    Abstract : Background In prehospital patient care, numerous patients are examined, treated, and transported. Some are acutely seriously ill, while others, though not acutely ill, necessitate ambulance transport due to their inability to do so independently. Among the latter group, patients may be sicker than initially estimated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pre-hospital time and mortality in patients who receive in-hospital resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta (REBOA) : -a retrospective analysis using the ABOTrauma registry

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Victor Karlsson Valentin; [2022]
    Keywords : REBOA; Pre-hospital; Time; Mortality; Retrospective;

    Abstract : Introduction: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is an endovascular technique for temporarily stabilizing hemodynamically unstable patients until permanent interventions can be performed. The benefits of in-hospital REBOA to control hemorrhage in different areas is now well studied, yet little is known about its use and indications in the pre-hospital setting. READ MORE

    Abstract : When paramedics arrive at an accident site there are a lot of complex variables that they must keep in mind when making decisions. Thus, a problem of too much information presented at once makes the decision-making harder. To aid paramedics, smart glasses can be used to streamline the workflow and present relevant information immediately. READ MORE
