
作者研究了学院型紧急医疗服务(CBEMS)对急诊部(ED)转运频率的影响。
2008 年秋季和 2009 年秋季学期因急性酒精中毒被送往 ED 的学生(n=50)。
比较 CBEMS 初始运营学期期间接受送往医院 ED 治疗的学生频率和报告的血液酒精含量(BAC)水平与前一年同期的值。
引入 CBEMS 后,送往 ED 的学生人数增加了两倍多。BAC 水平平均值没有变化。
CBEMS 可以促进有利于增加报告行为的文化,从而使校园更安全。相似的 BAC 水平表明,两个报告期的醉酒程度相似,但在 CBEMS 成立后,学生更频繁地寻求紧急援助。
