Background In 2009 the Wellington Free Ambulance implemented an education programme to reduce high concentration oxygen delivery to patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Objective This systematic review aimed to identify and describe the evidence for supplementary oxygen for spontaneously breathing trauma patients, and for high (0.60–0.90) versus low (0.30–0.50) ...

This suggests that monitoring cerebral oxygenation in the prehospital setting could be beneficial for guiding resuscitation efforts and making informed decisions about patient care[2 ...

More than 60,000 people bleed to death every year in the U.S. Many of those deaths occur before the patient reaches a trauma ...

Prehospital research surrounding dex in croup ... Current recommendations suggest that COVID-19 patients with little or no oxygen requirements do not benefit from dex, however, in patients ...

If feasible, an oral airway can be inserted—although this should only be done if there is no likelihood of trauma to the mouth and teeth—and oxygen should be administered by nasal cannula or mask and ...

Although this sounds good when you’re trying to decrease intracranial pressure, it also means that less oxygen will be delivered ... hypertonic saline in the pre-hospital setting.

One of those changes is perhaps the most significant of all, at least to us: lengthening days are linked to the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere, according to a study from 2021. Specifically, the ...

A PaO2 test measures partial pressure of oxygen, or PaO2—the oxygen pressure in arterial blood. The PaO2 reflects how well oxygen is able to move from the lungs to the blood. It is often altered by ...

Background There has been little research into the prehospital management of cardiac arrest following hanging despite ... There was one case of failed ventilation prompting front-of-neck access for ...
