Dear Editors, Cervical collars are necessary to immobilise the cervical spine of patients with multiple trauma (1,2). This devise remains in situ until the radiographic cervical spine clearance is completed (2). A 29-year-old male with multiple trauma and subdural haemorrhage admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) was selected for this case study. The patient had been taken to hospital by em...

Several time-related variables involving resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were studied. Short time intervals from collapse to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to provision of definitive care were significantly associated with survival from cardiac arrest. The two times were jointly related, and one short time without the other was unlikely to result in surv...

Aim: The main purpose of the study is to determine effect occupational anxiety level on job satisfaction in pre-hospital emergency health workers. 
 Materials and Methods: was conducted with a total 72 workers, 29 whom were Emergency Medicine Technicians 43 Paramedics, who worked field Adıyaman Provincial Ambulance Service as an online questionnaire application agreed participate research....

Workplace violence is currently a worrying factor at many hospitals. The objectives of this study were to characterize the occupational violence problems detected by health workers in an emergency hospital. The study was exploratory and transversal, with a quantitative data approach. It took place at the emergency ward of a general hospital in Londrina, Paraná. The study population included 33 ...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been a very important requirement for the purpose of rescue of patients in emergency. But unavailability of trained technicians at the time of need has been a problem. Robotic systems capable of performing the cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be a potential solution. In this paper, a design of robotic system for CPR and its optimization has been presente...

An 87-year-old man was found in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. Despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for over 1 hour by emergency technicians and physicians, the patient died. Immediate postmortem computed tomography showed cardiovascular gas in the right atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. Cardiovascular gas in the left ventricle was located in the myocardium and appeared as...

Background International resuscitation guidelines emphasize performance of high quality chest compressions. In out-ofhospital cardiac arrest Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) play an important role in delivering chest compressions. Delivery of chest compressions is physically demanding and the quality of chest compressions is related to the fitness of the rescuer. Physical fitness may decreas...
