Introductionagitation is a frequent and complex emergency. Prehospital management of agitation requires appropriate measures to preserve patients’ safety, stabilize the patient and alleviate suffering, and transfer to the hospital psychiatric services, including involuntary admission if needed.ObjectivesTo describe the incidence and management of agitation by the emergency medical service of Castilla y León (S aCyL) in an area of Valladolid.MethodsRetrospective study of all psychiatric emergencies attended by a prehospital emergency medical service in 2014.Resultsone hundred and twenty-one emergencies were attended over a catchment area that covered 170,000 inhabitants (1.4/1000 inhab.). Overall, 55% were men, mean age was 45 years, 60% were considered psychiatric, 29% organic and 11% mixed. However, men had a higher frequency of organic (39%) compared to psychiatric (48%) agitation than women (16% and 75%, respectively), and most of them were related to alcohol or drug use. among patients with psychiatric or mixed agitation 81% had psychiatric history and the pharmacologic treatment most frequently used was intramuscular midazolam.ConclusionsThe incidence of acute agitation accounts for almost half of the total psychiatric emergencies in the prehospital setting. Since there are different healthcare providers in charge, specific protocols as well as treatment procedures are needed to provide the most adequate management, in order to ensure the best psychiatric emergency chain.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

EMS (emergency medical service) plays an important role in saving lives in emergency and accident situations. When first responders, including EMS providers and firefighters, arrive at an incident, they communicate with the patients (if conscious), family members and other witnesses, other first responders, and the command center. The first responders utilize a microphone and headset to support these communications. After the incident, the first responders are required to document the incident by filling out a form. Today, this is performed manually. Manual documentation of patient summary report is time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. We have addressed these form filling problems by transcribing the audio from the scene, identifying the relevant information from all the conversations, and automatically filling out the form. Informal survey of first responders indicate that this application would be exceedingly helpful to them. Results show that we can fill out a model summary report form with an F1 score as high as 94%, 78%, 96%, and 83% when the data is noise-free audio, noisy audio, noise-free textual narratives, and noisy textual narratives, respectively.
