Fatigue and sleep deprivation affect more than half of all EMS personnel with 50% reporting inadequate recovery between shifts. In some locations, greater than 80% of EMS personnel work more than one job or extended shift durations of 48 hours or longer. In this important lecture, EMS researcher/paramedic Dan Patterson will show the impact that fatigue and sleep deprivation can have on EMS personnel and their patients, with fatigue linked to the deaths of EMTs, paramedics, and patients. He will review the 2018 Evidence Based Guidelines for fatigue risk management and teach you how to effectively manage fatigue and sleep deprivation to reduce risk and negative outcomes.
