Low titer O+ whole blood (LTO+WB) has been shown to improve outcomes in trauma patients and use is increasingly common. Studies on prehospital efficacy have published throughout the literature, but few of these fully address risks transfusion reactions other side effects. The focus this study look at LTO+WB transfusions review for reactions. This was a retrospective consecutive who received over 4.5-year period. We used EMS agency records institutional bank data from two urban level I...
The National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians (NAEMSP) advocates for (EMS) to play an integral role in all phases disaster management –preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. An inherently strong EMS system mitigates some the negative impacts by supporting a more resilient population robust response capability. must be sustainable resource that is able continue provide care community even after response.

Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of death and morbidity in the United States. Quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has proven to be key factor improving survival. The aim our study was investigate outcomes OHCA when mechanical CPR (LUCAS 2 Chest Compression System™) utilized compared conventional CPR. Although controlled trials have not demonstrated survival benefit routine use devices, there continues an interest for their OHCA. Methods: We...
To evaluate the Shock Index (SI) as a predictive tool for triage of gastrointestinal bleeding (GI) in prehospital setting, assessing its correlation with mortality, admission rates, and hospital length stay.
Studies comparing police, privately owned vehicle (POV), and ground Emergency Medical Services (GEMS) trauma transports reveal mixed results. It remains unclear whether using nonstandard transport methods may be beneficial in the setting of certain injuries. We sought to determine 24-h survival after by police or POV when compared GEMS. analyzed data from Trauma Quality Improvement Program datasets 2020 2022 for patients arriving scene POV, The primary outcome was survival. Multivariable...
A 10-year-old female presented with atraumatic bilateral mandibular swelling. Through imaging and exam she was found to have pneumoparotid.
