Abstract:

Considerable variation exists in the type and quality of interventions carried out on victims of major trauma in the pre-hospital phase of care. One model of care consists of high level interventions delivered by a doctor-led team. Examining two controversial areas of treatment (traumatic cardiac arrest and advanced airway management), this thesis set out to determine the quality and potential shortfalls of current practice and how they might be improved. A systematic review of traumatic cardiac arrest survival confirmed that outcome was historically very poor. A study of the largest series of

Abstract:

The objectives of this observational study were to describe and evaluate the impact of emergency services on trauma mortality in Montreal. Urgences-Sante provides pre-hospital care in the greater Montreal region. Physicians provide on-scene care including advanced life support (ALS). Basic life support (BLS) is provided by emergency medical technicians or physicians. The study was conducted over a one-year period from April 1, 1987 to March 31, 1988.<br>The results of this study showed that the response and total pre-hospital times of Urgences-Sante were similar to those in other North America

Abstract:

Asthma is a leading cause of pediatric hospital admissions. Parents of children under the age of 18 with asthma require education to recognize and manage the signs and symptoms of the disease. Parent education has shown to decrease their children's hospital admission and readmission rates. The purpose of this pilot project was to develop an asthma educational module for the parents of children with asthma and obtain parent feedback on the content. Families with children under the age of 18 who had been admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of asthma, an asthma exacerbation, or status asthm

Abstract:

Patients are injected with anesthetics to produce analgesia, amnesia, and arreflexia for many different reasons such as surgery, invasive procedures, and emergency interventions; one anesthetic induction technique is rapid sequence intubation (RSI). The RSI technique is performed to safely control the airway in patients needing immediate airway management. A particular induction anesthetic with increased use in the pre-hospital arena is ketamine. In October 2016, Ketamine was added to the RSI protocol of one pre-hospital organization whereby providers can use ketamine as an induction agent. P

Four phases of work were undertaken using both qualitative and quantitative methods to build an understanding of the complex nature of pre-hospital clinical reasoning. A novel scale, the DMASC survey was developed, which indicated four factors influence decision-making in this context.

South African incidence of rape ranks amongst the highest worldwide. No direct policy exists for the emergency care provider management of rape victims in the pre-hospital setting. The pre-hospital exposure to rape cases is unknown as its health information system is not gender-based violence sensitive. In the absence of a clearly defined protocol, indiscretion in the emergency care treatment of rape victims remains undocumented. As a particularly vulnerable group globally, victims of rape are deserving of focused intervention. A qualitative, descriptive approach guided the research in which n

In 2006, computerized radiography (CR) was introduced at The Nairobi Hospital to try and reduce the film reject rate, decrease repeats, reduce financial costs of consumables like x-ray films and processing chemicals. However, to date, no formal film reject analysis has been conducted at The Nairobi Hospital. Four years after

Abstract:

Introduction: Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by hypersecretion of PTH leading to hypercalcaemia with successful surgery being the only definitive cure. Broadly, three techniques of parathyroidectomy exist: open bilateral neck exploration and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which is subdivided into open focused approaches and endoscopic focused approaches. A focused parathyroid gland exploration guided by pre-operative imaging is associated with less morbidity compared to a bilateral approach. Focused explorations may target either the side or the specific parathyro

Abstract:

Sammanfattning Introduktion; Barn utgör en tredjedel av alla icke-planerade vårdtillfällen i Sverige. Sjuksköterskor verksamma inom denna kontext kommer därför möta både barn och deras föräldrar. Föräldrar vill närvara som stöd och tröst till sitt barn vid omvårdnadssituationer. Barnets ålder och tidigare erfarenheter påverkar barnets upplevelse vid omvårdnad. Familjefokuserad omvårdnad är ett begrepp som sjuksköterskor kan använda sig utav för att tillgodose barnet med viktiga resurser. Syfte; Syftet beskriver sjuksköterskors uppfattningar gällande föräldrars påverkan på omvårdnadssituationen

Abstract:

BackgroundThe prompt seeking of medical care after the onset of symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes (ACS)/acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with the receipt of coronary reperfusion therapy, and effective cardiac medications in patients with an ACS/AMI and is crucial to reducing mortality and the risk of serious clinical complications in these patients. Despite declines in important hospital complications and short-term death rates in patients hospitalized with an ACS/AMI, several patient groups remain at increased risk for these adverse outcomes, including women and t

Abstract:

According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance is a current serious global threat, in which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are the most concerning bacteria. These microorganisms have developed resistance mechanisms towards antibiotics and so infections caused by them have since been becoming more difficult to treat. After being established in the healthcare setting, they have emerged in the community. Since it is where the population meets the healthcare personnel, the pre-hospital setting, namely th
