Community paramedicine: cost-benefit analysis and safety evaluation in paramedical emergency services in rural areas - a scoping review.

Objective: To examine the current knowledge and possibly identify gaps in the knowledge base for cost-benefit analysis and safety concerning community paramedicine in rural areas.

Design: Scoping review.

Data Sources: MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane and Embase up to December 2020.

A prospective observational study comparing two supraglottic airway devices in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: Airway management in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is important and several methods are used. The establishment of a supraglottic airway device (SAD) is a common technique used during OHCA. Two types of SAD are routinely used in Norway; the Kings LTS-D™ and the I-gel®.

Community paramedicine-cost-benefit analysis and safety with paramedical emergency services in rural areas: scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Community paramedicine models have been developed around the world in response to demographic changes, healthcare system needs and reforms. The traditional role of the paramedic has primarily been to provide emergency medical response and transportation of patients to nearby medical facilities. As a response to healthcare service gaps in underserved communities and the growing professionalisation of the workforce, the role of community paramedicine has evolved as a new model of care.
