Abstract:
AbstractIntroduction:A multitude of life-threatening and nonlife-threatening processes cause chest pain and shortness of breath. Prehospital therapy for these patients may be lifesaving and includes pharmacologic interventions, as well as invasive procedures. Appropriate therapy depends on the diagnostic skills of the paramedic.Objective:This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of the paramedic diagnosis in patients transported with a chief complaint of pain or shortness of breath.Setting:Multihospital, one large municipal hospital, one community hospital.Design:Prospective, cross-sectional study. Paramedics evaluated the patient and then completed a standard form indicating the diagnosis. The paramedic's and final emergency physician's diagnoses were compared to assess the accuracy of the paramedic diagnosis.Population:All patients who complained of chest pain or shortness of breath, transported to the study centers by the city of Denver paramedia, were eligible for the study. Ninety-nine of the 102 patients enrolled had complete records for analysis and were entered into the study.Results:Diagnostic concordance data were analyzed by organ system (e.g., cardiac, pulmonary, etc.) and for specific diagnoses using the kappa statistic and McNemar's chi-square analysis for discordant pairs. Using the kappa statistic, there was statistically significant concordance between the paramedic and emergency-physician diagnosis for cardiac (p = 0.0001; kappa value = 0.54) and pulmonary organ systems (p = 0.0001; kappa value = 0.61). Overall, for organ system diagnosis, the paramedics had an 82% accuracy (p = 0.05) rating. For specific cardiac and pulmonary diagnosis, paramedics had good concordance with emergency physicians.Conclusions:Overall, paramedia have excellent diagnosis by organ system. They retained good agreement on specific cardiac diagnoses and pulmonary diagnosis.

Abstract:
ObjectivesWe set out to investigate paramedics’ views of ethics and research, drawing on experiences from Paramedic-2, a randomised controlled trial comparing epinephrine and placebo in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).MethodsAn interpretative phenomenological approach was adopted. A purposive sample of paramedics (n=6) from North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust were invited to a semi-structured, in-depth interview.ResultsThree superordinate themes emerged: (1) morality, (2) emotion and (3) equipoise. Some viewed Paramedic-2 as an opportunity to improve OHCA outcomes for the many, viewing participation as a moral obligation; others viewed the study as unethical, equating participation with immoral behaviour. Morality was a motivator to drive individual action. Positive and negative emotions were exhibited by the paramedics involved reflecting the wider view each paramedic held about trial participation. Those morally driven to participate in Paramedic-2 discussed their pride in being associated with the trial, while those who found participation unethical, discussed feelings of guilt and regret. Individual experience and perceptions of epinephrine guided each paramedic’s willingness to accept or reject equipoise. Some questioned the role of epinephrine in OHCA; others believed withholding epinephrine was synonymous to denying patient care.ConclusionA paucity of evidence exists to support any beneficial role of epinephrine in OHCA. Despite this, some paramedics were reluctant to participate in Paramedic-2 and relied on their personal perceptions and experiences of epinephrine to guide their decision regarding participation. Failure to acknowledge the importance of individual perspectives may jeopardise the success of future out-of-hospital trials.

Abstract:
Introduction:The mental health challenges encountered by paramedics have received much attention in recent years. This attention has particularly focused on high rates of stress, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This heightened awareness of the high incidence of mental illness, which has at times tragically resulted in the suicide of serving and former paramedics, is stimulating the address of mental health within the paramedic profession. It is now time to call on paramedic educators to prepare student paramedics for the mental health challenges associated with a career in the emergency medical services.Aim:To explore the preparedness of student paramedics for the mental health challenges of the paramedic profession and identify the coping strategies used by veteran paramedics to successfully meet these challenges.Methods:Twenty semi-structured interviews with veteran paramedics from Australia and New Zealand were conducted.Results:Advice from veteran paramedics was comprised of three key themes: support, health, and the profession.Discussion:The findings of the study indicate that the preparation of student paramedics for the mental health challenges of the paramedic profession throughout the undergraduate curriculum could be advantageous. The advice offered by veteran paramedics can be included within undergraduate paramedic curricula and delivered by sharing the personal experiences of the veteran paramedics. These experiences are highly credible and sharing them offers an opportunity for veterans to contribute positively to the future of paramedicine. Guidelines for their inclusion in the undergraduate paramedic curriculum should be prepared to facilitate knowledge translation and to encourage the development of conscious coping strategies by student paramedics during their learning phase. Further research is needed to raise awareness in this area, with a specific focus on preparing paramedic students to cope with mental health challenges related to undergraduate degree programs, and how they feel about commencing their career as a paramedic.

Abstract:
The chaotic health services due to paramedical doctoroid practices have an impact on legal and humanitarian issues. The existence of violation of the law by paramedic doctoroid actors is inseparable from the weakness of the legal system and structure in the world of medical health. This study aims to uncover paramedics who practice doctoroid practice on independent practice. Using the type of sociological legal research (sociolegal-research) that is descriptive analytical, with a critical study approach. Analysis of the results of the study showed that the practice of paramedic physoids was caused by the legal system starting from the substance of the law, legal structure and pathological legal culture. The types of physician practices carried out by paramedics include the practices of the authority of general practitioners, pediatricians, gynecologists, internists, cardiologists, dermatologists, surgeons and dentists. Doctoroid practice is a sub-standard health service which is actually a form of violation of the law in medical practice. Based on these conditions, then the form of transcendental-based legal protection as a solution. Transcendental-based legal protection is a preventive legal protection aimed at establishing a true legal perspective as a result of the process of internalizing divine revelation which is then objectified in the character of legal actors.Keywords: legal protection, paramedic doctoroid practice, transcendentalABSTRAKCarut marutnya pelayanan kesehatan akibat praktik dokteroid paramedis berdampak kepada persoalan hukum dan kemanusiaan.

Abstract:
Paramedic practice is evolving and the number of advanced paramedics in primary care roles in the UK has risen dramatically. Recent legislation granting paramedics independent prescribing rights means UK paramedics are the first worldwide to receive this extension in scope of practice – a significant milestone for the paramedic profession. Paramedic prescribing capability is expected to increase autonomy for independent case management and enhance capacity for service development. However, local and national success is likely to depend on skilful implementation and avoidance of historical barriers. This article aims to raise awareness of potential barriers to early adoption of paramedic independent prescribing in primary care. It identifies common pitfalls prior to training and provides seven practical steps for paramedics considering pursuing non-medical prescribing training.

Abstract:
A paramedic or health care provider is a health professional that provides rapid response, emergency medical assessment, treatment and care to critically ill patients1. The word Paramedic is a combination of two words; para means "along the side of" and medic means "physician", so a paramedic works as an extender of the physician. He works under the direct supervision of a medical expert and is considered a “delegated practitioner”. Paramedical service is crucial for the effective running of the modern health care system and is the lifeline of the health sector2. Paramedics are trained, equipped and required to give emergency services not just in form of first aids, but may also include medical attention that may not warrant taking the patients to the hospital3. Over the past decade, paramedic scope of practice and clinical responsibilities has expanded significantly. Advanced clinical interventions previously carried out by physicians such as ultrasound, thoracotomy and endotracheal intubation are now becoming part of the health care professional. This concentrated experience in the use of highly technical, mechanical and electronic equipment and their availability to the patient make such personnel indispensable as assistants to physicians4. The dynamic nature of paramedics in terms of clinical practice demands continuous recognition and evaluation of the literature. Active research is essential for the translation of evidence into practice and education and is an integral part of the modern paramedic programs offered within higher education institutions. Thus there is an urgent need to launch a peer review journal in the field of paramedics that will publish high standard scientific articles and will be available to researchers and institutes. The scope of this journal includes both basic and clinical research including original articles, reviews, clinical case presentations and case reports. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the disease and provide a reference for health professionals and researchers.

AbstractObjectiveTwo major processes underlie human decision-making: experiential (intuitive) and rational (conscious) thinking. The predominant thinking process used by working paramedics and student paramedics to make clinical decisions is unknown.MethodsA survey was administered to ground ambulance paramedics and to primary care paramedic students. The survey included demographic questions and the Rational Experiential Inventory-40, a validated psychometric tool involving 40 questions. Twenty questions evaluated each thinking style: 10 assessed preference and 10 assessed ability to use that style. Responses were provided on a five-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating higher affinity for the style in question. Analysis included both descriptive statistics and t tests to evaluate differences in thinking style.ResultsThe response rate was 88.4% (1172/1326). Paramedics (n=904) had a median age of 36 years (IQR 29–42) and most were male (69.5%) and primary or advanced care paramedics (PCP=55.5%; ACP=32.5%). Paramedic students (n=268) had a median age of 23 years (IQR 21–26), most were male (63.1%) and had completed high school (31.7%) or an undergraduate degree (25.4%) prior to paramedic training. Both groups scored their ability to use and favourability toward rational thinking significantly higher than experiential thinking. The mean score for rational thinking was 3.86/5 among paramedics and 3.97/5 among paramedic students (p<0.001). The mean score for experiential thinking was 3.41/5 among paramedics and 3.35/5 among paramedic students (p=0.06).ConclusionWorking paramedics and student paramedics prefer and perceive that they have the ability to use rational over experiential thinking. This information adds to our current knowledge on paramedic decision-making and is potentially important for developing continuing education and clinical support tools.

Abstract:
Purpose In North America, delegated practice “medical direction” models are often used as a proxy for clinical quality and safety in paramedic services. Other developed countries favor a combination of professional regulatory boards and clinical governance frameworks that feature paramedics taking lead clinician roles. The purpose of this paper is to bring together the evidence for medical direction and clinical governance in paramedic services through the prism of paramedic self-regulation. Design/methodology/approach This narrative synthesis critically examines the long-established North American Emergency Medical Services medical direction model and makes some comparisons with the UK inspired clinical governance approaches that are used to monitor and manage the quality and safety in several other Anglo-American paramedic services. The databases searched were CINAHL and Medline, with Google Scholar used to capture further publications. Findings Synthesis of the peer-reviewed literature found little high quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of medical direction. The literature on clinical governance within paramedic services described a systems approach with shared responsibility for quality and safety. Contemporary paramedic clinical leadership papers in developed countries focus on paramedic professionalization and the self-regulation of paramedics. Originality/value The lack of strong evidence supporting medical direction of the paramedic profession in developed countries challenges the North American model of paramedics practicing as a companion profession to medicine under delegated practice model. This model is inconsistent with the international vision of paramedicine as an autonomous, self-regulated health profession.

Abstract:
Paramedics are responsible for the care of patients requiring emergency assistance in the out of hospital setting. These health care providers need to make many decisions during the course of an emergency call. This thesis on paramedic clinical decision-making includes two studies, intended to determine which decisions paramedics make that are most important for patient safety and clinical outcome, and what thinking strategies paramedics rely on to make decisions. Forty-two decisions were found to be most important for outcome and safety. The highest decision density of an emergency call is during the on-scene treatment phase. Paramedics use a mix of thinking strategies, including rule out worst scenario, algorithmic, and exhaustive thinking. The results of these studies have implications for future research, paramedic practice and training.

Abstract:
Paramedic science students undergo additional clinical training in hands-on skills and clinical reasoning by attending clinical placements. Little is known of the efficacy of paramedic clinical placements or the student’s clinical reasoning skills during training. This study documents the paramedic placement experience and the clinical reasoning responses of paramedic science students. Two instruments were introduced: the Clinical Placement Questionnaire (CPQ), which measures placement experiences; and the Sequence of Learning Instrument (SOLI) and accompanying plotting technique, which allow mapping of clinical reasoning and responding. Clinical placement should provide a positive and enjoyable learning environment that supports the development of clinical reasoning, and clinical reasoning and responding should proceed sequentially in line with clinical practice guidelines. The study comprises Part 1–Clinical placement, a cross-sectional study using quantitative and qualitative methods concurrently; and Part 2–Clinical reasoning, an analytical cross-sectional study using qualitative (interview) methods with repeated measures to counterbalance two mock emergency call-out conditions: pain and MVA trauma.

Abstract:
This research seeks to identify the knowledge, skills, personal qualities and understanding underpinning expert practice in response to emergency calls, the core role of the paramedic, and to explore how paramedics believe their expertise was a role I developed. In-depth interviews grounded in recalled incidents (calls) were employed to generate data from which deductions were made about the underlying capabilities and guiding principles of the work of paramedics. This was supplemented by a questionnaire and the data analysed using a range of theoretical lenses. Responding to a call is described through a sequential series of key activities that, in practice, merge into each other, often in an iterative way: information gathering, managing situations and people and treating patients. Such a description leads to an identification of expertise used in the early stages of responding to a call, such as focusing on reducing and managing ambiguity through the utilisation of situated knowledge to generate tentative hypotheses about the nature of the call and the development of initial plans for action. Such hypotheses are left open and modifiable in the light of new information actively sought by the expert practitioner and are guided by capabilities such as: communication, planning and organising, decision making / problem solving and learning from experience. Additionally, expert paramedic practice is characterised by high levels of resilience and flexibility needed to leave plans incomplete for further development in the heat of practice. This thesis therefore characterises the expertise underpinning the work of experienced paramedics in a way that transcends attempts to describe paramedic practice through lists of skills, knowledge or competencies to be acquired. In so doing the thesis contributes to the evidence base about the knowledge and skill used by paramedics in practice, and how and where this is developed.

Abstract:
During the first aid process, when patients are threatened by poor medical conditions, ambulance paramedics are required to administer emergency treatment based on instruc- tions provided by a remote emergency doctor through voice communication. However, such voice communication is always limited in expressing abundant detailed information for the patient. This thesis presents a framework for a stereoscopic and intelligent telemedicine sys- tem that can provide 3D live video communication between paramedics and emergency doctors. The proposed system captures 3D video from the paramedic headset carried by the paramedics, transmits the video through wireless live streaming, and displays the video with a 3D effect for emergency doctors in the hospital. The video can be analyzed to extract information about the patient through embedded algorithm such as face de- tection algorithm. In this thesis, the hardware, functional mechanism and face detection algorithm are introduced separately. The hardware of the system consists of a paramedic headset, a server box and a 3D PC, which are used to capture 3D video, transmit video through live streaming and display video with a stereo effect, respectively. The functional mechanism includes two subsystems, which work for pushing the stereo video to multiple live streams and displaying the 3D video from the live stream. In order to detect the patient information from the video, a multi-task face detection algorithm is applied to analyze the stereo video using deep learning technology. We improved the neural networks of face detection by utilizing 1 ⇥ 1 convolutional layers and retrain the network based on the transfer learning to achieve better and faster performance. This system has achieved good and stable performance in network delay (0.0489ms) and objective video quality evaluations. The face detection algorithm has achieved no- table accuracy (91.78% In FDDB dataset) and efficiency (19.71 ms/frame).

Abstract:
A theory-practice gap has previously been proposed as existing in paramedic education. This proposal has been based on the literature, predominantly drawn from nursing, which describes the phenomenon as being a detrimental lack of congruence between the theory that is taught in the classroom and the experiences of students in the practice environment. This submission proposes, rather, that there is a 'paramedic praxis' where the relationship between theory and practice is such that the 'gaps' discussed in the nursing literature do not manifest in the same, potentially problematic, way. Paramedic students' views of theory were found to be centred around the components of their programme taught at university, including simulated practice and procedural approaches to skills-based interventions. Practice was predominantly seen as engaging with 'real' patients in the out-of-hospital environment, where theory was utilised in varying degrees based on the curriculum area to which the theory related. Practice was also considered by some participants to include university-based practical workshops and simulation exercises. Therefore, the resultant views of theory and practice included 'border areas' where no discrete delineation could be found to exist between the two concepts. Paramedic students perceived varying degrees of inconsistency when relating their practice-based experiences to the theoretical components of their programme. These inconsistencies were found to be due predominantly to the contextual and situational challenges associated with the undertaking of paramedic practice, challenges which were considered by the students to be an expected part of practice-based learning and not detrimental to their learning experience. There was found to be a clear appreciation among students that theory can never be exactly matched by their experiences of practice, and not all aspects of practice-based experiences can be fully 'unpicked' by reviewing the associated theory, particularly when considering aspects of practice related to the social sciences. Paramedic Practice Educators considered themselves to be a catalyst for learning, a view shared by their students who considered that the role was of greatest benefit when the Practice Educator was an active, engaged partner in the learning process. Learning was, however, also found to have taken place in the absence of an actively engaged Practice Educator. The model of Paramedic Praxis developed through this research has informed the implementation of practices to enhance existing undergraduate paramedic and Practice Educator educational programmes. The model has been utilised when preparing students for practice placements with greater attention being given to encouraging students to better prepare themselves to make the links between theory and practice. Approaches to reflection and reflective practice have been made more practical and applicable to the realities of practice-based learning, supporting students to enter the practice environment with a clearer individual strategy of learning already considered. Practice Educator education has also been developed, both locally and nationally. The model of Paramedic Praxis has informed the development of curricula for academically accredited, paramedic-specific, Practice Educator short courses. The Zip Analogy component of the model has been incorporated as a core concept by the College of Paramedics in its promotion of the role of the Practice Educator as a facilitator of learning. Continued development of these approaches, based on the findings of this research, will go to supporting the development of student paramedics into lifelong learners who will, themselves, become the Practice Educators of the future.

Abstract:
Community paramedicine is an evolving specialist stream of paramedic practice and aims to provide patients in the community with options to navigate more efficiently the healthcare system and avoid unnecessary presentations to a hospital emergency department. This study examined the transition of paramedics from a work role in traditional paramedicine to a specialist work role in community paramedicine. The unique knowledge generated by this study allows for additional targeted intervention points for paramedics to better engage in the transition process and may decrease the time frame to deploy high-quality and ready-to-work paramedics in the community.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Hand hygiene was the most straightforward and most effective behavior to prevent nosocomial infection. Doing hand-hygiene in 5 moments must be endeavored to improve the quality of service in the hospital. Hospitals must have a PPI team where the Infection Prevention and Control Link Nurse (IPCLN) is part of the structure. The availability of facilities in the hospital is needed to support hand hygiene behavior. This study aimed to know the effect of IPCLN supervision and facilities’ availability on paramedical hand hygiene behavior at Hanau Hospital. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional conducted at Hanau Hospital, Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan. A sample of 83 paramedics at Hanau Hospital was selected for this study by total sampling. The dependent variable was the behavior of hand hygiene paramedic. The independent variable was IPCLN supervision and the availability of facilities. The data were collected by questionnaire. The data was analyzed by Chi Square. Results: The respondents in this study were 67.5% women, 72.3% were under 30 years old, 74.7% had a Diploma-III education, and 69.9% worked less than 5 years. The supervision carried out by IPCLN (OR = 35.25; CI: 4.36 to 258.22), and the availability of facilities (OR = 24.35; CI: 5.10 to 116.26) was statistically significant (p <0.001). Variables that influence the behavior of paramedic hand hygiene at Hanau Hospital are supervision of the IPCLN towards paramedics (B = 2.86; OR = 17.42; 95% CI= 1.94 to 156.78; p= 0.011) together with the variable availability of facilities (B = 2.62; OR = 13.69; 95% CI= 2.62 to 71.49; p= 0.002). Conclusion: The supervision of IPCN and the availability of facilities affect the hand hygiene behavior of paramedics at Hanau Hospital.
