This section contains some of the more frequent and important questions about the administration of aspirin (ASA) at dispatch, along with answers directly from the Academy.  \nTopic: Benefit of pre-arrival administration of aspirin  \nQuestion: Is there any evidence that giving ASA prior to EMS arrival is of benefit over waiting until EMS arrives and gives it?  \nAcademy Answer: The Academy received multiple Proposals for Change to add aspirin administration at dispatch. Initially, with v11.3 there was some medical opposition to including it (a small percentage based on potential exacerbation of internal bleeding), and that was the reason it did not come out as an imbedded part of that protocol at that time. Once revisited by the Council of Standards, the decision was made to make it a medical control option to authorize it or not.  \nWhile the Academy is not aware of any outcome data stating that dispatch administration increases survival, it does make sense that earlier administration is better than, if not equivalent to, waiting for responders. The Council of Standards felt that the combination of the response time, arrival to patient contact time, patient scene evaluation time, and then potential administration of ASA could be shortened by dispatch administration. It has been reported that even in good EMS systems with ASA administration policies, 10 to 30 percent of eligible patients never get ASA. Use at dispatch would better standardize ASA administration (via protocol) and provide it sooner (considerably sooner in long response times, responder unavailability situations, and rural areas). The Academy received unofficial support from its advisors at AHA, ECCC, and ILCOR to move forward.  \nThe Academy has also received support from its standards experts in all other countries where the Academy is currently preparing or implementing translations, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Azerbaijan. Since the Academy takes a unified multi-country view of dispatch-provided patient care, even a small percentage increase in proper administration of aspirin could affect thousands of at-risk people worldwide. Dr. Paul Stiegler, medical director for Dane County and one of the world’s few EMD-Instructor physicians, stated,“The ability of pre-prehospital personnel to provide aspirin by protocol to patients with  \nacute coronary syndromes will markedly improve the consistency and timeliness ofits administration.”  \nWhen considering that sooner should be better, the general comment we got from our experts was,“Then why not?” There is also a dearth of medical control in many smaller systems and police-controlled systems. The Academy, by creating a standard to apply across the hodgepodge of medical physician involvement in these systems, would simplify and move forward such needed care.  \nTopic: Data proof of dispatch aspirin administration success?  \nQuestion: I am trying to convince my administration to use the ASA Dx tool. Is there any research or data showing a positive outcome?  \nAcademy Answer: There is virtually no data on this, although it is estimated that about 1,000 sites in the U.S. and Canada are using the ASA Dx tool. While we have a dozen or more pre-implementation queries about“what if” and standard-of-care based concerns, we have received no negative reports on its actual use—no real clinical issues.  \nRegarding research and positive outcomes, we don’t believe that this can really be studied since so many variables exist. Time frames between administration at dispatch versus waiting until responders arrive at the scene could be studied, but it would only show the time advantage of dispatch administration, not end outcome improvement. That would","cbCaisNqftrsi4CW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNqftrsi4CW","pdf",640267,"English","# Benefit of pre-arrival administration of aspirin\n## Data proof of dispatch aspirin administration success?\n# Medical directors disagree","[{\"question\":\"Is there evidence that giving ASA before EMS arrives provides benefit compared with waiting?\",\"answer\":\"The document states it is not aware of outcome data proving improved survival, but it argues earlier administration should be better or equivalent.
