Using the Goal-Question Metric (Basili et al, 2022), the aim was decided as: to analyse technology commitment for the purpose of understanding attitudes and predicting utilisation behaviour with...
The most striking abnormality is the prolonged QRS duration. The QRS duration should be up to 100 milliseconds; whereas in this example, it is considerably prolonged, resulting in a wide QRS complex....
Acute heart failure (AHF) is characterised by new onset of heart failure or worsening heart failure presenting with cardiorespiratory symptoms. It is difficult to diagnose in the prehospital...
The primary aims of this rapid review of the literature are to determine: whether the CFS could be used in the prognostication of cardiac arrest; and, secondarily, whether the tool could be adapted...
Around one in four patients with an acutely occluded coronary artery do not present with ST elevation. These acute ‘occlusive MI’ (OMI) patients do not meet the standard ST elevation criteria (mm) for...
Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are invasive devices that are widely used by paramedics for the administration of intravenous (IV) therapy; however, adverse events including PIVC-associated...
