Advanced airway management in combat casualties by medics at the point of injury: a sub-group analysis of the reach study.

Unlabelled: background: Optimal airway management protocols for the prehospital battlefield setting have not been defined. Airway management strategies in this environment must take into account the injury patterns, the environment and training requirements of military prehospital providers.

Methods: This is a post-hoc, sub-group analysis of the Registry of Emergency Airways Arriving at Combat Hospitals or REACH database.

Intermethod reliability of real-time versus delayed videotaped evaluation of a high-fidelity medical simulation septic shock scenario.

Objectives: High-fidelity medical simulation (HFMS) is increasingly utilized in resident education and evaluation. No criterion standard of assessing performance currently exists. This study compared the intermethod reliability of real-time versus videotaped evaluation of HFMS participant performance.

Registry of emergency airways arriving at combat hospitals.

Background: Prehospital Emergency Medical Services have demonstrated variable success with regards to prehospital airway management in U.S. civilian settings.
