Eric Jaeger is a nationally recognized expert on enhancing the safety of physical restraint and chemical sedation. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published his work (with two co-authors): “Handcuffs and Unexpected Deaths — ‘I Can’t Breathe’ as a Medical Emergency.” He recently served as a consultant to the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) as part of a panel of experts that developed new guidance for law enforcement: “15 Principles for Reducing the Risk of Restraint-Related Death.” He has been featured in national media reporting on this topic, including by the Associated Press and PBS Frontline. He has presented on this topic at major national and state EMS conferences, including NAEMSP, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Alaska. He has held educational sessions around the country for EMS and law enforcement, including at Cleveland Clinic. His training and experience as an attorney combined with my clinical experience as an RSI paramedic qualify him to address the challenging legal, ethical and medical issues surrounding safe physical and chemical restraint.
