The role of accidental hypothermia in drowning patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A nationwide registry-based cohort study.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the associations between hypothermia and mortality or poor neurological outcome in a nationwide cohort of drowning patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods: This nationwide, registry-based cohort study reported in-hospital data on drowning patients with OHCA following the Utstein Style For Drowning. Drowning patients with OHCA were identified in the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry from 2016 to 2021.

Geographical location of ischemic stroke patients affects thrombolysis availability in Denmark.

Introduction: Early recognition and treatment of stroke is paramount for good outcome. Transport distance may result in delayed arrival for revascularization therapy. We investigated how transport time and distance to the revascularization unit affected the probability of receiving intravenous thrombolysis in Denmark between 2015 and 2020, for patients calling the Emergency Medical Services within three hours of symptom onset.

Emergency call utilization over a 10-years period: an observational study in Region Zealand, Denmark, 2013-2022.

Background: Improving prehospital emergency care requires a comprehensive understanding of the efficiency of emergency medical services and demand fluctuations. The medical emergency call is the primary contact between citizens and the emergency medical dispatch center, serving as the gateway to accessing emergency assistance. This study aimed to characterize the emergency call population and analyze the development of emergency call utilization in Region Zealand in Denmark during a 10-years period.

Magnetic field-assisted nanochain formation of intermixed catalytic Co-Pd nanoparticles.

Engineering on the nanoscale often involves optimizing performance by designing and creating new types of nanostructured materials. Multifunctional nanoparticles can be formed by combining elements that carry fundamentally different properties. The elements can be chosen based on the desired functionality, and by combining, , magnetic, and catalytic elements, it is possible to self-assemble nanoparticles into catalytically active magnetic nanochains.

Racing against time: Emergency ambulance dispatches and response times, a register-based study in Region Zealand, Denmark, 2013-2022.

Background: The global strain on Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is reflected in the increasing number of emergency ambulance dispatches. Shorter EMS response times have demonstrated some effect on very specific and rare conditions. It is unknown if the increased number of ambulance dispatches compromises response times.
