Full textIntroduction: In 10 % of all ambulance missions in Uppsala the patients are left at home by the ambulance staff. There are few studies made that investigates patients participation in the decision to be left at home. Aim: To study patients' perceptions of participation in the meeting with the ambulance staff and in the decision to be left at home by the ambulance staff in Uppsala county. Method: A retrospective questionnaire survey with quantitative approach in which the answers were collected by telephone. A total of 84 patients participated (answering frequency 64 %). Result: The majority of patients responded that they felt they participated in the meeting with the ambulance staff and in the decision to be left at home. The patients who responded that the ambulance staff took the decision that they would stay at home responded, to a significantly lower degree, that they felt involved in the decision to stay at home (p<0.001). The patients who sought care within 24 hours after the meeting with the ambulance staff responded, to a significantly lower degree, that they felt they participated compared to those who had not sought care (p=0.002). Conclusion: The patients who don’t feel involved in the meeting with the ambulance staff seeks in higher extent new healthcare within a day. Sufficient time must be taken to make accurate assessments and get the patients to feel involved. More studies of situations where patients are left at home and then seek new care instance of the same cause within a day is needed to get better understanding, and thereby reduce situations where patients unnecessarily seek new healthcare or avoid the right care is delayed in urgent conditions.

Full textIntroduction: The medical transport of critically ill children involves characteristics that increase the risk of complications, which can contribute to an increase in length of stay and mortality. Objectives: To evaluate the frequency and type of complications observed during the pre-hospital and inter-hospital transport of critically ill children, as well as the impact of these complications on mortality, length of hospital stay and hospital costs. Patients and Methods: A study carried out in two stages: the first was a cross-sectional study where through a standardized interview with the doctor who admitted the critically ill children requiring pre-hospital or inter-hospital transport identified and characterized possible complications during this transport. These data were audited by three independent doctors who defined the presence or absence of complications during transport. The second stage consists of a prospective cohort study, where patients divided into two groups (with and without complications during transportation) were followed prospectively for 60 days observing the occurrence of death or hospital discharge. Results: We included 143 children in the study. At least one complication during transportation was observed in 74 patients (52%). The most frequent complications have been associated with airway (69%), followed by metabolic disorders (47%), cardiovascular disorders (40%) and failure in the device and monitoring (37%). In the uni-variate analysis, the following predictors for the occurrence of complications during transport were observed: weight <10 kg (relative risk - RR: 1.52; 95% confidence interval - CI: 1.11-2.09); distance greater than 100 km (RR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.16-2.40); presence of respiratory disease (RR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.06-1.95) and associated comorbidity (RR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.23- 2.30). In the multivariate analysis, no independent predictors were observed for the occurrence of complications. The occurrence of complications during transport was associated with higher hospital mortality (hazard ratio - HR: 5.668; 95% CI: 1.26-26.65; p=0.0130) and a lower hospital discharge rate (HR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.31-0.74; p=0.0007). After Cox regression to adjust for potential confounding factors, the presence of complications during transport remained associated with hospital mortality (HR: 6.74; IC 95%: 1.40-32.34; p=0.017), however, was not associated with hospital discharge rates (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.49-1.16; p=0.213). Conclusions: The complications were common during pediatric transport. Distance greater than 100 km, presence of respiratory disease, associated comorbidity and weight <10 kg were risk predictors for occurrence of complications. Complications during pediatric transport were associated with increased hospital mortality rates.

Full textAmbulanssjukvård bedrivs både på hämtplats och under transporten till mottagande enhet. Detta medför att personalen utför vårdåtgärder i vårdutrymmet under transporten enligt tidigare forskning sker detta ofta utan att personalen använder sig av bilbältet.
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ambulanspersonalens upplevelser av trafiksäkerheten i vägburna ambulanser.
Metoden har varit intervjuer med semistrukturerade frågor samt en öppen fråga. Intervjuerna har genomförts med ambulanspersonalen i deras arbetsmiljö, det vill säga ambulansens vårdutrymme. Intervjuerna har sammanställts och en innehållsanalys har gjorts på den öppna frågan.
Resultatet visar att personalen inte använder säkerhetsutrustningen i den utsträckning som de borde och vill göra. Arbetsmiljön och patientens tillstånd var helt avgörande. Personalen satte sin egen säkerhet åt sidan och fokuserade helt på patienten och dennes behov. Personalen upplevde dock att patienterna var trygga i vårdutrymmet.
Enligt flera forskare så har problemet med bilbältesanvändning i vårdutrymmet uppmärksammats under flera år. Men inga nya metoder eller idéer har anammats. Denna studies resultat förväntas öka förståelsen för den problematik som finns med att arbeta i ambulansens vårdutrymme på ett för personalen säkert sätt.
Prehospital care is carried out on the scene and during transport to a reciving unit. Thus, the ambulance staff is performing care assignment in the patient compartment during transport. According to prior research, the care is often made by the attending personal not using the seatbelts.
The aim of this study was to examine the ambulance staff´s experiences of traffic saftey in the patient compartment in a road ambulance.
The method used was semi structured interviews and one open question. The interviews have been carried out in the ambulance staff own working environment, the patient compartment. The interviews were put together and the open question was analysed by means of a qualitative content analysis.
The result shows that the ambulance staff did not use the saftey equipment in the patient compartment to the extent they should and whished to do. The working environment and the patient´s condition were the reason for not using seatbelts. The ambulance staff put their own saftey a side, and focused completley on the patient and his or her needs. However, the ambulance staff felt that the patient was safe in the patient compartment.
Several studies have previously shown that there is a problem with the lack of use of seatbelts in the patient compartment. However, no new ideas or method for consistent use of seatbelts has been adopted. The result of this study should increase awareness for the complex problems concerning work saftey for ambulance staff in the patient compartment.

Full textBackground: According to statistics, ambulance emergency were increased but the density decreases, which requires a well-functioning prioritization of patients seeking emergency care from the central station. Those who are not in need of urgent ambulance transport to the hospital to be redirected to seek other care medical center or stay at home with self-care. Purpose: is to compare patients with the same ESS Code of ambulance records that are either transported to a hospital or keeping people with self-care at priority alarm. Method: A retrospective case-control study with a quantitative approach. A medical record review of 139 included ambulance records from southern Sweden. Results: The proportion of priority a mission in which the patient was at home with self-care in this study were 193 pieces, 7.2 per cent. Based on the results, there were no differences in age between patients who remained and was transported by ambulance to the emergency room and hospital. There were also no significant differences between the sexes based on time of day. However, there was a significant difference as regards the distance to the hospital. For patients who lived ≤ 8 km radius of a hospital stayed 83st (59.7%) remain in the home with self-care. For patients with ≥ 8 km from the hospital stayed 106 (76.3%) remain in the home with self-care. Total of patients transported consistent monitoring center index with the ambulance nurse ESS Code at 52%. For patients who were able to remain in the home was the consistency 42% between the central station's index and the ambulance nurse ESS. Conclusion: The study did not demonstrate a difference between gender and time of the transported toward those who could stay at home, however, there was a significant difference in the number of patients who were transported and could stay home, depending on the distance between their accommodation and hospitals. Although there was an improvement in potential between SOS Index and the ambulance nurse ESS code. For ambulance nurse, it is important to treat all patients equally regardless of external factors, in this study revealed that the distance had a meaning. This we get that ambulance nurses bring to us and not let be crucial for the care we decide to give.

Full textBackground: The pre-hospital work is challenging in terms of combining apatient-safe care work and professional driving. The care room in an ambulance is a risky environment both when the car is parked on an accident site and when it is rolling. Traffic safety in ambulance care is therefore a crucial factor for patient safety and the ambulance nurse's work environment. If this safety fails, the patient risks being exposed to a suffering patient and the ambulance nurse for a work environment injury. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to describe the ambulance nurses experiences and perceptions of the safety belts use on the patient during ambulance transport and in this way increase compliance with seat belt use. Method: A qualitative interview study was conducted with individual interviews. Qualitative content analysis with inductive approach was used as analysis method. Result: The analysis resulted in 5 categories that formed the results headings “the importance of the belt”, “weaknesses and deficiencies”, “obstacles to safety belts”, “work environment and safety” and “collaboration between driver and carer”. Conclusion: From the results of the study, it could be concluded that the seat belt use in the ambulance has great improvement potential and that experience and perception go in particular with the reality. The result also shows the reasons for a lack of belt use that is most common and suggestions for how to deal with these. The fact that the safety belt use for the patients in the ambulance is brought up for discussion is of great importance for promoting patient safety and the ambulance nurses working environment. In order to increase adherence to seat belt use, it is of value that several studies in addition to this are carried out on the basis of different perspectives, forexample the
