Assessing student paramedics' measurements of fatigue and quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a simulated cardiac arrest case
The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) recommend that high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the key to performance outcomes, emphasising compression and rotation through this process. The proposed study has a two-stage approach to evaluating cardiopulmonary resuscitations effectiveness by out-of-hospital practitioners. The first stage aimed to evaluate the influence of providing real-time biofeedback using the Q-CPR system on the provision of CPR by student paramedics.

Use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) by intensive care paramedics to achieve peripheral intravenous access in patients predicted to be difficult: An out-of-hospital pilot study
Intravenous cannulation is a common procedure for paramedics. Difficulty is often encountered and may result in escalation of care to an intensive care paramedic (ICP). Ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous access (USGPIVA) is used in-hospital as an alternative approach. Historically limited to physicians, it is increasingly embraced by non-physicians, with point of care ultrasound (POCUS) devices more affordable, portable, and suited to the out of hospital environment.

A conceptual framework for the exploration of the relationship between systems of paramedicine and system performance
Over the past 60 years since its inception, the Anglo-American Paramedic System has continued to grow and evolve. While brief and fragmented accounts of the differences between systems have been noted in the literature, until recently there has been a paucity of research that explores and identifies sub-models of paramedicine within the Anglo-American Paramedic System.
