[Organisation and methods of intervention of the medical-psychological emergency units].

In the particular case of exceptional health situations involving multiple victims or not, the early psychiatric care of patients affected, directly or not, relies on the medical-psychological emergency cells (Cump). The organisation of these units is based on ministerial instructions. The indications for recourse to the Cump as well as the method of triggering it are based on recommendations established by French learned societies.

Effect of continuous oxygen insufflation on induced-gastric air volume during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a cadaveric model.

Background: The main objective of this study was to compare the volume of gas insufflated in the stomach with continuous external chest compressions plus continuous oxygen insufflation (C-CPR) versus standard-CPR (S-CPR) which alternates external chest compressions and synchronized positive insufflations through a bag-valve-mask with a 30/2 ratio. The secondary objective was to compare upper airway pressures (intratracheal and intramask) generated during continuous oxygen insufflation.

Material And Methods: Open, prospective, randomized, cross over, comparative, non-inferiority study.
