Alcohol as a Factor in 911 Calls in Denver.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to 9-1-1 calls that do not involve alcohol, alcohol-related calls are more likely to involve male patients, emergent response, traumatic injuries, advanced monitoring, airway adjuncts, and medications for sedation. This represents a significant burden on the emergency system and society. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether additional interventions such as social services could be used to lessen this burden. PMID: 29419332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
