Manual ventilation is an essential skill for healthcare professionals, especially in emergency and resuscitation situations where mechanical may not be immediately available. However, improper manual can lead to serious complications such as barotrauma (lung injury caused by excessive pressure), hypoventilation (leading insufficient oxygenation), hyperventilation (which cause respiratory alkalosis reduced cerebral blood flow), gastric insufflation increases the risk of aspiration). This...
Background/Objectives: Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt and cope effectively with stress, plays a crucial role in preparing candidates for paramedic profession. This study aimed assess resilience intensity personality trait identify stress-coping styles among candidates. Methods: A cross-sectional cohort was conducted across multiple Polish universities offering bachelor’s degree programs emergency medical services. The included 138 participants (56 females, 82 males, aged 18–51)....
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a frequent cause of death in the developed world. Early defibrillation, preferably within first minutes incident, significantly increases survival rates. Accessible automated external defibrillators (AED) public areas have been promoted for many years, and several locations are equipped with these devices.The aim study was to assess real-life availability AEDs possible sources delay.The took place academic towns Poznan, Lodz, Warsaw, Poland. The researchers who...
Background:The widespread adoption of electric scooters (e-scooters) as a mode urban transportation has led to notable upsurge in e-scooter-related injuries globally.Variations e-scooter regulations across countries contribute differences injury patterns.This study sought investigate the healthcare burden posed by on emergency departments (EDs) Poland, and delineate epidemiological clinical features these injuries. Material/Methods:Medical records patients who presented 2 distinct EDs -in...
Background: Due to the increase in life expectancy, both general population and of patients emergency departments (ED) are getting older. An understanding differences, workload resource requirements may be helpful improving patient care. The main goal this study was evaluate reasons for geriatric admissions ED, identify typical medical problems assess number resources order provide more effective management. Methods: We examined 35,720 elderly patients' ED visits over course 3 years. data...
IIn nt tr ro od du uc ct ti io on n: : The Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) program was designed raise the awareness of sudden cardiac death (SCA) pre-hospital management among community.The goal following research confirm final impact Polish PAD various resident groups that differ by age, training and education level.M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d m me et th ho ds s: trial total number participants reached 404 people from three cities divided into two groups.In group one (n = 295)...
Maintaining the viability of organs from donors after circulatory death (DCD) for transplantation is a complicated procedure, time perspective in absence appropriate organizational capabilities, that makes such cases difficult and not yet widespread Poland. We present procedural preparation Poland's first case organ (kidney) DCD donor which perfusion was supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Because this model complex expensive, we used advanced high-fidelity medical...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven to support in lifesaving rescue therapy. The best outcomes can be achieved high-volume ECMO centers with dedicated emergency transport teams. aim of this study was analyze the safety during medical transfer on basis our experience developed innovation cooperation and review literature. A retrospective analysis all ECMO-supported patients transferred from regional hospital referential center between 2015 2020 carried out. Special...
The most common cause of upper respiratory tract obstruction in an unconscious or unresponsive patient is the loss muscle tone airway. Consequently, this leads to a reduction epiglottis, collapse tongue and closure airway at level pharynx, preventing respiration. Diagnosing associated with implementation urgent procedures aimed restoring maintaining patency. Among techniques restoring patency anatomically, we prefer extending head pushing posterior mandible forward. Airway ventilation not...
Emergency departments (EDs) worldwide are dealing with overcrowding, system fragmentation, and coordination problems, which impact patient wait times, staff job satisfaction, outcomes. Inappropriate ED visits, particularly those for low acuity conditions, exacerbate these challenges. However, the motivations behind visits poorly understood, limited data from perspective. This study investigated patient-reported motives triaged as in Poznan, Poland, to propose health care flow enhancements.
Background: “ECMO for Greater Poland” is a program being developed to serve the 3.5 million inhabitants of Poland region (Wielkopolska) based on an approach already implemented in USA1 or Qatar.2,3Method: The complex and takes full advantage ECMO perfusion therapy opportunities save life patients region. main implementation areas are: – treatment with hypothermia;4 reversible severe respiratory failure;5 acute intoxication resulting cardiorespiratory failure6 other critical conditions heart...
Background: Immediate initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases chances restoring spontaneous circulation and survival after out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). For some refractory cases, extended (ECPR) may be a promising option. Aims: The aim the study was to estimate possibility implementation ECPR procedure improve current early outcomes patients OHCA. Methods: medicalcharts Province Emergency Station in Poznań from 12‑month periodwere assessed retrospectively. All...
The outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients are poor. In some OHCA cases, the reason is potentially reversible or aortic disease. It was suggested previously that high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) followed by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support may improve grave prognosis OHCA. However, extended CPR (ECPR) with ECMO application an extremely invasive and cutting-edge procedure. purpose this article to describe how high-fidelity medical...
Background: High quality chest compressions (CCs) are of crucial importance during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Currently, there no clear evidences that the use automatic compression devices (ACCD) superior to manual CCs out-of-hospital CPR. This study aimed estimate if availability ACCDs for two-man rescue teams had any impact on CPR efficiency and a rate successful transport patients after cardiac arrest (OHCA) emergency departments. Methods: The was designed as retrospective...
Background: Poland is setting up its first regional ECMO program and relies heavily on the use of simulation in testing processes training clinicians.1 As a complex expensive procedure, we developed an advanced simulator for high-fidelity medical training.2–6 It can be used to modify any type full-body patient allows creation unlimited number scenarios. Methods: The system equipped with electronic core control unit (CCU) (Figure 1), set synthetic valves, pressure sensors, hydraulic pumps....
Simulation is widely accepted as an important tool in training and educating healthcare providers. The first regional polish extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program called "ECMO for Greater Poland" was recently started.We present a prototype ECMO prepared high-fidelity medical simulation life support. therapy complex, difficult expensive patient care. We have constructed advanced prototype, which can be used scenarios that prepare real-life experiences. uses superior to simulate...
The survival of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (OHSCA) in Europe still remains low. State Medical Rescue System is composed several elements. efficacy each these elements may have an influence on the victim's survival. Until now, incidence return spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and its correlation with rescue services time city Poznan has not been determined.The main purpose this study was to assess incidents OHSCA prehospital frequency ROSC after district. We also wanted analyse...
