EMS Guideline Registry

Since 2020, the PGC has completed and published biennial systematic reviews of prehospital guidelines to identify the highest quality evidence-based guidelines available to EMS clinicians and medical directors. These reviews aim to identify all guidelines providing recommendations for prehospital clinical care or operations and evaluate the quality of individual guidelines using standardized criteria.

Each systematic review involved a search of the literature in Ovid Medline and EMBASE. Publications were retained if they were (1) Relevant to prehospital care, (2) Based on an organized review of the literature, and (3) Focused on providing recommendations for clinical care or operations. Retained prehospital guidelines are available in this registry through its searchable interface. Additionally, the registry identifies if guidelines meet the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) criteria for high-quality guidelines and are scored across the six domains of the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II tool. Details of these appraisals are available in the above publications.
