Are watches in the ambulances and the Emergency Department synchronized?
Background Prognostication in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) is (amongst other things) dependent on the duration of the CA. However in patients with out-of-hospital CA, the patient is often handed over from the ambulance crew to hospital staff. During the hand-over ambulance crews often present a printed summary of events during the resuscitation attempt from the defibrillator. As treatment ...
متن کاملOptimal and Better Transport Plans
We consider the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem in a purely measure theoretic setting, i.e. without imposing continuity assumptions on the cost function. It is known that transport plans which are concentrated on c-monotone sets are optimal, provided the cost function c is either lower semi-continuous and finite, or continuous and may possibly attain the value ∞. We show that this is true i...
متن کاملAn Information System for the Effective Management of Ambulances
In this paper, we describe a system offering a solution to the problem of ambulance management and emergency incident handling in the prefecture of Attica in Greece. It is based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) coupled with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technologies. The system's operation is expected to minimize the ambulances' respons...
متن کاملMonotonicity of transport plans
We study monotonicity properties for minimizers of transport problems. In the one-dimensional case, we present an algorithm to construct minimizing monotone transport plans by “monotonizing” a given minimizing transport plan. This method applies in particular to the case of the L1-Wasserstein metric where we prove the existence of monotone minimizers for arbitrary marginals. We find that monoto...
متن کاملMonotone Martingale Transport Plans and Skorohod Embedding
We show that the left-monotone martingale coupling is optimal for any given performance function satisfying the martingale version of the Spence-Mirrlees condition, without assuming additional structural conditions on the marginals. We also give a new interpretation of the left monotone coupling in terms of Skorokhod embedding which allows us to give a short proof of uniqueness.
