The Effect of Fatigue During Search and Rescue Efforts in Debris on The Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Prehosp Emerg Care
January 2025
Occupational Therapy Program, Health Services Vocational School, Artvin Çoruh University.
Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is used in cases of life-threatening cardiopulmonary arrest, is a physically exhausting procedure. Adding to that, sometimes, even before performing CPR, interventions to rescue the injured person from a challenging environment have caused significant fatigue. In this study, taking a novel research approach, we generated a scenario of fatigue during a rescue from earthquake debris and aimed to measure the effect of that fatigue on the quality of CPR performed by paramedics.

Objectives: Prehospital endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a lifesaving procedure with known complications. To reduce ETI-associated morbidity and mortality, organizations prioritize first-pass success (FPS). However, there are few data evaluating the association of FPS with clinician licensure.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a key efflux transporter and may be involved in drug-drug interactions (DDIs) at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which could lead to changes in central nervous system (CNS) drug exposure. Morphine is a P-gp substrate and therefore a potential victim drug for P-gp mediated DDIs. It is however unclear if P-gp inhibitors can induce clinically relevant changes in morphine CNS exposure.

Department of Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA; Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Gentrification is associated with redistribution of shootings but impacts on access to care are unknown. We evaluate the association of gentrification with shooting rates, transport times, and survival in Boston.
Methods: Gentrification was defined using income, housing, and educational attainment from the 2010-2020 census.
Health-seeking behaviours and traditional healer practices for snakebite in rural and tribal communities in southern India.
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg

The Wellcome Trust Research Laboratory, Division of Gastrointestinal Sciences, Christian Medical College, Vellore 632004, Tamil Nadu, India.
Article Synopsis
- Nearly 60,000 people in India die from snakebites each year, mainly in rural and tribal areas, prompting a study on snakebite epidemiology and treatment in Tamil Nadu.
- A cross-sectional survey revealed that snakebite incidence and mortality rates were similar in two studied regions, with high reliance on traditional healers for initial treatment, particularly in Jawadhu Hills.
- Major challenges include the use of dangerous first aid practices, poor communication between traditional healers and the healthcare system, and insufficient transportation options to health facilities, necessitating community awareness and better public transport solutions.
