Can body temperature be maintained during aeromedical transport?
BACKGROUND Aeromedical transport in northern areas may be associated with hypothermia. The objective of this study was to determine whether significant hypothermia (core temperature <35 masculineC) occurs in severely injured or ill intubated patients during transport by rotary wing aircraft. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, all intubated patients over 16 years of age who were transpo...
متن کاملWhat can be achieved in the aeromedical environment in 2012?
Systems The first speaker was Colonel Peter Kovats, United States Air Force, Chief of Aerospace Medicine at RAF Lakenheath UK. He spoke on Aeromedical Evacuation – ‘from point of wounding all the way home’. Colonel Kovats gave an extensive review of intra/inter-theatre air-evacuation and discussed 7656 patients injured in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2010. 15% were military coalition casualtie...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of prehospital trauma ultrasound during aeromedical transport.
BACKGROUND Ultrasound is widely considered the initial diagnostic imaging modality for trauma. Preliminary studies have explored the use of trauma ultrasound in the prehospital setting, but the accuracy and potential utility is not well understood. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the accuracy of trauma ultrasound performed by helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) providers. METHODS T...
متن کاملLeg stiffness can be maintained during reactive hopping despite modified acceleration conditions.
AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive hops under systematically modified acceleration conditions. It was hypothesized that a high preactivity of the leg extensors and phase-specific adjustments of the leg muscle activation would compensate the alterations caused by the various acceleration levels in order to maintain a high leg stiffness, thus enabling the jumper to perform ...
متن کاملCan Stable Social Groups Be Maintained by Homophilous Imitation Alone?
A central problem in the biological and social sciences concerns the conditions required for emergence and maintenance of cooperation among unrelated individuals. Most models and experiments have been pursued in a game-theoretic context and involve reward or punishment. Here we show that such payoffs are unnecessary, and that stable social groups can sometimes be maintained provided simply that...
