Abstract:
This study aimed to the socioeconomic and clinical characteristics associated with the use of 119 ambulance/private cars and the number of emergency room visits based on the 2017 data from the Korea Health Panel. The analysis revealed that during emergencies, the use of private cars (59.02%) was more common than 119 ambulance services (18.89%). Moreover, 119 ambulance users were significantly older, had a lower annual total household income, and had relatively more accidents than diseases when compared to private car users. On comparing the number of emergency room visits between single and multiple visits, there were statistically significant differences in age, total annual household income, season of use, and reasons for use for private car usage than 119 ambulances. The 119 ambulance service is an essential public safety net. Therefore, it is increasingly important to solve the frequent use of 119 ambulances by non-emergency patients, and efficiently utilize limited ambulance resources.

Abstract:
With the increase of vehicles and cars of different kind and the large movement that occurs every day on the roads it was natural to observe an increase in traffic accidents, but the real dilemma lies in how to make the rescue process efficient. The problem that we want to solve is the response of ambulances towards accidents and the lengthy registration process of patients in hospitals. In the above two scenarios, the manual process of calling the ambulance leads to delay in rescue of patients from an accident and the delay in registration of patient leads to delay in medication or treatment of the patient. We want to make the process more efficient by automating accident detection for increasing the efficiency of the ambulance rescue process and by sending the details of the patient before the patient reaches the hospitals for faster treatment of patients. Along with this, alert messages will be sent to the family or friends of the patients to notify them as soon as an accident is detected.

Abstract:
Objective. To evaluate the ability of country ambulance services to provide first medical aid in trauma cases. Material and methods. A survey of chiefs of emergency medicine service was performed in October–November 2005, in which 34 of the 59 institutions (58%) were participating. The questionnaire presented questions concerning physical and human resources, performance values, and system configuration. The study has shown that emergency medicine service operates in radius of 23 km, each team providing service for about 40 000 inhabitants. Taking into consideration distance and average on-scene time values, emergency medicine service is capable to render the first medical aid within so-called “golden hour” in case the accident is reported immediately. The physical resources are not quite complete. Not all the cars are equipped with essential first aid measures. Among more rarely found resources are vacuum pumps, intubation sets, defibrillators, vacuum splints, back immobilization devices, and hammock immobilization devices. There are less mentioned resources than working teams and even more than two times less than emergency cars at all. Two-thirds of the operating emergency medicine services do not provide advanced life support procedures. The evaluation of theoretical/practical ability to provide some important medical procedures used in emergency medical care showed that medical staff quite often fails to perform defibrillation, intubation, and pleural cavity drainage. Conclusions. Country ambulance service network configuration according to area under service, number of people served, and response frequency comply with the requirement set. The ambulance vehicles lack complete set up as well as some important supplies. Only rarely the staff is skilled enough to perform such advanced life support procedures as intubation, defibrillation, and pleural drainage.

AbstractThis study aims to identify the formation of the escort team community and the important role of the ambulance escort. Research methods used by researchers are empirical studies by obtaining live data from interviews via social media with escort teams and communities in Indonesia. Research on the role of escort team helps the ambulance travel quickly to the assigned hospital. Early in the development of the escort team in Indonesia, due to people's indifference to the presence of ambulances when the ambulance sirens went off, this caused patients to bet their lives on the streets. Several communities and police departments disagreed on the escort team's presence, as it was in the interest of security and order in police traffic that had the authority to escort ambulances. In this case the host team helps the ambulance, since the ambulance asks escort teams to escort ambulances, for a definite decision or discrete of the police force to provide a specific clearance for the escort team's communities.Keywords: ambulance escort; escort team community; roleAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui awal terbentuknya komunitas tim escort dan peranan penting dalam melakukan pengawalan ambulans. Metode penelitian yang digunakan peneliti adalah penelitian empiris dengan cara memperoleh data langsung dari hasil wawancara melalui media sosial dengan pihak tim escort dan masyarakat di Indonesia. Melalui penelitian ini peneliti peranan tim escort dapat membantu perjalanan ambulans agar cepat sampai ke rumah sakit yang dituju. Pada awal terbentuknya komunitas tim escort di Indonesia, disebabkan karena ketidakpedulian masyarakat akan keberadaan ambulans ketika sirine ambulans berbunyi, hal ini yang menyebabkan pasien bertaruh nyawa di jalan. Beberapa masyarakat dan pihak kepolisan tidak setuju akan keberadaan komunitas tim escort, karena demi keamanan dan ketertiban dalam berlalu lintas pihak kepolisian yang memiliki wewenang untuk melakukan pengawalan ambulans. Dalam hal ini keberadaan komunitas tim escort sangat membantu pihak ambulans, karena pihak ambulans yang meminta tim escort untuk mengawal ambulans, supaya adanya kepastian diperlukan keputusan atau diskresi kepolisian agar memberikan ketegasan berupa izin khusus untuk komunitas tim escort dalam melakukan pengawalan ambulans.Kata kunci: komunitas tim escort; pengawalan ambulans; peranan

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Within the Home Radiology service of the Piedmont Region - R@dhome (1) - it was decided to employ a mobile radiological service to allow minor radiological procedures to be conducted in rural areas. Cortemilia (average age of population 51.6 years, population over 65 years 33.6 percent) is situated in Piedmont (Langhe region) and it is about 40 kilometers, with bad roads, from the nearest hospital. For this reason it's important to optimize the potential offered by telemedicine. The purpose of R@dhome is to provide simple radiological services (ambulatory) to vulnerable patients in outpatient settings. The aim of this work was to implement an assessment, based on Health Impact Analysis (HIA) (2,3) criteria, of the health intervention provided by the R@dhome service.METHODS:From January 2016 to December 2016 the following were assessed: •number of patients examined in the local radiological ambulatory service•inhabitants opinions (using questionnaires)•General Practitioner, Pharmacist, Family nurse opinions (using semi-structured interviews)•stakeholder opinions (Mayor, local politicians, using semi-structured interviews)•number of cars and ambulances used for the transport of patients to the nearest hospital•number of patients who avoided transportation to the nearest hospital•pollutants PM10 (particle size 10) related to cars and ambulance traffic.RESULTS:Forty percent of people interviewed were more than 60 years old, 76 percent needed x-rays (in 2015), 96.8 percent considered it useful to have a closer x-ray service, only 42 percent had a driver's licence but preferred not to drive; GP's said that 50 percent of local patients had trouble reaching the hospital and that 30 percent of local patients need informal or formal care. From Januay to December 2016 we examined (mainly chest and bone x-rays) in 598 patients using as an alternative to private cars and ambulances the radiological mobile station, and the pollutant emissions were shown to be reduced by 85 percent.CONCLUSIONS:This study has provided a comprehensive HIA report which shows that the R@dhome intervention improves patient's QOL, reduces social costs, reduces the number of patients in the Hospital Radiology Department, reduces rate of hospitalization and pollution.

Abstract:
A few minutes before 9:00 a.m. on Friday 28th February 1975, a call was made to London Ambulance from Moorgate Station, stating nothing more than a train driver had been injured. Some three minutes later, a second call came which indicated that there had in fact, been a major disaster with many casualties. The extent of the casualties and difficulties to be encountered were still not realized, and only when the first of the rescue services and a medical team entered the wreckage was, what was before them was apparent. Three cars containing commuters had been compressed and “concertinaed” into a a blind ending tunnel. Three cars having a combined total length of 150 feet, with a possible total capacity of 440 persons, had been crushed in a tunnel with a maximum length of some 67 feet. Fortunately, despite the time, the cars were not full to capacity, and the total number of injured was only 113.

AbstractObjectiveEmergency and core ambulance personnel work under all environmental conditions, including severe weather condtions. We evaluated emergency medical personnel in Çanakkale, Turkey, for their degree of preparedness.MethodsA descriptive study was conducted in Çanakkale, Turkey, within 112 emergency service units and their 17 district stations. Surveys were developed to measure the level of preparedness for serious winter conditions that individual workers made for themselves, their homes, and their cars.ResultsOf the 167 survey participants, the mean age was 29.8 ± 7.9 years; 52.7% were women; more than half (54.75%) were emergency medical technicians; and 53.3% were married. Only 10.4% of those who heated their homes with natural gas had carbon monoxide detectors. Scores relating to household and individual preparation for severe winter conditions increased by participants’ age (P < .003), being married (P < .000) and working in the city center (P < .021); and for men whose cars were equipped with tow ropes, extra clothing, and snow tires (P < .05). Absenteeism was higher for central-city personnel than district workers because they were less prepared for harsh winter conditions (P = .016).ConclusionMany of the surveyed emergency health personel demonstrated insufficient preparations for serious winter conditions. To increase the safety and efficiency of emergency medical personnel, educational training programs should be rountinely conducted. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2014;0:1-4)

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the rate of first attempt success of endotracheal intubation performed by ambulance nurses in patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 3 using video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in a single, independent ambulance service. Twenty of a total of 65 nurse-staffed ambulances were equipped with a video laryngoscope; a classic direct laryngoscope (Macintosh) was available on all 65 ambulances. The primary outcome was first attempt success of the intubation. Secondary outcomes were overall success, time needed for intubation, adverse events, technical or environmental issues encountered, and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Ambulance nurses were asked if the intubation device had affected the outcome of the intubation. Results The first attempt success rate in the video laryngoscopy group [53 of 93 attempts (57%)] did not differ from that in the direct laryngoscopy group [61 of 126 (48%); p = 0.221]. However, the second attempt success rate was higher in the video laryngoscopy group [77/93 (83%) versus 80/126 (63%), p = 0.002]. The median time needed for the intubation (53 versus 56 s) was similar in both groups. Ambulance nurses more often expected a positive effect when performing endotracheal intubation with a video laryngoscope (n = 72, 81%) compared with a direct laryngoscope (n = 49, 52%; p < 0.001). Conclusion Although no significant effect on the first attempt success was found, video laryngoscopy did increase the overall success rate. Ambulance nurses had a more positive valuation of the video laryngoscope with respect to success chances.

Abstract:
This PhD dissertation experimentally characterized the vibration amplitude, frequency, and energy associated with ambulance travel and defined the relationship of the vibration to safety, comfort and care of ambulance patients. Average vertical vibration amplitudes of .46 to 2.55 m/sec2 were recorded in the patient compartment of four ambulances over four road surfaces at three speed settings. Power spectrum analysis of the data revealed that the vibration energy and resulting vertical acceleration forces were concentrated in the .1 to 6 Hz range. Relationships between the measured ambulance vibration and the impact of whole body vibration on human physiology and performance were quantified. It was found that the accelerations measured in the ambulances were in excess of what is considered to be a normal human comfort level. Furthermore, the vibration measured was in a spectrum which could present physical impediments to optimum task performance for the on-board medical team. Phase portrait analysis combined with the power spectrum data revealed the presence of nonlinearities, stochastic fluctuations and time delays inherent in the data. The ambulance vibration data was then used to create a unique analytical model and library of forcing functions corresponding to the vehicles, road surfaces and vehicle speeds that were tested. Using the example of a vibration absorbing force plate fit over an existing ambulance floor, it was demonstrated how the model and forcing functions could be used to develop a control law equation to select parameters for active control of vibration to produce sustainable regions of patient safety, comfort and care.

Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the experiences of ambulance nurses when using Boussignac CPAPcompared to their previous model, and their suggestions for possible improvements in the use of CPAP in the care of patients with pulmonary oedema. Method: A qualitative study with a descriptive and exploratory approach. Data was collected through ten semi-structured interviews with ambulance nurses, seven men and three women. The analysis was conducted using Lundman and Graneheim’s content analysis. Results: Three categories were identified: Usage, Treatment and Development. Boussignac CPAP is described as easy to use and with fewer elements than the previous model. With this model it is particularly appreciated to have the opportunity to be able to regulate the resistance without fixed settings. Boussignac CPAP is regarded as more convenient in the handover of the patient. The potential for increased use, with the possibility of adjustment without fixed settings of resistance for Boussignac CPAP, is not perceived to be fully realized. Conclusion: Boussignac CPAP is, by the ambulance nurses, perceived to have made the handling of equipment easier and increased quality of care. To make further use of the potential of Boussignac CPAP more training and changes in the guidelines may be needed.
Syfte: Att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av Boussignac CPAP jämfört med deras föregående modell, samt ambulanssjuksköterskors eventuella förslag till möjliga förbättringar vid användandet av CPAP i vården av patienter med lungödem. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med deskriptiv och utforskande ansats. Data utgörs av tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med ambulanssjuksköterskor, sju män och tre kvinnor. Materialet har analyserats med Lundman och Graneheims innehållsanalys. Resultat: Tre kategorier identifierades: Användning, Behandling samt Utveckling. Boussignac CPAP beskrivs som lättanvänd och med färre moment än föregående modell. Med modellen uppskattas särskilt möjligheten att steglöst reglera motståndet. Boussignac CPAP upplevs som lättare då masken eller dess delar inte behöver plockas av patienten vid överlämnandet från ambulansverksamheten. Förutsättningarna till ökat användningsområde, i och med möjligheten att steglöst ändra motståndet för Boussignac CPAP upplevs inteutnyttjas fullt ut. Slutsats: Boussignac CPAP upplevs av ambulanssjuksköterskorna ha underlättat hanteringen av utrustningen samt ökat vårdkvaliteten för patienten. För att vidare kunna utnyttja potentialen med Boussignac CPAP kan mer utbildning och förändringar i riktlinjer behövas.

Abstract:

 

Every day media reports acts of violence in various kinds. Crime statistics shows that threats and violence are increasing in regard to both frequency and intensity within the nation. Nurses in the ambulance service are often the first to meet with a patient, therefore these nurses often find themselves in situations where violence and threats occur or have occurred. Drug addiction or some kind of illness are often reasons behind threats and violence.

Earlier studies within this area of knowledge are mostly foreign and therefore little describes Swedish nurses` experiences of threats and violence within the ambulance service.

The purpose of this study was to describe nurses experiences of threats and violence in the meeting with patients within the ambulance service.

The study is a qualitative interview study performed within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Skövde. Six nurses were interviewed with the criterion that they should have experienced threats and violence within their occupation. The primary information was analyzed with a qualitative method.

The result showed that threats and violence occur within the occupation and that the nurses feel exposed for the same. It indicated that the types of threat vary and that the education concerning how threats and violence should be handled is considered poor by the nurses themselves. The result also showed that the patient care is affected by the amount of threats and violence that the nurses are exposed to.

There is a need for further research within this area of knowledge and within education in how to handle these situations for personnel in the ambulance service.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Akuta krampanfall drabbar många människor, både nationellt och internationellt. Detta behandlas i första hand med Bensodiazepiner, såsom Diazepam och Midazolam. Sveriges prehospitala behandlingsriktlinjer skiljer sig åt vid behandling av akuta krampanfall. Region Halland förnyade behandlingsriktlinjerna år 2011 och införde intranasal administrering av Midazolam Syfte: Att sammanställa behandlingsriktlinjerna angående medicinsk behandling vid kramper prehospitalt i Sverige samt kartlägga användandet av bensodiazepiner vid kramper prehospitalt i Region Halland. Metod: En kvantitativ registerstudie med en retrospektiv design användes. En sammanställning av Sveriges prehospitala behandlingsriktlinjer för medicinsk behandling av kramper utfördes. Chi-Två samt Fishers exakta test användes vid analysen av den insamlade datan från 127 ambulansjournaler i Region Halland. Resultat: Sammanställningen av Sveriges prehospitala behandlingsriktlinjer vid kramper visade att behandlingsriktlinjerna skiljer sig åt nationellt. Resultatet från kartläggningen av användandet med bensodiazepiner vid kramper prehospitalt i Region Halland visade att Diazepam var det vanligast använda läkemedlet samt att det fanns en signifikant skillnad i behandlingen med Diazepam rektalt relaterat till patientens ålder. Flertalet patienter som hade behandlats med Midazolam intranasalt behövde kompletterande behandling med Diazepam intravenöst. Slutsats: Behandlingsriktlinjerna för kramper prehospitalt skiljer sig åt nationellt. Diazepam var det vanligast använda läkemedlet samt en bristfällig följsamhet till behandlingsriktlinjerna framkom i Region Halland. Mer forskning behövs avseende ambulanssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att behandla pågående kramper prehospitalt för ge patienterna möjlighet till en god omvårdnad på ett säkert sätt.
Background: Acute seizures affects a large number of people both nationally and internationally. Seizures are primarily treated with benzodiazepines, such as Diazepam and Midazolam. Sweden's prehospital treatment guidelines differ in the treatment of acute seizures. Region Halland renewed the treatment guidelines in 2011 and introduced intranasal administration of Midazolam. Objective: To compile the treatment guidelines for medical treatment in prehospital seizures in Sweden and to survey the use of benzodiazepines in prehospital seizures in Region Halland. Method: A quantitative register study with a retrospective design was used. A compilation of Sweden's prehospital treatment guidelines was performed. Chi-Two and Fishers exact test are used in the analysis of the collected data from 127 ambulance journals in Region Halland.  Results: The compilation of Swedish prehospital treatment guidelines for seizures showed that the treatment guidelines differ nationally. The survey of the use of benzodiazepines in prehospital seizures in Region Halland showed that Diazepam was the most commonly used drug, and that there was a significant difference in treatment with Diazepam rectally related to the age of the patient. Most patients treated with Midazolam intranasally needed additional therapy with Diazepam intravenously. Conclusion: The prehospital treatment guidelines for seizures differs nationally. Diazepam was the most commonly used drug and the compliance with the treatment guidelines is inadequate in Region Halland. More research is needed regarding from the ambulance nurse's experiences of treating ongoing prehospital seizures in order to provide patients with proper care in a safe way.

Abstract:
Bakgrund. För att tillgodose ett tryggt patientomhändertagande krävs god kommunikation mellan olika vårdande yrkesgrupper. Vägen dit är full av utmaningar. När kommunikationen brister är det oftast på grund av oförståelse av respektive roller mellan yrkesgrupper och störningar i miljön där kommunikationen utförs. För ett väl fungerande samarbete mellan personal på ambulans och räddningstjänst är god kommunikation av högsta vikt.  Syfte. Syftet med studien var att undersöka erfarenheten sjuksköterskor inom ambulansverksamheten har av kommunikation med räddningstjänstpersonal under samverkan.  Metod. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats genomfördes med elva sjuksköterskor verksamma i södra delen av Sverige. Genom användandet av Critical Incident Technique togs sjuksköterskornas erfarenhet och hanteringen av specifika händelser i samband med kommunikation med räddningstjänstpersonal fram. Intervjuerna analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.  Resultat. Två huvudteman framkom i resultatet: Kännetecken på god kommunikation under samverkan och kännetecken på bristande kommunikation under samverkan. Skapandet av huvudteman gjordes utifrån åtta teman som formades utifrån deltagarnas beskrivningar av de Kritiska Incidenterna och deras hantering och beteende kring dessa incidenter. Slutsats. Det finns fördelar när ambulanspersonal och räddningstjänstpersonal arbetar på samma station. Fördelen med att känna varandra till namn ökar även förståelsen för varandras arbete och samverkan blir lättare. En väl fungerande kommunikation bidrar till ett effektivt teamarbete. I samband med större händelser ökar risken att kommunikationen fallerar. Det kan möjligtvis påverka patientomhändertagande. Att ha gemensamma utbildningsdagar där de olika yrkesgrupperna lär sig av varandra rekommenderas. Då det även tycks saknas forskning på området rekommenderas det.
Background. To provide safe care for patients, good communication between different professional caring groups is essential. Lack of communication is usually due to misunderstanding of the respective roles between involved professionals and disturbances in the environment where the communication is carried out. For a well-functioning collaboration between personnel in the ambulance and rescue services, good communication is of utmost importance.  Purpose. The purpose of the study was to investigate the experience nurses in the ambulance service have of communication with the rescue service during collaboration.  Method. A qualitative interview study with an inductive approach with eleven nurses active in the southern part of Sweden was conducted. By using the Critical Incident Technique, the nurses' experience and the handling of specific incidents related to communication with the emergency services were defined. The interviews were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis with the aim of creating categories and themes of the experiences. Results. Two main themes emerged: Characteristics of good communication during collaboration and characteristics of lack of communication during collaboration. The two main themes contained eight themes based on the participants' descriptions of the Critical Incidents and their handling and behavior around these incidents.  Conclusion. There are benefits when ambulance personnel and emergency services personnel work at the same station. The advantage of knowing each other by name also increases the understanding of each other's work and collaboration becomes easier. A well-functioning communication contributes to effective teamwork. In connection with major events, the risk of failure during communication increases. This may affect patient care. It is recommended to have joint practice where the different professional groups learn from each other. Further research in the field is recommended.

Abstract:

Sjuksköterskan i ambulanssjukvården ska snabbt och tillförlitligt utföra prehospitala bedömningar av medicinska tillstånd hos patienter. En bedömning av ett medicinskt tillstånd är en kontinuerlig process och utgår från patientens första symtom eller tecken, och ska klargöra de möjliga underliggande fysiologiska faktorerna till hur det uppkommit. Bedömningen är viktigt för att det medicinska tillståndet kan vara livshotande för patienten. I jämförelse med miljön på sjukhus är förutsättningarna annorlunda för att utföra bedömningar av medicinska tillstånd hos patienter i prehospital miljö. De prehospitala miljöerna är inte anpassade för att bedriva akutsjukvård och medicinska tillstånd hos patienter kan vara svårbedömda.

Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att bedöma medicinska tillstånd hos patienter i prehospital ambulanssjukvård.

Metoden var en kvalitativ intervjustudie med nio sjuksköterskor inom den prehospitala ambulanssjukvården. Intervjuerna har analyserats med innehållsanalys.

Resultatet redovisas i tre kategorier: Förmåga och ett behov av att identifiera kroppsliga tecken, behov av tillgång till hela människan och miljöns påverkan på bedömning samt de nio underkategorierna: medicinsk kunskap, diagnostiska instrument, kroppsundersökning, få tillgång till patientens värld, relationsbyggande, beroendeställning till patienten, yrkeserfarenhet, miljöns påverkan och anhöriga.

Resultatet visade på att sjuksköterskorna upplevde att det var viktigt för bedömningen att ha ett bra bemötande till patienten. De upplevde också att medicinska kunskaper, yrkeserfarenheter, diagnostiska instrument och en bedömningsstruktur var viktigt för bedömningen av ett medicinskt tillstånd. De upplevde även att det var en tillgång att utföra bedömningen i patientens hemmiljö. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde att bedömningen blev svårare om patienten var i ett berusat eller medvetslöst tillstånd. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde otrygghet i miljöer som var osäkra och stress om det var mycket människor i omgivningen där patienten skulle bedömas. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde en frustration över att inte känna sig tillräckliga i vårdsituationer där barn och anhöriga var i behov av ett omhändertagande i samband med patientens bedömning. Anhöriga upplevdes vara en tillgång för bedömningen när information skulle inhämtas om tillståndet hos patienten.

Slutsatsen blev att sjuksköterskorna upplevde det var viktigt att ha kunskap, bra bemötande, flexibilitet och uppmärksamhet vid bedömningen av det medicinska tillståndet hos patienten. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde att bedöma patienten utifrån ett sammanhang skapade information till bedömningen om det medicinska tillståndet hos patienten.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Omvårdnad ska bedrivas på individnivå med fokus på fysisk miljö, socialt stöd och de förmågor patienten själv har. Ambulanspersonal ska kunna upprätthålla en god omvårdnad, både fysik och psykisk, oavsett förutsättningar och arbetsmiljö. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar för att en säker och en hälsofrämjande miljö upprätthålls. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva omvårdnaden inom ambulanssjukvården under olika delar av dygnet. Metod: Denna studie är av kvalitativ design, och sammanlagt elva semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med grundutbildade sjuksköterskor samt sjuksköterskor med specialistutbildning mot ambulanssjukvård verksamma inom den prehospitala vården. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys har använts för att analysera det insamlade materialet. Huvudresultat: Omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården påverkas både positivt och negativt beroende på tiden av dygnet den utförs. Två teman framkom, vilka var Utföra god omvårdnad och Utföra bristande omvårdnad. Utifrån det första temat framkom det att omvårdnad under dagtid samt i början av arbetspass ansågs vara god, medan det utifrån det andra temat framkom att omvårdnaden under nattetid och i slutet av arbetspassen ansågs kunna bli bristfällig. Slutsats: Under vissa delar av dygnet utför ambulanspersonal bristande omvårdnad, som i sin tur kan leda till risker kring patientsäkerheten. Det är av stor vikt att ambulanspersonal ger en god omvårdnad dygnet runt. Detta för att kunna upprätthålla en god patientsäkerhet samt minimera potentiella risker för patienten.
Background: Nursing care should be conducted on an individual level with a focus on physical environment, social support and the patients own abilities. Ambulance staff should be able to give good care, both physical and mental, regardless preconditions and environment. The prehospital care is performed 24 hours a day. The nurse has a responsibility for ensuring that a health-promoting environment is maintained. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the ambulance care during different parts of the day. Method: This study has a qualitative approach. A total of eleven semi-structured interviews have been carried out with registered nurses and specialist nurses specializing in ambulance care active within the prehospital care. A qualitative content analysis has been used to analyze the collected material. Main result: The ambulance care was affected both positive and negative due to the time of the day it was performed. Two themes emerged from the result. The first was Perform good care and the second was Perform insufficient care. The first theme included that the ambulance care that was performed during day time and in the beginning of the shift was considered positive, while the second theme included ambulance care that was performed during night time and in the end of the shift was considered negative. Conclusion: During some parts of the day, ambulance staff perform inadequate care, which in turn can lead to patient safety risks. It is important that the ambulance staff provides good nursing 24 hours a day. This in order to maintain good patient safety and minimize potential risks to the patient.

Abstract:
Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly if they are able to offer specific technical capabilities within a market at lower cost, but broadly equal and effective to that offered by traditional products or services. Paramedics could be described in this way and are a newly professionalised group, with distinctive capabilities in terms of responding to the needs of not just the acutely ill and injured, but increasingly those patients with undifferentiated non-life- threatening conditions, which increasingly make up the bulk of 999 call demand. The key to their transition from an artisan, skilled worker to professional status is the acquisition of certain ‘hallmarks’. Perhaps the most important of these is the completion of more prolonged education that affords the opportunity to graduate with enhanced decision-making and other clinical skills in order to meet the needs of the full spectrum of patients in the pre-hospital setting. Paramedics were surveyed to determine how they rated their ‘traditional’ preparation and to establish what their attitudes were to a more educationally based approach. Paramedics themselves proved to be realistic regarding shortcomings in established training and education systems, while also being strongly motivated to learn more within a higher education setting, particularly if this additional effort would result in being able to offer a wider range of care to their patients. During the study, major changes in the health care environment and the role of the Ambulance Service took place, leading to a requirement to undertake a second phase of research. This took the form of ‘Horizon Scanning’ in an attempt to detect ‘signals’, themes and trends in relation to newly emerging ‘competitors’ to the paramedic role. These included nursing, new practitioners and most critically, the rapidly emerging medical sub-speciality of pre-hospital care, staffed by medical personnel on a pattern found specifically in some European countries, sometimes termed the ‘Franco-German’ model/System (FGM/S). Hitherto, the model of provision in the UK had followed the ‘Anglo-American’ model/System (AAM/S), approach, with paramedics providing direct patient care in the field and medical staff largely involved in medical oversight, teaching, clinical governance and other higher level roles. As part of this research, the evidence base for change was examined and consideration given to the factors that might help clarify what the likely situation could be in 2030 in respect of ambulance services, pre-hospital care and paramedics. This future is uncertain, but factors have been identified that would militate in favour of one or other model prevailing, with close links established between educational preparation, system design, career structure and the continuance of the professionalisation process favouring paramedic progression. However, other factors, most specifically professional power, the absence of a clear evidence base and an apparent reluctance to clearly acknowledge this in some respects, lead to the conclusion that the future of pre-hospital care remains uncertain and contested, but also potentially amenable to a well-directed influencing strategy.

Abstract:
AbstractThe emergency department of any institution is an entry point for a significant number of patients to any health care organization. The department caters to various trauma and medical emergencies in both adults and in children round the clock and is adequately staffed with emergency physicians, and nursing to handle such emergencies at all times and days. The department also oversees operations of the prehospital emergency medical services (ambulance) and coordinates their services.The emergency department (ED) is considered particularly high risk for adverse events (AE): 60% of ED patients experienced Medication Error (Patanwala et al., Ann Emerg Med 55:522–526, 2010). From a systematically review about AE related to ED, appears that the prevalence of AE among hospitalized patients ranging from 2.9% to 16.6%, with 36.9% to 51% of events considered preventable (Stang et al., PLoS One 8:e74214, 2013).Maintaining quality and developing error-free systems have been the focus of engineering over the last few decades.Consider the degree of variability of every individual human being compared to machine and also wisdoms from engineering field, for error-free system that guarantees good quality assistance should be defined a program reasonably simple, locally relevant, easily implementable, not be resource intense and have tangible outcomes which can be measured.

Abstract:
Zusammenfassung Die Ausgestaltung der Pflegeversicherung als nicht bedarfsdeckendes Teilleistungssystem steht zunehmend unter Reformdruck. Die pauschalierte Leistungsgewährung führt dazu, dass im stationären Sektor eine wachsende Lücke zwischen pflegebedingten Kosten und den Leistungen der Pflegeversicherung entsteht und im ambulanten Sektor aus dem gleichen Grund von einer kompensatorisch eingeschränkten Leistungsinanspruchnahme auszugehen ist. Beide Effekte werden zwar zu Recht als Problem des Umfangs der Versicherungsleistungen dargestellt, diese sind jedoch letztendlich Konsequenz einer fehlenden individuellen Bedarfsorientierung. Die Autoren schlagen daher vor, eine Finanzreform der Pflegeversicherung direkt mit einer Strukturreform zu verbinden, die eine bedarfsorientierte Pflege in jeder Wohnform ermöglicht. Hierzu ist es erforderlich, die übernahmefähigen Leistungen/Leistungsbereiche der Pflegeversicherung unabhängig vom Ort der Erbringung zu definieren und mit einem einheitlichen Preisschema zu hinterlegen. Anhand dieses Kataloges wird es möglich, die individuell bedarfsorientierte Leistungsmenge zu bemessen und den Pflegebedürftigen zuzuordnen. Dies kann zudem genutzt werden, um das Pflegegeld des heutigen Zuschnitts zu einem Cash-for-Care-System für die Pflegepersonen weiterzuentwickeln.

Abstract:
In this study, rovers of ambulances were identified and determined quickly and practically via ant colony optimization. Non-intuitive methods can also be used to determine the routing, but when the number of nodes is large, and the number of operations is very large, the heuristic methods are more practical. The purpose of this work is to use ant colony optimization via C# for ambulance routing. The patients were served as soon as possible thanks to ambulance routing. In this the effectiveness of the ambulance has been increased. In this study, 12 nodes were selected as an application. The nodes were used to determine the route of the ambulance in-home health care.

Abstract:
One night in early October 1997, Felipe G., a nine-year-old child of Dominican immigrants to New York City living in East Harlem, woke up struggling for breath. Felipe had had asthma attacks before, and his parents knew, or thought they knew, what to do: they called for an ambulance, which rushed him to the emergency room of Harlem Hospital nearby. But this time he stopped breathing on the way to the hospital, and could not be revived there. His younger sister Ana also has asthma, but so far has never had to go to the emergency room. The tenement building in which Felipe’s family lives is three blocks from the Harlem River Drive, a highway on which thousands of cars travel each workday, emitting, in spite of their catalytic converters, large quantities of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and incompletely combusted gasoline. Several blocks north is a parking garage for the diesel trucks of the New York City Department of Sanitation. The drivers of the trucks that use the lot often keep their motors idling, so that great quantities of diesel exhaust particles are emitted to the surrounding area. The Harlem district of New York City, inhabited mainly by African-Americans and Hispanics, is shielded to a large extent from the prevailing west winds by higher areas on the west side of Manhattan. Hence, air pollution produced within Harlem—for example, by cars, diesel trucks, and buses, and by an electric power generating plant located there—tends to remain longer than in other areas of the city. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection operated a network of air monitoring stations from the 1940s to the 1970s, during which time Harlem was consistently found to be the most polluted area in the city. It had then, and still has, one of the highest rates of hospitalization for asthma in the city. In most countries, asthma is more common among children of higher social class. In the United States this pattern is reversed: people living in the inner cities of the United States, mostly low-income minorities, have higher rates of asthma than other Americans.

Abstract:
Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and self-driving cars utilize visual sensors including cameras, Lidars and radars not only for localization and obstacle avoidance purposes but also to generate a 3D map of the surroundings. When an emergency vehicle — such as a fire truck or an ambulance — is approaching, self-driving cars are required to modify their path plan and find a safe spot rapidly. However early detection of a fast approaching emergency vehicle in urban environment is challenging with a visual perception system since it requires direct view without an obstacle in between. To improve the safety of self-driving cars, a localization algorithm is required to maximize the path modification time constraint as well as to minimize location and direction detection time, especially at an intersection in urban environments. To overcome this challenge, we mounted a transducer array on top of a mobile robot and applied beam forming algorithms to predict the location and velocity vector of the remote dynamic vehicle. Even with high uncertainty, this strategy improved time requirement of occupancy grid update which marks all possible unsafe areas to avoid a collision. Two experimental setups of controlled and uncontrolled environments were prepared. Followed by preliminary transducer characteristic analysis in an anechoic chamber, an outdoor experiment with two mobile robots are executed to benchmark the capability of signal processing techniques while both source and observer are in motion.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new bed stage for patients in ambulance vehicle in order to improve ride quality in term of vibration control. The vibration of patient compartment in ambulance can cause a secondary damage to a patient and a difficulty for a doctor to perform emergency care. The bed stage is to solve vertical, rolling, and pitching vibration in patient compartment of ambulance. Four MR (magneto-rheological) dampers are equipped for vibration isolation of the stage. Firstly, a mathematical model of stage is derived followed by the measurement of vibration level of patient compartment of real ambulance vehicle. Then, the design parameters of bed stage is undertaken via computer simulation. Skyhook, PID and LQR controllers are used for vibration control and their control performances are compared.

Abstract:
Medical care provided by mobile units can take a long time to reachthe requested location, either due to difficulty in accessing the location,speed of traffic or even the lack of available ambulances. Inorder for more people to be treated faster and effectively, whetherits an emergency or not, this paper presents a proposal of a systemthat requests remote assistance and sends the needed materials. Topropose requirements and build the system’s graphical interface,benchmarking and focus group techniques were used. The proposedhigh-fidelity prototype indicates how the system will allowremote care to be requested through a communication interfacewith Mobile Emergency Service (SAMU) and the Fire Department,which will request the sending of a drone with a first aid kit. Inaddition, the system will allow you to specify the service to beperformed and will assist in its execution remotely
