Qualitative methods were used to explore the aetiology of occupational stress experienced by on-road ambulance officers. The researcher found that the way in which a service is organised and its officers valued can create and reproduce workplace stressors that are as causative of occupational stress as the often acknowledged occupational specific stressors like night shifts, irregular work hour...

A retrospective cohort study of the 2002 Victorian prehospital emergency care documentation completed by ambulance paramedics had the objectives: (i) to design and implement a quality assessment tool to determine the quality of the ambulance patient care record (PCR) information; and (ii) to identify critical demographic and clinical items on the ambulance PCR that needed improvement. The study...

One of the main reasons for death among young people in current era is based on road accidents. The goal research accident detection systems to shorten reporting times, increase accuracy and address them through our modern technology. Our primary recommend a system that can successfully aid preventing any kind if such conditions exist, then how it detects alerts relevant authorities so problem ...

BACKGROUND Ambulance response time is a crucial factor in patient survival. The number of emergency cases (EMS cases) requiring an ambulance is increasing due to changes in population demographics. This is decreasing ambulance response times to the emergency scene. This paper predicts EMS cases for 5-year intervals from 2020, to 2050 by correlating current EMS cases with demographic factors at ...

Objectives Emergency medical system for mass casualty incidents (EMS-MCIs) is a global issue. However, China lacks such studies extremely, which cannot meet the requirement of rapid decision-support system. This study aims to realize modeling EMS-MCIs in Shanghai, to improve mass casualty incident (MCI) rescue efficiency in China, and to provide a possible method of making rapid rescue decision...

INTRODUCTION Many patients begin their encounter with the health-care services in an ambulance. In some critical patients, it is pivotal that the timing of treatment and events is registered correctly. When patients are transferred from one health care provider to another, there is a risk that the time telling devices used are not synchronized. It has never been examined if this is a problem in...
