<h3>Objectives</h3> In countries with ageing populations, home care (HC) aides are among the fastest growing jobs. There few quantitative studies of HC occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions. The objectives this study were to: (1) assess quantitatively OSH hazards benefits for a wide range working conditions, (2) compare experiences who employed via different medical social services systems in Massachusetts, USA. <h3>Methods</h3> recruited survey agencies that employ schedule their...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the feasibility of pre‐hospital blood culture (BC) collection and intravenous (IV) antibiotic administration in patients with suspected sepsis. Methods In this open‐label trial, BCs were collected all participants, who then randomised to ongoing care (control) or plus 2 g IV ceftriaxone (intervention). Time was primary outcome. Results Thirty‐five enrolled (21 control, 14 intervention). obtained 89% ( n = 31/35) grew a pathogen 42% 13/31). Intervention received...
To describe the First Responder Shock Trial (FIRST), which aims to determine whether equipping frequently responding, smartphone-activated (GoodSAM) first responders with an ultraportable AED can increase 30-day survival rates in OHCA.The FIRST trial is investigator-initiated, bi-national (Victoria, Australia and New Zealand), registry-nested cluster-randomised controlled where unit of randomisation responder. High-frequency GoodSAM are randomised 1:1 receive ultraportable, single-use or...
Background Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to poor outcomes in many conditions. It is unknown whether these disparities extend individuals presenting with dyspnoea. We aimed evaluate the relationship between SES and incidence, care quality among patients attended by emergency medical services (EMS) for Methods This population-based cohort study included consecutive EMS dyspnoea 1 January 2015 30 June 2019 Victoria, Australia. Data were obtained from individually ambulance,...
Abstract Objectives There are currently limited data to inform the management of patients transported by emergency medical services (EMS) with dyspnoea. We aimed describe incidence, aetiology and outcomes EMS for dyspnoea using a large population‐based sample identify factors associated 30‐day mortality. Methods Consecutive attendances in Victoria, Australia from January 2015 June 2019 were included. Data individually linked hospital mortality records determine diagnoses, outcomes. Factors...
Patients with shock treated by emergency medical services (EMS) have high morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of prehospital factors predicting outcomes in patients remains limited. We aimed to describe the predictors mortality non-traumatic transported hospital EMS.
Abstract Aims Risk-standardized mortality rates (RSMR) have been used to monitor hospital performance in procedural and disease-based registries, but limitations include the potential promote risk-averse clinician decisions a lack of assessment whole patient journey. We aimed determine whether it is feasible use RSMR at symptom-level using routinely collected, linked, clinical administrative data chest pain presentations. Methods results included 192 978 consecutive adult patients (mean age...
<h3>Background and objectives</h3> Due to a rapidly ageing population, homecare (HC) aide is one of the fastest growing occupations in USA. Exposures occupational safety health (OSH) hazards are challenging evaluate complex home-based care environments among mobile, socially diverse workforce. This presentation demonstrates how qualitative quantitative research methods complement each other when assessing characterising (i) multiple OSH (ii) possible interventions, (iii) dimensions HC work...
<h3>Objectives</h3> We developed a conceptual framework, called the Care Bond (CareBond), to describe relationship between healthcare worker and patient safety during delivery of care how psychosocial, work organisational other occupational health (OSH) factors can impact this relationship. applied framework in population home (HC) aides order to: 1) determine whether CareBond could be measured quantitatively 2) test hypothesis that OSH influence CareBond. <h3>Methods</h3> based on our...
