pre-hospital and retrieval medicine update: Self-extrication with a collar on

http://prehospitalupdate.blogspot.com/2010/02/self-extrication-with-collar-on.html

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Self-extrication with a collar on. Using a sophisticated infrared six camera motion capture system, investigators demonstrated decreased cervical spine movement when collared volunteers self-extricated from a mock smashed up Toyota Corolla, when compared with extrication by paramedics using a backboard. Cervical spine motion during extrication: a pilot study. West J Emerg Med. 2009 May;10(2):74-8. Posted by Rescue Doc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Surviving Sepsis Campai...

pre-hospital and retrieval medicine update: Heliox in COPD exacerbation

http://prehospitalupdate.blogspot.com/2010/02/heliox-in-copd-exacerbation.html

Thursday, February 4, 2010. Heliox in COPD exacerbation. A 65:35 helium-oxygen mix was compared with 35% oxygen in air in patients with COPD exacerbations requiring non-invasive ventilation. In this RCT there was no difference in intubation rates between the heliox or air/oxygen groups. A multicenter, randomized trial of noninvasive ventilation with helium-oxygen mixture in exacerbations of chronic obstructive lung disease. Crit Care Med. 2010 Jan;38(1):145-51. Posted by Rescue Doc.

pre-hospital and retrieval medicine update: December 2009

http://prehospitalupdate.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 20, 2009. Effect on noradrenaline on tissue oxygen delivery. Some persist in thinking and teaching that the ‘vasopressor’ noradrenaline (norepinephrine) increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) simply by increasing systemic vascular resistance, leading to concerns that it may increase blood pressure at the expense of tissue perfusion. This assertion is contested by many, who now have further support from this study. Crit Care Med. 2009 Jun;37(6):1961-6. Posted by Rescue Doc. A review of bu...

pre-hospital and retrieval medicine update: February 2010

http://prehospitalupdate.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 12, 2010. Plasma:red cell transfusion ratio in trauma. In major trauma patients who require blood transfusion, fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cell (RBC) ratios of up to 1:1 have been associated with reduced mortality in retrospective studies, which may be in part due to survival bias (some patients die before they can be given as much FFP as the survivors). Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) use during massive blood transfusion in trauma resuscitation. Posted by Rescue Doc. West J ...

Saturday, May 2, 2009. March 2009 Clinical Update CME Questions. Answer True or False:. 1 In pre-hospital care, the greatest survival benefit from physician-based services has been demonstrated in paediatric medical emergencies. 2 Digital rectal examination is not always necessary in the secondary survey examination of trauma patients. 3 Standard iv catheters are often too short to effectively decompress a tension pneumothorax.

Answers at the bottom of the July 2009 Update. 1) In refractory septic shock there is no clear evidence that steroids reduce mortality. 2) Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) may cause cerebral vasodilation by reducing minute ventilation. 3) Intravenous morphine provides more effective analgesia to children than nebulised fentanyl.

Friday, June 12, 2009. April 2009 Clinical Update CME Questions. Answer True or False:. Pre-hospital blood pressure measured invasively via an arterial line produces significantly different systolic and diastolic readings from non-invasive measurement. Compartment intrusion may be ignored as a relevant factor when taking the history in children with trauma due to motor vehicle collison. A tourniquet will not effectively control arterial bleeding if placed below the elbow or knee. Posted by Rescue Doc.
