Abstract:
IntroductionRegionalised trauma systems have been shown to improve outcomes for trauma patients. However, the evaluation of these trauma systems has been oriented towards in-hospital care. Therefore, the epidemiology and care delivered to the injured patients who died in the prehospital setting remain poorly studied. This study aims to provide an overview of a methodological approach to reviewing trauma deaths in order to assess the preventability, identify areas for improvements in the system of care provided to these patients and evaluate the potential for novel interventions to improve outcomes for seriously injured trauma patients.Methods and analysisThe planned study is a retrospective review of prehospital and early in-hospital (<24 hours) deaths following traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest that were attended by Ambulance Victoria between 2008 and 2014. Eligible patients will be identified from the Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry and linked with the National Coronial Information System. For patients who were transported to hospital, data will be linked the Victoria State Trauma Registry. The project will be undertaken in four phases: (1) survivability assessment; (2) preventability assessment; (3) identification of potential areas for improvement; and (4) identification of potentially useful novel technologies. Survivability assessment will be based on predetermined anatomical injuries considered unsurvivable. For patients with potentially survivable injuries, multidisciplinary expert panel reviews will be conducted to assess the preventability as well as the identification of potential areas for improvement and the utility of novel technologies.Ethics and disseminationThe present study was approved by the Victorian Department of Justice and Regulation HREC (CF/16/272) and the Monash University HREC (CF16/532 – 2016000259). Results of the study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and reports provided to Ambulance Victoria, the Victorian State Trauma Committee and the Victorian State Government Department of Health and Human Services.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the incidence of low amplitude ventricular fibrillation and its impact on successful cardioversion, duration of resuscitation, and survival to hospital discharge in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis from a statewide registry. SETTING: Victoria, Australia. PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive initial ventricular fibrillation arrests with an emergency medical service (EMS)-attempted resuscitation between 1 February 2019 and 30 January 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival to hospital discharge, successful cardioversion, and duration of resuscitation. RESULTS: Of the 471 initial ventricular fibrillation arrests, 429 (91.1%) had sufficient electrocardiogram data for review. The median initial and final ventricular fibrillation amplitude did not differ (0.3 mV; interquartile range [IQR], 0.2–0.5 mV). The final pre-shock amplitude was ≤ 0.1 mV (very fine) and ≤ 0.2 mV (fine) in 22.8% and 37.5% of cases respectively. In a multivariable analysis, only the time between emergency call and first defibrillation was associated with a low initial ventricular fibrillation amplitude ≤ 0.2 mV (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02–1.13; P = 0.004). After adjustment for arrest factors, every 0.1 mV increase in final amplitude was independently associated with survival to hospital discharge (aOR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.14–1.39; P < 0.001) and initial cardioversion success (aOR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07–1.32; P = 0.001). The duration of resuscitation also increased by 1.7 minutes (95% CI, 1.03–2.36; P < 0.001) for every 0.1 mV increase in final amplitude. CONCLUSION: More than one-third of initial ventricular fibrillation OHCA cases were low in amplitude. Comparative international data are needed to better understand how low amplitude ventricular fibrillation rhythms confound the measurement of OHCA interventions and international benchmarks for survival outcomes.

Abstract:
This thesis was written to address a problem with ambulance service delivery times in Victoria, Australia. For a number of years, ambulance response times have been increasing to unacceptable levels. As a result of the ever-increasing problem it was appropriate to see if the are other alternative solutions producing better results. There are a number of different service delivery models for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) around the world. The main two are the Anglo/American model (also known as scoop and run) and the Franco/German model (also known a stay and play). There are also two major delivery agencies; the British model of a separate third party public sector service as used in UK, Australia and New Zealand or the fire service model where the fire service is the main delivery agency such as most of Asia, Europe and North America. Which model provides the best outcome for the patient? Such research has not been done in the past. The research will also examine if the Metropolitan Fire brigade has capacity to undertake possible EMS roles. A number of case studies were undertaken and explored with key issues of response times, patient outcomes, skills and new technologies compared. The results, particularly of response time show that in Victoria the response time for fire EMS (8.3 minutes) to medical emergencies is similar to that provided by fire services delivering EMS in North America. The MFB in Victoria is providing the equivalent of first responder; the American and Canadian fire services are delivering Advanced Life Support (ALS). The response times for Basic Life Support (BLS) in Victoria provided by ambulance service are over twice as long (8.3 minutes for fire compared to 18.2 minutes for Victorian Ambulance at the 90%). The US and Canadian Fire Services provide EMS response time considerably lower than Ambulance Victoria, some as low as 7.43 minutes. UK Ambulance (on which the Victorian model is based) also provides response time considerably less than Ambulance Victoria. The issue of whether the fire service in Victoria has capacity to undertake further EMS delivery was explored and whilst it has the capacity it is doubtful it could be delivered in the current industrial environment with the union having the capability of vetoing managerial decisions. The research raised fundamental questions regarding the effective use of scarce public sector resources and agencies working across organisational boundaries in the interests of serving the public. Data analysis involved pattern matching, explanation building and time series analysis to identify trends and commonalities across the cases. A number of themes emerged including continued increases in call volumes, challenges meeting response times and the development of proactive programs to reduce the impact of these trends.
