ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2011; 18:890–897 © 2011 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Disease-based registries can form basis of comparative research to improve and inform policy optimizing outcomes, example, in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Such are often lacking resource-limited countries settings. Anecdotally, survival rates OHCA Asia low compared those North America or Europe, a regional registry is needed. The Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) network...
Little is known about the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and outbreak response measures on door-to-balloon time (D2B). This study examined both D2B clinical outcomes patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
To determine the level of knowledge signs and symptoms heart attack stroke in Singapore resident population, comparison to global community.
Objective The Singapore myResponder is a novel smartphone application developed by the Civil Defence Force (SCDF) that notifies volunteer first responders of suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) case and locations Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in vicinity so they can assist with resuscitation. We aimed to examine performance this application, challenges encountered, future directions. Methods: analyzed data from app since its launch April 2015 July 2019. number...
Shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) or tachycardia (VT) is a treatment challenge in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning models that could be implemented by emergency medical services (EMS) predict refractory VF/VT OHCA patients.
We assessed the feasibility of obtaining diagnostic quality images heart and thoracic aorta by extending z axis coverage a non-ECG-gated computed tomographic angiogram performed in primary evaluation acute stroke without increasing contrast dose.Twenty consecutive patients with ischemic within 4.5 hours symptom onset were prospectively recruited. increased longitudinal to domes diaphragm include heart. Contrast administration (Omnipaque 350) remained unchanged (injected at 3-4 mL/s; total...
This study aims to how the effect of location patient collapses from cardiac arrest, in residential and non-residential areas within Singapore, relates certain survival outcomes.A retrospective cohort data were done Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Epidemiology (CARE) project. Out-of- hospital arrest (OHCA) October 2001 2004 used. All patients with OHCA as confirmed by absence a pulse, unresponsiveness apnoea included. events had occurred Singapore. Analysis was performed expressed terms odds...
Aim. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during ambulance transport can be a safety risk for providers and affect CPR quality. In many Asian countries with basic life support (BLS) systems, patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are routinely transported in ambulances which is performed. This paper aims to make recommendations on best practices BLS systems. Methods. A panel consisting of 20 experts (including 4 North Americans) emergency medical services (EMS) science...
Objectives: The objective was to compare the survival outcomes of emergency medical services (EMS)-witnessed bystander-witnessed, and unwitnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in Singapore. Secondary aims are describe 5-year trend rates EMS-witnessed arrests. Methods: This a retrospective analysis Singapore's OHCA registry data from 2011 2015. Excluded were patients younger than 18 years old, traumatic etiology, resuscitation not attempted, cases conveyed by EMS. primary outcome...
Globally, Emergency Care Systems (ECS) are a critical resource that needs to be used judiciously as demand can easily exceed supply capacity. Sub-optimal ECS use contributes Department (ED) crowding; this adversely affects well system-wide service performance. Alternate Service Pathways (ACSPs) innovations intended mitigate ED crowding by re-routing less-urgent cases sites of care other than the ED. As in countries, policymakers Singapore need respond increasing utilization and evaluating...
Abstract Background Singapore and Osaka in Japan have comparable population sizes prehospital management; however, the frequency of ECPR differs greatly for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with initial shockable rhythm. Given this disparity, we hypothesized that outcomes among OHCA rhythm were different from those Osaka. The aim study was to evaluate compared expected derived data using machine learning-based prediction models. Methods This a secondary analysis two databases:...
Objective: We aimed to examine the association of ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) incidence 30-day survival in Singapore. Methods: analyzed Singapore cohort Pan-Asia Resuscitation Outcome Study (PAROS), a multi-center, prospective OHCA registry between 2010 2015. The Socioeconomic Disadvantage Index (SEDI) score, obtained according zip code, was used as surrogate for neighborhood SES. Age-adjusted Utstein were calculated by defined number...
