OBJECTIVE The aim of the Faster Access to Stroke Therapy (FAST) study was to determine the effect of educational intervention and the use of a prehospital stroke tool on the paramedic diagnosis of stroke. METHODS Paramedics in emergency medical service units servicing a university teaching hospital were divided into two groups: FAST study paramedics (n = 18) and non-FAST study paramedics (n =...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study is to investigate perceptions by paramedics and hospital receiving staff about what enables and constrains handover in the ED. METHODS This is a qualitative study of interviews with 19 paramedics, 15 nurses and 16 doctors (n = 50) from ambulance services and ED in two states of Australia. RESULTS Three main themes emerged that were evident at both ...
OBJECTIVE To determine the compensation, benefit package, and level of satisfaction with the benefits of nationally registered emergency medical technicians (NREMTs) in 2001. METHODS The Longitudinal EMT Attribute Demographic Study (LEADS) Project included an 18-question snapshot survey on compensation with the 2001 core survey. This survey was sent to 4,835 randomly selected NREMTs. A total ...
STUDY OBJECTIVE We aim to determine clinical and cost-effectiveness of a paramedic protocol for the care of older people who fall. METHODS We undertook a cluster randomized trial in 3 UK ambulance services between March 2011 and June 2012. We included patients aged 65 years or older after an emergency call for a fall, attended by paramedics based at trial stations. Intervention paramedics cou...
OBJECTIVE To compare the ability of UK paramedics to intubate a simulated difficult airway using a Mackintosh laryngoscope versus an intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA). METHOD/DESIGN A randomised controlled trial. RESULTS 100% of the paramedics were able to intubate a simulated difficult airway using the ILMA versus 0% of those using the Mackintosh laryngoscope. CONCLUSIONS This stud...
In this article, the professional socialization of university educated paramedics from the United Kingdom and Australia is discussed using the anticipatory, formal and post-formal phases of socialization. Participants for this research were from universities and ambulance services in Australia and the United Kingdom, and the data were collected and analyzed by qualitative methods. The anticipat...
STUDY HYPOTHESIS Substantial inter-rater agreement is present in the labeling by paramedics of ventricular fibrillation and asystolic rhythms. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional study. TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS One hundred five practicing paramedics from nonvolunteer agencies who are advanced cardiac life support certified. METHODS Five static cardiac arrest rhythm strips, classified by Cummi...
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital endotracheal intubation performed by paramedics using the Macintosh blade for direct laryngoscopy is associated with a high incidence of complications. The novel technique of video laryngoscopy has been shown to improve glottic view and intubation success in the operating room. The aim of this study was to compare glottic view, time of intubation and success rate of t...
STUDY OBJECTIVE Optimal practices for recruiting, consenting, and randomizing patients, and delivering treatment in out-of-hospital ultra-acute stroke trials, remain unclear. We aim to identify key barriers and facilitators relevant to the design and conduct of ambulance-based stroke trials and to formulate preliminary recommendations for the design of future trials. METHODS Using semistructu...
INTRODUCTION The laryngeal mask airway (LMAtrade mark airway) provides adequate ventilation and offers a suitable alternative for airway management in patients with cardiac arrest if primary care paramedics do not have intubation skills or are unable to intubate. Training in the use of the LMA usually occurs in the operating room. OBJECTIVE To describe the use of the LMA by paramedics in preh...
