OBJECTIVES Emergency ambulance services are an essential component of rapid treatment prehospital ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The effectiveness and safety fibrinolysis in older STEMI patients is unknown. This study investigated the paramedic-administered ≥ 75 years age who were identified by paramedics Queensland, Australia.
Abstract Objectives To describe the characteristics and outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)‐induced consciousness patients from a large database out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods Included were adult patients, attended between January 2007 December 2018 by Queensland Ambulance Service, where was attempted paramedics. Manual review records undertaken to identify CPR‐induced cases. Patients exhibiting purposeful limb/body movement during CPR, with or without displaying...
Background: Field identification and treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by paramedics is an important component the continuum care for these patients. This study described real-world clinical practice in prehospital management STEMI patients Queensland, Australia. Methods: Retrospective analysis data sourced from database Queensland Ambulance Service, Adult identified between February 2008 December 2018 were included. Key aspects described. Clinically-important...
Abstract Aim Patients that experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the context of a paramedic-identified ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction are unique cohort. This study identifies survival outcomes and determinants these patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was undertaken all patients, attended between 1 January 2013 31 December 2017 by Queensland Ambulance Service, who had identified attending paramedic prior to deterioration into arrest. We described ‘survived event’...
Field identification and treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by paramedics is an important component care for these patients. There a paucity studies in the setting paramedic-identified STEMI. This study investigated mortality factors associated with large state-wide prehospital STEMI sample.
Abstract Objective International guidelines recommend amiodarone for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF). While early appropriate interventions have been shown to improve OHCA survival, the association between time and survival remains be established. Methods Included were adult VF, January 2015 December 2019, who received a resuscitation attempt with from Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics. Patient characteristics outcomes described....
The deliberate inhalation of volatile substances for their psychotropic properties is a recognised public health issue that can precipitate sudden death. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics and survival outcomes patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests following substance use.We conducted retrospective cohort analysis all arrest attended by Queensland Ambulance Service over ten-year period (2012-2021). Incidents were extracted from registry, which collects...
Aim Primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening obstetric emergency that can be mitigated through the administration of uterotonic to actively manage third stage labor. This study describes prehospital oxytocin by paramedics following attendance out-of-hospital (OOH) births.Methods A retrospective analysis was undertaken all OOH births between 1st January 2018 and 31st December attended Queensland Ambulance Service. The demographic epidemiological characteristics patients were...
We would like to commend the contribution of Asha et al., who have attempted address a long-standing knowledge gap with their publication entitled 'Neurologic outcomes following introduction policy for using soft cervical collars in suspected traumatic spine injury: retrospective chart review'.1 Spinal immobilisation has been continual point conjecture, current practice dominated by legacy ideologies and perpetual dogma. The routine application semi-rigid long mainstay contemporary practice,...
