Team training program’s impact on medication administration, teamwork and patient safety culture in an ambulance service (TEAM-AMB): a longitudinal multimethod study protocol Open
Introduction Medication administration errors (MAEs) have the potential for significant patient harm, and the frequency of MAEs in the ambulance services is not well known. Effective teamwork is paramount for providing safe and effective p…

Static Rope Rescue Operations in Western Norway: A Retrospective Analysis of 141 Missions Open
Introduction The Norwegian national standard for rescuers describes medical and rescue requirements for helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) technical crew members, but there is a lack of scientific data supporting these requiremen…

Assessing Trauma Management in Urban and Rural Populations in Norway: A National Register-Based Research Protocol Open
Background Time is considered an essential determinant in the initial care of trauma patients. In Norway, response time (ie, time from dispatch center call to ambulance arrival at scene) is a controversial national quality indicator. Howev…

Airway Management Difficulties in a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS): A Retrospective Observational Study of 676 Out-of-Hospital Intubations Open
Background: Airway management is a key skill in any helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). Successful intubation is less often than in the hospital, and alternative forms of airway management are needed more often. Methods: Retrospec…

Incidence and challenges of helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) rescue missions with helicopter hoist operations: analysis of 11,228 daytime and nighttime missions in Switzerland Open
Objective We aimed to investigate the medical characteristics of helicopter hoist operations (HHO) in HEMS missions. Methods We designed a retrospective study evaluating all HHO and other human external cargo (HEC) missions performed by Sw…

End-tidal to arterial carbon dioxide gradient is associated with increased mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury: a retrospective observational study Open
Early definitive airway protection and normoventilation are key principles in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. These are currently guided by end tidal CO 2 as a proxy for PaCO 2 . We assessed whether the difference between e…
