In Loudon County, Tenn., Priority Ambulance Trains More Than 110 Residents to Stop the Bleed
Last week, Priority Ambulance and Fort Loudoun Medical Center observed the national Stop the Bleed initiative with training events and donations that targeted Loudon County schools and the general public. In total, more than 110 Loudon County community members were trained in lifesaving bleeding control techniques, including 40 teachers who serve as a medical first response team at each high school. Priority Ambulance and Fort Loudoun also donated bleeding control kits, which include gauze, gloves, tourniquet and trauma shears, to each public and private elementary, middle and high school in Loudon County. The kits will be...

Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 3482: 3D Simulations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Detection Using Broadband Microwave Technology
Persson Early, preferably prehospital, detection of intracranial bleeding after trauma or stroke would dramatically improve the acute care of these large patient groups. In this paper, we use simulated microwave transmission data to investigate the performance of a machine learning classification algorithm based on subspace distances for the detection of intracranial bleeding. A computational model, consisting of realistic human head models of patients with bleeding, as well as healthy subjects, was inserted in an antenna array model. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method was then used to generate simulated t...

Monitoring of atrial fibrillation in primary care patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention
ConclusionsResults show that there was incomplete adherence to the 2013 EHRA prescribing guidelines with only 24% adhering to all seven guidelines, and patient follow-up was less frequent than has been suggested.

Establishing the Safety of Training in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Retrospective Comparison of Outcomes between Trainees and a Consultant Surgeon
Conclusions These results demonstrate comparable outcomes in OPCAB surgery between a consultant surgeon and trainees. This study supports the conclusion that training surgeons in OPCAB is appropriate for trainees in the final years of cardiac surgery training.

3D Deep Neural Network Segmentation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Development and Validation for Clinical Trials
AbstractIntracranial hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. This leads to significant morbidity and mortality, the likelihood of which is predicated on the size of the bleeding event. X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans allow clinicians and researchers to qualitatively and quantitatively diagnose hemorrhagic stroke, guide interventions and determine inclusion criteria of patients in clinical trials. There is no currently available open source, validated tool to quickly segment hemorrhage. Using an automated pipeline and 2D and 3D deep neural networks, we show that we can quickly and accurately ...

VAD 911: Process Improvement for First Responders Treating Ventricular Assist Device Patients
This study conducted an assessment of first responders generalized knowledge and self-reported competency regarding VAD use, provided an education course, and tested for improvement immediately after and 1 month postintervention. Two hundred thirty-six first responders participated from communities with known VAD patients. Responses indicated poor knowledge, experience, and competency. Twenty-one percent had seen a manufacturer training video, 26% had attended prior training, and 38% knew who to contact with a VAD emergency. Generalized knowledge of VAD therapy was poor with majority not understanding use of anticoagulatio...
