With the rising prevalence of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there has been an increase in the acute presentation of these individuals to the general health care system. Emergency medical services and emergency department personnel commonly address the health care needs of patients with ASD at times of crisis. Unfortunately, there is little education provided to front-line emergency medical technicians, paramedics and emergency nurses on the characteristics of ASD and how these characteristics can create challenges for individuals with ASD and their health care providers in the pre-hospital and emergency department settings. This paper describes the development of educational materials on ASD and the results of training of emergency medical services and emergency department personnel.
随着自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者患病率的上升,这些个体向普通医疗保健系统急性就诊的情况有所增加。紧急医疗服务人员和急诊科人员通常在危机时刻满足ASD患者的医疗保健需求。不幸的是,针对一线急救医疗技术人员、护理人员和急诊护士,关于ASD的特征以及这些特征如何在院前和急诊科环境中给ASD患者及其医疗保健提供者带来挑战的培训很少。本文描述了关于ASD的教育材料的开发以及紧急医疗服务人员和急诊科人员的培训结果。
