Introduction and aims Paramedics are a skilled group of clinicians with expertise in cardiac arrest. Our research group has complete a trial to comparing two supraglottic airway devices with current practice during cardiac arrest (REVIVEAirways). This is a highly contentious topic amongst UK paramedics, The study aimed to explore the existing customs and beliefs surrounding intubation and resuscitation by UK paramedics.

An exploration of the views of paramedics regarding airway management
BACKGROUND Paramedics are a skilled group of clinicians with expertise in airway management. Our research group has completed a trial comparing supraglottic airway devices with tracheal intubation during out of hospital cardiac arrest. This is a contentious topic amongst paramedics in the United Kingdom (UK). We explored the customs and beliefs of UK paramedics in relation to airway management,...
متن کاملFeasibility of LMA Supreme for airway management in unconscious patients by ALS paramedics
BACKGROUND Airway management to ensure sufficient gas exchange is of major importance in emergency care. The accepted basic technique is to maintain an open airway and perform artificial ventilation in emergency situations is bag-valve mask (BVM) ventilation with manual airway management without airway adjuncts or with an oropharyngeal tube (OPA) only. Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is often ref...

All clinicians who are responsible for the care of a pediatric trauma patient, including pediatricians, pediatric emergency room clinicians, and trauma surgeons, must be familiar with every tenet of ...
متن کاملThe influence of different airway management strategies on chest compression fraction in simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation, provided by paramedics: LMA Supreme versus Endotracheal Intubation and Combitube
Introduction. It is strongly advised by the European Resuscitation Council not to interrupt chest compressions for airway management. An alternative to tracheal intubation is the use of a supraglottic airway device (SAD) which should shorten “hands-off” time during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Chest compression fraction (CCF) should be above 0.6 to ensure the probability of successful C...
متن کاملStakeholder perspectives on relationship between factors affecting readiness for radio frequency identification implementation
Introduction: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification technology which uses radio waves for collecting and transferring data. Due to extensive use in tracking and identifying people and objects, this technology has been able to solve many of the hospital's problems and help to increase the quality of delivery of services. The aim of this study was to survey t...
