Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors that contribute to effective diabetes education for patients and their families in a pre-hospital setting across France.
- It involved 561 insulin-treated patients and their families, assessing their ability to manage hypoglycemia and understand diabetes symptoms, revealing that many lacked basic knowledge and access to necessary treatment like glucagon.
- Key findings indicate that education is significantly improved when patients receive care from a diabetologist, while a lack of formal education and nurse visits hinder learning.
Objective: The objective was to establish the feasibility of using an automated external chest compression (ECC) device among first-aid workers unfamiliar with the device.
Methods: Eighty first-aid workers unfamiliar with the Autopulse ECC device were randomized into three groups. Group 1 was given two explanatory illustrations on device use.
It was the objective of this study to confirm the hypothesis that women experience an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) and/or thromboembolic events after long-distance air travel. We systematically reviewed the records of all patients with confirmed pulmonary embolism after arrival at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) Airport (Paris, France) during a 13-year period. The incidence of PE was calculated as a function of distance travelled and gender using Bayesian conditional probabilities obtained in part from a control population of long-distance travellers arriving in French Polynesia (Tahiti).
