BACKGROUND Legal regulations often limit the medical care that paramedics can provide. Telemedical solutions could overcome these limitations by remotely providing expert support. Therefore, a mobile telemedicine system to support paramedics was developed. During the implementation phase of this system in four German emergency medical services (EMS), the feasibility and possible limitations of ...

Background: Hospital Services rely on Medical and Paramedics at the Hospital, Paramedic services, especially women, are greatly influenced by mood, in women it is hormonal balance, including menstruation menopause. The drop estrogen levels after menopause causes many physical emotional changes. Estradiol largest estrogen. It estimated that number of who have will experience a very significant i...

BACKGROUND Unplanned out-of-hospital birth is often perceived as precipitate in nature, 'infrequent', 'normal' and 'uncomplicated'. However, international studies report unplanned out-of-hospital birth is associated with increased rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This research describes intrapartum, immediate postpartum and neonatal care provided by paramedics in Queensla...

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...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to examine PHTLS Provider courses in Germany and to proof the assumption that formation of physicians and paramedics in prehospital trauma care can be optimized. METHODS PHTLS participants were asked to fill out standardized questionnaires during their course preparation and directly after the course. There were some open questions regarding their profess...

Purpose: Paramedics are routinely called to patients presenting with mental health concerns. Previous literature suggests paramedics find this patient group challenging. However, no study has investigated whether presentations (MHP) more challenging relative other presentations, or certain paramedic variables relate their perceived ability manage MHP. This investigates differences in paramedics...

This paper discusses the design and prototypical implementation of a mobile user-interface to assist paramedics in disaster operations based on the mSTaRT triage algorithm. Due to the increasing use of algorithms in the disaster management the introduction of mobile hand-held computers stands to reason. The triage algorithm has been implemented on hand-held computers and tested in a disaster co...

Background: Internationally, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, causing corona virus disease (COVID-19), has increased demand on healthcare services and resources1. The proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by paramedics recently become apparent2. risk COVID-19 transmission during prehospital life-saving procedures generating aerosols such as ...

background: musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are common among employees throughout the world, particularly in high risk groups such as nurses. objective: to determine the prevalence of msds among nurses in a large hospital in ahwaz, southwestern iran, and to examine its correlation with gender, age, shift working, years at service and smoking. methods: using a self-reported questionnaire-based ...

In this paper, we report work into wearable computers for paramedics. The paper begins with an overview of the design using Unified Modeling Language (UML). This demonstrates the information flow and task activity in typical paramedic work. A demonstrator system was described using such UML models. The second part of the paper reports a user trial of a working prototype wearable computer, invol...
