We report data from the first Utstein-style study of physician-provided pre-hospital advanced airway management. Anaesthesiologists eight critical care teams in Central Denmark Region (a mixed rural and urban region with 1.27 million inhabitants) prospectively registered according to template for reporting Data collection took place February 1st 2011 October 31st 2012. Included were patients all ages on whom management was performed. The objective estimate incidences failed difficult...
BackgroundPre-hospital tracheal intubation success and complication rates vary considerably among provider categories. The purpose of this study was to estimate the pre-hospital performed by physician anaesthetist or nurse critical care teams.MethodsData were prospectively collected from teams staffed with a according Utstein template for advanced airway management. patients served six ambulance helicopters rapid response vehicles in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden May 2015 November 2016...
Abstract Background COVID-19, the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, is challenging healthcare systems worldwide. Little known about problems faced emergency medical services—particularly helicopter services—caring for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients. We aimed to describe issues air ambulance services in Europe as they transport potential Methods Nine different HEMS providers seven countries across were invited share their experiences and report data...
A national Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) was introduced in Denmark 2014 to ensure the availability of physician-led critical care for all patients regardless location. Appropriate dispatch HEMS is known be complex, and resource utilisation a highly relevant topic. Population-based studies on patient characteristics are fundamental when evaluating optimising system. The aim this study describe population treated by Danish terms demographics, pre-hospital diagnostics, severity...
The Danish Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) is part of the pre-hospital response offering advanced patient care on scene and during rapid transport to definitive care. Monitoring HEMS performance quality critical has high national as well international priority underlining need for research in this field. data database unknown. Furthermore, a set indicators (QI) developed by an collaboration group (EQUIPE) potentially use physician-staffed EMS, recently been presented. aim current...
Pre-hospital endotracheal intubation is challenging and repeated associated with increased morbidity mortality. We investigated whether the introduction of McGrath MAC video laryngoscope as primary device for pre-hospital could improve first-pass success rate in our anaesthesiologist-staffed critical care services. also incidence failed intubation, use airway adjuncts back-up devices problems encountered using laryngoscope. Prospective quality improvement study collecting data from all adult...
Abstract Background The extent to which Point-of-care of ultrasound (POCUS) is used in different European helicopter EMS (HEMS) unknown. We aimed study the availability, perception, and future aspects POCUS HEMS using an online survey. Method A survey about use was conducted by a multinational steering expert committee carried out from November 30, 2020 December via web portal. Invitations for participation were sent email medical directors organizations including two reminding notes....
Guidelines recommend that patients with brain trauma a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of less than 9 should have an airway established. Hypoxia, hypotension and hypertension as well hypoventilation hyperventilation may worsen outcome in these patients.The objectives were to investigate guideline adherence, reasons for nonadherence the incidences complications related prehospital advanced management traumatic injury.We prospectively collected data from eight anaesthesiologist-staffed critical...
The ability of standard operating procedures to improve pre-hospital critical care by changing physician behaviour is uncertain. We report data from a prospective quality control study the effect on anaesthesiologists' implementing procedure for controlled ventilation. Anaesthesiologists eight teams in Central Denmark Region prospectively registered advanced airway-management according Utstein-style template. collected pre-intervention February 1st 2011 January 31st 2012, implemented 2012...
Pre-hospital advanced airway management has been named one of the top-five research priorities in physician-provided pre-hospital critical care. Few studies have made on paediatric management. The aim this study was to investigate endotracheal intubation success rate children, first-pass rates and complications related patients younger than 16 years age treated by care teams Central Denmark Region (1.3 million inhabitants).A prospective descriptive based data collected from eight...
Prehospital advanced airway management, including prehospital endotracheal intubation is challenging and recent papers have addressed the need for proper training, skill maintenance quality control emergency medical service personnel. The aim of this study was to provide data regarding management-training expertise from regional physician-staffed (EMS). EMS in part Central Region Denmark a two tiered system. second tier comprises physician staffed Mobile Emergency Care Units. directors...
<h3>Importance</h3> Appropriate use of helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) is important in ensuring that patients with critical illness or injury receive adequate treatment. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the association between HEMS compared ground EMS (GEMS) and mortality overall a subgroup injury. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This register-based, nationwide cohort study used data retrieved from Danish registries October 1, 2014, to April 30, 2018. Patients receiving...
The aim of this study was to investigate if an initial ETCO2 value at or below 1.3 kPa can be used as a cut-off for whether return spontaneous circulation during pre-hospital cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is achievable not.We prospectively registered data according the Utstein-style template reporting from advanced airway management February 1st 2011 October 31st 2012. Included were consecutive patients all ages with cardiac arrest treated by eight anaesthesiologist-staffed critical care...
Objectives A consensus study from 2017 developed 15 response-specific quality indicators (QIs) for physician-staffed emergency medical services (P-EMS). The aim of this was to test these QIs important characteristics in a real clinical setting. These were feasibility, rankability, variability, actionability and documentation. We further aimed propose benchmarks future measurements P-EMS. Design In prospective observational study, helicopter registered data the QIs. feasibility assessed based...
Objective To describe characteristics and outcomes for patients where the Danish Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) either transported patient to hospital, treated on scene but did not transport or was dispatched cancelled en route (aborted mission), assess field triage by comparing these outcomes. Design National population-based study. Setting participants HEMS dispatches are undertaken from five emergency dispatch medical centres according national guidelines. The study analysed...
We report prospectively recorded observational data from consecutive cases in which the attending pre-hospital critical care anaesthesiologist considered performing advanced airway management but decided to withhold such interventions.Anaesthesiologists eight teams Central Denmark Region (a mixed rural and urban region with 1.27 million inhabitants) registered February 1st 2011 October 31st 2012. Included were patients of all ages for whom not performed. The main objectives investigate (1)...
Abstract Backgrounds Team leadership skills of physicians working in high-performing medical teams are directly related to outcome. It is currently unclear how these can best be developed. Therefore, this multi-national cross-sectional prospective study, we explored the development relation physician-, organization- and training characteristics Helicopter Emergency Medicine Service (HEMS) from services Europe, United States America Australia.
