NAEMSP has released a position statement - Clinical Care and Restraint of Agitated or Combative Patients by EMS Practitioners - as a joint position, which replaces the previous NAEMSP positions on patient restraint from 2002, which was updated in 2017.
The NAEMSP, NASEMSO, NEMSMA, NAEMT and APA recognize that emergency medical services (EMS) personnel frequently care for agitated, combative, or violent patients, who require clinical treatment and transportation. These situations are often complicated by alcohol use, substance use, or mental health illness. When clinical monitoring and treatment are indicated, these become health care issues.

NAEMSP won a hard fought victory for our membership in 2016 (2017), by lobbying for and achieving passage of the "Protecting Access to Emergency Medications Act of 2017", a bill that addressed significant hazards for EMS practice and controlled substances. The much-anticipated DEA rules package for the application of the Bill have finally been published in the federal register for public comment that ends on 12/4/20. We encourage our members and their respective agency leadership to visit the document and submit concerns prior to the Dec. 4.

The Board of Directors has reviewed the results of our recent membership survey and, with a heavy heart, realized the need to cancel our in-person conference scheduled for January in Austin. The good news, however, is that we will move forward with a virtual conference over the same dates, January 11-16, 2021. More details soon to follow. NAEMSP staff has already managed dozens of clients who have made the switch to a virtual conference, and they are bringing all that experience to bear to manage our transition this coming year.
