Endotracheal intubation success rates in the prehospital setting are variable. Our objective was to describe challenges encountered and corrective actions taken during process of endotracheal by paramedics.Analysis airway management using a prospective registry that linked an emergency medical services administrative database.Emergency system serving King County, Washington, 2006-2011. Paramedics this have capability administer neuromuscular blocking agents facilitate (i.e., rapid sequence...

Quantitative measures of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) ECG waveform can assess myocardial physiology and predict cardiac arrest outcomes, making these a candidate to help guide resuscitation. Chest compressions are typically paused for measure calculation because cause artifact. However, such pauses contradict resuscitation guideline recommendations minimize cardiopulmonary interruptions. We evaluated comprehensive group VF with without ongoing determine their performance under both...

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) is associated with relatively poor survival. The ability predict refractory VF (requiring ≥3 shocks) in advance of repeated shock failure could enable preemptive targeted interventions aimed at improving outcome, such as earlier administration antiarrhythmics, reconsideration epinephrine use or dosage, changes delivery strategy, expedited invasive treatments. We conducted a cohort study out-of-hospital...

Current resuscitation protocols require pausing chest compressions during cardiopulmonary (CPR) to check for a pulse. However, CPR when patient is pulseless can worsen outcomes. Our objective was design and evaluate an ECG-based algorithm that predicts pulse presence with or without CPR. We evaluated 383 patients being treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest real-time ECG, impedance audio recordings. Paired ECG segments having organized rhythm immediately preceding (during CPR) the (without...
