Prehospital emergency care family satisfaction scale for care provided by emergency medical technicians: Scale development and validation.

Rationale: To date, family satisfaction with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) has only been reported through narrative statements in subjective evaluations. Although a quantitative assessment of healthcare professional satisfaction is desirable, no specific measures have been devised to assess family satisfaction with the healthcare and care provided by EMTs.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate an EMT care family satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care.

Blockage of Akt activation suppresses cadmium-induced renal tubular cellular damages through aggrephagy in HK-2 cells.

We have reported that an environmental pollutant, cadmium, promotes cell death in the human renal tubular cells (RTCs) through hyperactivation of a serine/threonine kinase Akt. However, the molecular mechanisms downstream of Akt in this process have not been elucidated. Cadmium has a potential to accumulate misfolded proteins, and proteotoxicity is involved in cadmium toxicity.

Influence of Personal and Work Environments on Work-Life Balance Among Emergency Medical Technicians.

Introduction Work-life balance (WLB) is a critical concern for emergency medical technicians (EMTs) because it significantly affects the provision of comprehensive emergency medical services (EMS). This study investigated personal and work-related factors influencing work-to-family negative spillover (WFNS), a key element of WLB, among EMTs. Methods A web-based survey was conducted from July 26 to September 13, 2021, among EMTs in Hokkaido, Japan.

Tazobactam/ceftolozane and tobramycin combination therapy in extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in severe burn injury: a case report.

Background: Combination therapy with tazobactam/ceftolozane (TAZ/CTLZ) and high-dose aminoglycosides has been reported to be efficacious in extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. However, there are no reports of efficacy in XDR-P. aeruginosa infection for combination therapy with low-dose aminoglycosides and TAZ/CTLZ.

Prehospital emergency care patient satisfaction scale [PECPSS] for care provided by emergency medical teams: Scale development and validation.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an emergency medical technician (EMT) care patient satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care. To date, patient satisfaction surveys of EMTs have been performed subjectively, e using each facility's questionnaire, without the use of a validated patient satisfaction scale. However, no specific scale has been devised to assess patient satisfaction with EMTs.
