..We seek to assess the effect of introducing intravenous epinephrine on the survival outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in an emergency medical services (EMS) system that previously did not use intravenous medications...

..Public access defibrillation (PAD) has shown potential to increase cardiac arrest survival rates...

..It would also aid in planning for deployment of resources, interventions and ongoing efforts to improve Singapore's EMS...

..It leads to inaccurate blood results and has cost implications as blood samples very often have to be retaken. The purpose of our study was to determine which factors in blood sampling were associated with higher rates of haemolysis...

..Intraosseous (IO) access is an alternative to conventional intravenous access. The proximal tibia and proximal humerus have been proposed as suitable sites for IO access...

..It has been observed that emergency department (ED) attendances are not random events but rather have definite time patterns and trends that can be observed historically...

..Intraosseous access is an alternative to conventional intravenous access when access is difficult or impossible in the adult population. The EZ-IO is a novel intraosseous access device designed for use in adults, utilising a powered driver...

..This will facilitate a Systems Status Plan for the deployment of ambulances based on the most cost effective deployment strategy...

..To determine the causes for sample hemolysis and measure the effect of an intervention to reduce sample hemolysis in the Emergency Department of a large hospital...

....

..Our primary aim is to measure no-flow time and no-flow ratio before and after an emergency department (ED) switched from manual to a load-distributing band mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device...

..This study aimed to determine if a deployment strategy based on geospatial-time analysis is able to reduce ambulance response times for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OOHCA) in an urban emergency medical services (EMS) system...

....

..However, data supporting their use is limited and is the focus of this comprehensive review...

..The model can be applied across similar resource-limited settings...

....

..We also implemented an automated pre-analysis signal processing algorithm and multiple principal component analysis (PCA) for outcomes...

..We aim to compare the outcomes of cardiac arrest patients in the cardiac arrest and resuscitation epidemiology study who either received CC-CPR, standard CPR or no bystander CPR...

..We aimed to compare the effectiveness, complications, and benefits of HAT performed by nurses or doctors in a randomized, prospective trial...

..Termination of resuscitation (TOR) in the field for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can reduce unnecessary transport to hospital and increase availability of resources for other patients...

..To compare the attitudes of the public attending at a local Emergency Department and the medical staff towards witnessed resuscitation...

..We aimed to compare the etiology of pediatric OHCA by pre-hospital clinical diagnosis with etiology by coroner's diagnosis and autopsy...

..We found the hair apposition technique to be a better technique for closing suitable scalp lacerations. In this study, we aim to compare the cost-effectiveness of the hair apposition technique and standard suturing...

..To assess the experience, knowledge and attitudes of local primary health-care doctors towards resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest...

..To determine etiology of pediatric OHCA in a population-based sample from autopsy and coroner's diagnosis...

..We compare the performance of 3 termination-of-resuscitation guidelines for basic life support-defibrillator (BLS) providers when applied to cardiac arrest patients in the Ontario Prehospital Advanced Life Support study...

..To assess and compare local Emergency Department medical and nursing staff attitudes towards witnessed resuscitation...

..To study out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occurring in primary healthcare facilities (HCF) in Singapore and to compare these with arrests occurring in the community...

..We aim to describe the incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax presenting to the Emergency Department, the treatment given and the outcomes of treatment...

..This study aims to identify the characteristics of exercise-related cardiac arrest in the study population and estimate the overall survival rate...

..CONCLUSION: Compared with resuscitation using manual CPR, a resuscitation strategy using LDB-CPR on EMS ambulances is associated with improved survival to hospital discharge in adults with out-of-hospital nontraumatic cardiac arrest...
