A companion website rounds out the book's offerings with audio and video clips of EMS best practice in action. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the history of EMS An exploration of EMS airway management, including procedures and challenges, as well as how to manage ventilation, oxygenation, and breathing in patients, including cases of respiratory distress Practical discussions of medical problems, including the challenges posed by the undifferentiated patient, altered mental status, cardiac arrest and dysrhythmias, seizures, stroke, and allergic reactions An examination of EMS systems, structure, and leadership
Download or read book Special Investigation Report on Emergency Medical Services Operations written by Barry Leonard and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses safety issues identified during the National Transportation Safety Board¿s special investigation of 55 emergency medical services (EMS) aircraft accidents that occurred in the United States between January 2002 and January 2005. Safety issues discussed in this report focus on less stringent requirements for EMS operations conducted without patients on board, a lack of aviation flight risk evaluation programs for EMS operations, a lack of consistent, comprehensive flight dispatch procedures for EMS operations, and no requirements to use technologies such as terrain awareness and warning systems to enhance EMS flight safety.

Download or read book Air Ambulance written by Gerald L. Dillingham and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Changes in the air ambulance (AA) industry's size and structure have led to differences of opinion about the implications for AA use, safety, and services. Some industry stakeholders believe that greater state regulation would be good for consumers. While states can regulate the medical aspects of AA, the Airline Deregulation Act preempts states from economic regulation of AA. Other stakeholders view the industry changes as having been beneficial to consumers and see no need for a regulatory change. This report examined: (1) changes in the industry in the last decade and the implications of these changes on the availability of AA and patient services; and (2) the relationship between fed. and state oversight and regulation of the industry.

Download or read book Comparing Safety of Helicopters and Ground Emergency Medical Services for Patient Transport written by Sibgha Amin and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency medical services (EMS) are a safe method of transporting patients from their injury site to the nearest hospital. Many conditions determine the safety of the patients during their travels. Previous research on EMS includes risks and benefits of ambulances and helicopters, but few studies compare these services' safety. This study compares the safety of ambulance and helicopter emergency medical services in the United States between 2000-2019. With this information, EMT personnel can make informed decisions on the best mode of transportation. Generating queries from the National Transportation Safety Board and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, data of fatalities and injuries among passengers affected during travel were collected. Based on the data, individuals travelling via ambulances were unaffected. Those affected from ambulance related crashes suffered more from injuries, rather than death. For the helicopter EMS, there were more deaths than injuries among passengers. Quantitatively, more patients were affected in ambulance-related crashes than helicopters. The high number of passengers affected is due to the availability of ambulances for emergencies. A straightforward comparison cannot be drawn at this time. The data must be quantified to a specific injury and accident rate to determine which transportation mode is the safest.

Download or read book Manual of Austere and Prehospital Ultrasound written by Benjamin D. Nicholson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrasound has rapidly become integral to the practice of emergency medicine. Over the past few years, with improvements in device size and cost, there has been increasing interest in exploring the utility of ultrasound in the prehospital environment. Much of the available literature on ultrasound in the emergency setting focuses on care delivered in emergency departments and intensive care units within the developed world. As a result, most resources are inappropriate and inadequate for doctors and non-physicians practicing in out-of-hospital environments that, by definition, are resource limited. This manual fills that gap by focusing on simplified discussions of ultrasound studies, ultrasound physics, and research that impacts out-of-hospital care in order to meet the needs of prehospital and austere providers. The manual discusses the use of ultrasound for diagnosis in out-of-hospital care, advanced noninvasive monitoring of patients, and safety in performing procedures common to the prehospital and austere environment. As is the approach for prehospital education, the chapters are complaint based and not diagnosis based where applicable. Chapters cover ultrasound image interpretation and basic physics; common image adjustments to improve image quality; unique challenges found in urban prehospital environments, austere/wilderness environments, tactical environments, and military special operations environments; and initial training, quality improvement/assurance programs, and credentialing. It also includes a section on procedures such as pericardiocentesis, vascular access, cricothyroidotomy, and others specific to austere providers. The Manual of Austere and Prehospital Ultrasound is an essential resource for physicians and related professionals, residents, and medical students in emergency medicine, civilian and military EMS providers, and critical care flight paramedics and nurses.
Download or read book Medical Response to Major Incidents and Disasters written by Sten Lennquist and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written by members of the core faculty responsible for European courses on Medical Response to Major Incidents (MRMI), is a practical guide for all medical staff on how to respond to a wide range of disaster scenarios. The entire spectrum of knowledge is covered, from command and coordination through to the management of individual casualties. Central importance is attached to the key component of decision making by explaining what needs to be done for patients in particular situations and the required order and timing of treatment measures. Simplified methods receive due attention, as it is often necessary for medical staff to administer primary treatment outside of their own specialty. This book will prove an invaluable aid to all who may be involved in the response to major accidents and disasters, including medical and nursing students, ambulance crew, and military personnel as well as medical specialists.
