Article Synopsis
- Traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TOHCA) is a significant public health issue in Thailand, heavily influenced by high accident rates and inconsistent prehospital care.
- A study analyzed data from the Emergency Medicine System over 11 years, finding that of 35,724 TOHCA patients, about 18.5% survived to hospital admission, with key factors influencing survival including stopping bleeding, intubation, and defibrillation.
- The research suggests that improving prehospital management—such as fluid administration and timely intervention—can enhance survival rates for TOHCA victims.
Introduction: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality for hospitalized patients worldwide. This study aimed to identify associated factors of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival with favorable neurological outcomes of IHCA patients.
Method: A two-year retrospective cohort study was conducted at a university-based tertiary care hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, studying adult patients aged ≥ 18 years with IHCA from January 2021 to December 2022.
Success Rate on Endotracheal Intubation with Prone versus Kneeling Position in Mannequin Model with Limitation of Neck Movement: A Cross Over Study.
Open Access Emerg Med
April 2022
Purpose: Endotracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure for airway management but is more complex when performed in patients lying on the ground and requiring cervical spine immobilization. This study aims to compare the optimal technique between prone and kneeling positions in increasing intubation success rate on these prehospital trauma patients.
Patients And Methods: This study was an experimental study on a mannequin.
