Prehospital intravenous access and fluid resuscitation in severe sepsis: an observational cohort study

INTRODUCTION Prompt treatment of severe sepsis in the Emergency Department reduces deaths, but the role of prehospital fluid resuscitation is unknown. We sought to determine the risk-adjusted association between prehospital fluid administration and hospital mortality among emergency medical services (EMS) patients admitted with severe sepsis. METHODS We performed a prospective, observational ...

A randomized controlled trial of intranasal fentanyl vs intravenous morphine for analgesia in the prehospital setting.

STUDY OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to compare intranasal fentanyl (INF) with intravenous morphine (IVM) for prehospital analgesia. METHODS This was a randomized, controlled, open-label trial. Consecutive adult patients (n = 258) requiring analgesia (Verbal Rating Score [VRS] >2/10 noncardiac or >5/10 cardiac) were recruited. Patients received INF 180 mug +/- 2 doses of 60 mug at >...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Prehospital hypothermia is associated with increased mortality.

Introduction Trauma is leading cause of death among people under the age of 40.[1] Accidental hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy represent the lethal triad in severely injured patients. [2] There is good evidence that unintended hypothermia worsens outcomes after major trauma.[3] We aimed to audit the frequency of hypothermia among seriously injured patients presenting to a UK major trauma...
