Exploring the Potential of CarbonCool ® in Rapid Prehospital Cooling for Severe Heat Stroke
CONCLUSION: We present an innovative approach to prehospital care for patients with heat stroke through the use of CarbonCool®, highlighting its efficacy for rapid cooling and its potential impact on patient outcomes. However, further studies are warranted to fully confirm the efficacy of the system.PMID:38416877 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2323575 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)

A retrospective comparison of upper and lower extremity intraosseous access during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation
CONCLUSION: In this large prehospital dataset, upper extremity IO access was associated with a small increase in the odds of ROSC in comparison to lower extremity IO access. These data support the need for prospective investigation of the ideal IO access site during OHCA resuscitation.PMID:38416867 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2321285 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)

Hemorrhagic Shock in Isolated and Non-isolated Pelvic Fractures: A Registries-Based Study
Conclusion: In young patients with pelvic fractures, severe associated injuries were common, but isolated pelvic fractures rarely presented with profound shock upon arrival. Prehospital management protocols for pelvic fractures should prioritize prompt evacuation and resuscitative measures aimed at addressing associated injuries.PMID:38416869 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2322014 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)

Rural Emergency Medical Services Clinicians' Perceptions and Preferences in Receiving Clinical Feedback from Hospitals: A Qualitative Needs Assessment
Conclusion: Our results suggest that consistent clinical feedback provided by hospitals was valued. Establishing a culture of providing organized feedback to practicing rural EMS clinicians is important for professional development and can strengthen the relationships between EMS clinicians and hospitals. These study findings can assist in the development and implementation of a standardized feedback instrument to benefit rural EMS clinicians, patients, and the health care system as a whole.PMID:38416871 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2324970 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)

False Electrical Capture in Prehospital Transcutaneous Pacing by Paramedics: A Case Series
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest a high proportion of patients undergoing TCP are at risk of false electrical capture despite a recorded palpable pulse. While our analysis is limited to a single EMS network, these data raise concerns regarding the incidence of prehospital false electrical capture. Further research is warranted to calculate the incidence of false electrical capture and evaluate mitigation strategies.PMID:38407212 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2321287 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)

Performance of the Medical Priority Dispatch System ® in identifying patients requiring chest compressions at overdose prevention services: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: The ability of MPDS ® to correctly identify patients needing telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions differed between OPS settings and other locations, frequently recommending T-CPR for patients not suffering OHCA at an OPS. Different strategies developed in collaboration with people who use substances are required to better tailor dispatch instructions prior to EMS arrival to avoid delays in life-saving interventions.PMID:38407219 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2319150 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)
