Abstract:
AbstractIntroductionWithout a universal Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system in India, data on the epidemiology of patients who utilize EMS are limited. This retrospective chart review aimed to quantify and describe the burden of disease and patient demographics of patients who arrived by EMS to four Indian emergency departments (EDs) in order to inform a national EMS curriculum.MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed on patients transported by EMS over a three-month period in 2014 to four private EDs in India. A total of 17,541 patient records were sampled from the four sites over the study period. Of these records, 1,723 arrived by EMS and so were included for further review.ResultsA range of 1.4%-19.4% of ED patients utilized EMS to get to the ED. The majority of EMS patients were male (59%-64%) and adult or geriatric (93%-99%). The most common chief complaints and ED diagnoses were neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, trauma, and infectious disease.ConclusionsNeurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, trauma, and infectious disease are the most common problems found in patients transported by EMS in India. Adult and geriatric male patients are the most common EMS utilizers. Emergency Medical Services curricula should emphasize these knowledge areas and skills.WijesekeraO, ReedA, ChastainPS, BiggsS, ClarkEG, KoleT, ChakrapaniAT, AshishN, RajhansP, BreaudAH, JacquetGA.

Abstract:
Background and Objectives: Emergency Medical Service (EMS) protocols vary widely and may not implement best practices for exertional heat stroke (EHS). EHS is 100% survivable if best practices are implemented within 30 min. The purpose of this study is to compare EMS protocols to best practices for recognizing and treating EHS. Materials and Methods: Individuals (n = 1350) serving as EMS Medical or Physician Director were invited to complete a survey. The questions related to the EHS protocols for their EMS service. 145 individuals completed the survey (response rate = 10.74%). Chi-Squared Tests of Associations (χ2) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% CI were calculated to determine the prevalence of implementing best practices based on location, working with an athletic trainer, number of EHS cases, and years of directing. All PRs whose 95% CIs excluded 1.00 were considered statistically significant; Chi-Squared values with p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A majority of the respondents reported not using rectal thermometry for the diagnosis of EHS (n = 102, 77.93%) and not using cold water immersion for the treatment of EHS (n = 102, 70.34%). If working with an athletic trainer, EMS is more likely to implement best-practice treatment (i.e., cold-water immersion and cool-first transport-second) (69.6% vs. 36.9%, χ2 = 8.480, p < 0.004, PR = 3.15, 95% CI = 1.38, 7.18). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate a lack of implementation of best-practice standards for EHS by EMS. Working with an athletic trainer appears to increase the likelihood of following best practices. Efforts should be made to improve EMS providers’ implementation of best-practice standards for the diagnosis and management of EHS to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract:
This study evaluated emergency medical services (EMS) providers’ knowledge of exertional heat stroke (EHS) and assessed current EMS capabilities for recognizing and managing EHS. EMS providers currently practicing in the United States were recruited to complete a 25-item questionnaire. There were 216 questionnaire responses (183 complete) representing 28 states. On average, respondents were 42.0 ± 13.0 years old, male (n = 163, 75.5%), and white (n = 176, 81.5%). Most respondents were Paramedics (n = 110, 50.9%) and had ≥16 years of experience (n = 109/214, 50.9%) working in EMS. Fifty-five percent (n = 99/180) of respondents had previously treated a patient with EHS. The average number of correct answers on the knowledge assessment was 2.6 ± 1.2 out of 7 (~37% correct). Temporal (n = 79), tympanic (n = 76), and oral (n = 68) thermometers were the most prevalent methods of temperature assessment available. Chemical cold packs (n = 164) and air conditioning (n = 134) were the most prevalent cooling methods available. Respondents demonstrated poor knowledge regarding EHS despite years of experience, and over half stating they had previously treated EHS in the field. Few EMS providers reported having access to an appropriate method of assessing or cooling a patient with EHS. Updated, evidence-based training needs to be provided and stakeholders should ensure their EMS providers have access to appropriate equipment.

Abstract:
Introduction: Rural emergency departments (EDs) are important safety nets for 20% of Canadian citizens. In Quebec, the province’s 26 rural EDs treat an average of 19,000 patients/year and are on average 300 km from levels 1 and 2 trauma centers. These distances signify that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) play a considerable role in the care of rural patients. EMS in Quebec province are private local services. There are no published reports on EMS in rural Quebec. As part of a larger study on rural emergency care, this descriptive study aimed at offering a comprehensive portrait of EMS. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with managers of all paramedic services in rural Quebec. Interview questions focused on number of transports, training, availability of telemetry, GPS technologies, and work schedules. Results: Fifty managers of the 51 private companies serving the 26 rural EDs in Quebec were interviewed (response rate 98%). All were primary care paramedics (PCP). In 2010, EMS transported 40,671 patients, with 10,228 emergency transports to the rural EDs. A total of 7956 inter-facility transfers were conducted, 1499 of them emergency. Each ED required between 88 and 700 inter-facility transfers. A total of 60% (n=31/51) had GPS technology, only 25% (n=13/51) had telemetry features. Work schedules varied with 13% (n=7/51) of companies offering shifts of less than 12 hours, 28% (n=14/51) 24/7 weekly shifts, and 56% (n=29/51) a combination. Conclusion: This is the first study to describe rural EMS in Quebec. The finding that Quebec’s rural EDs are served by 51 privately-owned companies is unique in Canada. The considerable number of EMS transports, including inter-facility transfers, may reflect lack of local resources in rural EDs, the vulnerable population served, or the increased trauma risk in rural areas. Future studies should examine inter-facility transport reasons, costs, times and adequate training/scope of EMS practice.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of this paper was to present the strategic approach applied for improvement of quality in emergency medical services (EMS) in the Republic of Macedonia. This approach was accomplished through three stages: (I) assessment and recommendations for policies; (II) development of innovative evidence-based programmes; and (III) policy implementation. Strategic assessment of EMS was performed by applying WHO standard methodology. A survey was conducted in 2006/2007 on the national level in fifteen general hospitals, four university hospitals, and sixteen pre-hospital EMS. The overall evaluation was based on a hospital emergency department (ED) questionnaire, information on the general characteristics of the pre-hospital dispatch centre, review of ED medical records, and the patient questionnaire. The key findings of the assessment showed that EMS required extensive changes and improvements. Pre-hospital EMS was not well-developed and utilised. Hospital EDs were not organised as separate divisions ran by a head medical doctor. The diagnostic and treatment capacities were insufficient or outdated. Most of the surveyed hospitals were capable of providing essential diagnostic tests in 24 h or less. There was no follow-up of the EMS patients or an appropriate link between the hospital EDs and primary health care facilities. The main findings of the assessment, recommendations, and proposals for action served as the basis for new policies and integrated into Macedonia’s official strategy for emergency medical services 2009-2017.

AbstractObjectivesTriage is fundamental to emergency patient assessment. Effective triage systems accurately prioritize patients and help predict resource utilization. CTAS is a validated five-level triage score utilized in Emergency Departments (EDs) across Canada and internationally. Historically CTAS has been applied by triage nurses in EDs. Observational evidence suggests that the CTAS might be implemented reliably by paramedics in the prehospital setting. This is the first system-wide assessment of CTAS interrater reliability between paramedics and triage nurses during clinical practice.MethodsVariables were extracted from hospital and EMS databases. EMS providers determined CTAS on-scene, CTAS pre-transport, and CTAS on-arrival at hospital for each patient (N=14,378). The hospital arrival EMS CTAS (CTASarrival) score was compared to the initial nursing CTAS score (CTASinitial) and the final nursing CTAS score (CTASfinal) incuding nursing overrides. Interrater reliability between ED CTASinitial and EMS CTASarrival scores was assessed. Interrater reliability between ED CTASfinal and EMS CTASarrival scores, as well as proportion of patient encounters with perfect or near-perfect agreement, were evaluated.ResultsOur primary outcome, interrater reliability [kappa=0.437 (p<0.001, 95% CI 0.421-0.452)], indicated moderate agreement. EMS CTASarrival and ED CTASinitial scores had an exact or within one point match 84.3% of the time. The secondary interrater reliability outcome between hospital arrival EMS CTAS (CTASarrival) score and the final ED triage CTAS score (CTASfinal) showed moderate agreement with kappa =0.452 (p<0.001, 95% CI 0.437-0.466).ConclusionsInterrater reliability of CTAS scoring between triage nurses and paramedics was moderate in this system-wide implementation study.

Abstract:
The influence of environmental management system (EMS) on corporate financial performance within the African corporate context has persistently remained lacking and inconclusive, attributed primarily to the absence of data. However, this study investigates the influence of EMS on corporate financial performance measured by earnings per share (EPS) of 65 Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed environmental sensitive companies from 2014 to 2018. Size was used as a control variable. Using SPPS version 28, this study discover vast evidence of a favourable association between EMS and EPS. The importance of EMA cannot be underestimated. Therefore, this study makes available valuable insights on in what way companies can wholly apply EMS to upsurge corporate financial performance. It was concluded that the government should regulate the implementation of EMS within companies as a source of climate change mitigation and as a strategy to upswing financial and environmental performance.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore how corporate environmental strategies, namely, environmental management strategy (EMS) and green product strategy (GPS), affect the competitiveness of a firm. In addition, this study investigates whether the environmental collaboration in supply chains (ECSC), namely, environmental collaboration with suppliers (ECS), and environmental collaboration with customers (ECC) moderate the environment-performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach – Survey methodology and regression modeling are adopted to assess the relationship between corporate environmental strategy and competitive performance of a company, including the moderating effects of ECSC. Findings – Competitiveness is positively affected by EMS and GPS. ECSC moderately affects the links among EMS, GPS, and competitiveness. Regarding the differences between the impacts of ECS and ECC on performance, only ECS acts as a moderator in the enhancement of EMS and GPS. Thus, ECS positively contributes to enhance competitive advantage. In contrast to perceptions, ECC directly improves firm competitiveness. Research limitations/implications – The findings support the understanding that the moderating role of ECSC may explain the conflicting results in environment-performance linkages. In particular, suppliers and customers could impact EMS and GPS in direct or interactive ways, or both, to enhance the performance of a firm. Practical implications – Significant performance improvements are influenced not only by the real environmental commitment of companies to internal green management but also by the positive relations of firms with their external cooperative capabilities in environmental relationships with chain partners. Originality/value – This research is the first to suggest and empirically test the moderating impacts of ECSC on the relationship between corporate environmental strategy and competitiveness.

Abstract:
Introduction: Improper initial management of a victim in severe hypothermia is associated with a risk of cardiac arrest. At the same time, an uncontrolled drop in core body temperature in trauma victims is an independent risk factor for mortality. Medical personnel require a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of hypothermia. Gaps in this understanding can lead to serious complications for patients. The aim: To compare knowledge concerning hypothermia between medical personnel working in emergency departments (ED) and emergency medical services (EMS). Materials and methods: A total of 5,362 participants were included in the study. In this study, EMS and ED personnel were encouraged to participate in an e-learning course on hypothermia. Subsequently, the scores of a pre-test, lesson tests and post-test completed by participants of this course were compared. Results: Pre-test scores were significantly higher among personnel working in EMS compared with those working in EDs. Nurses employed in EDs had significantly more failures in completing the course than EMS nurses. The most difficult topics for all practitioners were post-traumatic hypothermia and hypothermia-related clotting disorders. Conclusions: EMS personnel have a higher level of knowledge of hypothermia than ED personnel. Moreover, an e-learning course is an effective tool for improving medical personnel’s knowledge of hypothermia.

Michael additions and reactions with haloalkanes have demonstrated the synthetic usefulness of the C-2 and C-4 anions in ceph-3-em sulphides and sulphoxides for the formation of a range of novel compounds (A-H). Other compounds prepared from similiar reactions include (I-O). A reverse Michael addition was attempted on the C-4 mono-adducts (M) and (N) and di-adducts (L) and (O). Determination of the configuration of the di-adducts (F) and (I) was accomplished by de-esterification followed by decarboxylation and resulted in the novel ceph-3-em (P). Conversion of (J) and (K) into novel ceph-3-ems (Q) and (R) bearing C-2 exocyclic bond systems via a Pummerer rearrangement is described. Attempts at a Pummerer rearrangement of (D) and (E) failed. Numerous attempts at a Cope rearrangement on ceph-2-em sulphoxide (G) and sulphide (H) failed. De-esterification reactions of the new ceph-3-ems to their corresponding acids were unsuccessful.

Abstract:

A K-12 education should prepare students for their transition to postsecondary life, regardless of the nature of such a future. This study aims to explore the secondary and postsecondary experiences of alumni from East Menlow School (EMS), a co-educational, K-12, college-prep, independent day school on the east coast of the United States. By surveying and interviewing faculty and alumni, this mixed-methods study seeks to identify which student and teacher characteristics or practices, curricular and pedagogical practices, and school and family supports contribute to the high school completion and persistence through at least the first year of their postsecondary institution of EMS students in general and EMS students with learning differences (LD) in particular. A young adult’s persistence to college graduation is multi-dimensional. Learning differences add an extra layer of academic and non-academic difficulty. As a result, it is vital that educators understand the needs of their LD students.

While the perspectives of EMS alumni in general, both non-LD and LD, are analyzed, this study further seeks to compare and contrast the experiences of EMS alumni with dyslexia, also known as a reading disability or reading disorder, with their non-LD and other LD peers. For many students, the ability to read and to write is the foundation of college success. Since the juried literature is scant in independent schools, this study attempts to provide a foundation for other research on LD students in independent schools.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a study on efficient dispatching rules in ambulance dispatching. By efficient dispatching rules, we mean such dispatching rules that lower response times for priority 1 calls while keeping response times for priority 2 calls at an adequate level. A Markov process and a simulation model were developed in order to evaluate the performance of several existing and newly designed dispatching rules. On four different response areas, five different dispatching rules were tested and their performances were compared. Particular focus was put upon the dispatch rule currently used by the Swedish emergency service provider SOS Alarm; the Closest rule. Our findings indicate that the four priority-based dispatching rules all outperform the Closest rule in decreasing the mean response time for calls of priority degree 1. Furthermore, implementing restrictions on the travel time for priority 2 calls was proven an efficient way to control the trade-off between the mean response time of priority 1 and 2 calls. The conclusion was drawn that the possibilities for more efficient ambulance dispatching are many and that SOS Alarm should consider implementing priority-based dispatching rules, alike the ones presented in this thesis, in their dispatching process. A study of the ambulance operator and controller profession, and the operator’s and controller’s interplay with the decision support system used by SOS Alarm in the ambulance dispatching process, was conducted in parallel. The properties of the interaction dynamics between operator and automation and the dangers linked to it were mapped out, described and analyzed.
Denna kandidatexamensuppsats behandlar effektiva dirigeringsstrategier inom ambulansdirigering. Effektiva dirigeringsstrategier åsyftar dirigeringsstrategier som lyckas sänka svarstiden för inkommande prioritet 1-samtal, samtidigt som svarstiden för prioritet 2-samtal hålls på en tillfredsställande nivå. I syfte att utvärdera olika dirigeringsstrategier utvecklades både en Markovsk modell och en simuleringsmodell. På fyra olika geografiska områden testades och jämfördes. Fem olika dirigeringsstrategier, varav två existerande och tre nyutvecklade. Särskilt fokus riktades mot Closest rule, vilket är den dirigeringsstrategi som används i SOS Alarms verksamhet idag. Från resultaten kunde utläsas att de prioritets-baserade dirigeringsstrategierna resulterade i en lägre genomsnittlig svarstid för prioritet 1-fall än Closest rule. Dessutom konstaterades det att en begränsning av svarstiderna för prioritet 2-samtal var ett effektivt sätt att kontrollera balansen mellan de genomsnittliga svarstiderna för samtal av prioritet 1, respektive 2. Slutsatsen drogs att möjligheterna för att utveckla nya effektiva dirigeringsstrategier är många och att SOS Alarm bör överväga att implementera prioritetsbaserade dirigeringsstrategier likt dem som presenterats i denna uppsats. Parallellt studerades ambulansoperatörens och -dirigentens yrkeskunnande, samt operatörens och dirigentens samspel med det beslutsstödssystem som används i SOS Alarms dirigeringsverksamhet. Interaktionen mellan operatör och automatisering samt de relaterade riskerna kartlades, beskrevs och analyserades.

Abstract:
Abstract The Steam injection through multi-hole spargers into the pressure suppression pool (PSP) is used in light water reactors to prevent containment over-pressure. The development of thermal stratification in the PSP can reduce its cooling capacity and results in higher containment pressures compared to completely mixed pool conditions. Explicit modelling of direct contact condensation (DCC) of steam at the steam-water interface is a challenge for contemporary codes. Effective Heat Source (EHS) and Effective Momentum Source (EMS) models have been proposed to enable the prediction of thermal stratification and mixing transients induced by steam condensation in a large pool. The general idea of the EHS/EMS is to resolve the effect of the DCC phenomena on a large pool, instead of explicit modelling of the small-scale phenomena at steam-water interface. The EHS/EMS models can be implemented using (i) respective boundary conditions at the boundary of the Steam Condensation Region (SCR) or (ii) using source terms in the heat and momentum transport equations. In previous work, EHS/EMS models were implemented using the second approach and validated against data from PPOOLEX and PANDA tests. It was found that results are sensitive to the spatial distribution of the source terms. Since the current data are not sufficient to provide a reasonable distribution, a preliminary study of the first method was done in this paper. The goal of this work is to develop a ‘Unit Cell’ model by using respective boundary conditions for steam injection through multi-hole sparger. The condensed turbulent jet is resolved by introducing the liquid jet with the same effective momentum and heat as the injected steam. A uniform velocity profile solved by EMS model and the temperature boundary solved by EHS model is provided on each injection hole of the sparger wall. Validation is conducted against sparger test in PANDA facilities.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper investigates how different on-board energy management system (EMS) algorithms can affect the total energy consumption considering propulsion, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) operation and thermal comfort requirements. Firstly, an integrated plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain and HVAC model including vehicle cabin has been developed as a demonstrator. Two different EMS algorithms - namely a rule-based and an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) one - are applied to the integrated PHEV model and evaluated under different environmental conditions. The results showed that the HVAC system operation affects the total energy consumption benefits when ECMS algorithm is used over the rule-based. ECMS reduces the total energy consumption by 2.5% compared to rule-based without HVAC operation, while the total energy consumption reduction changes to 5.3% and 6.3% when HVAC provides heating and cooling power respectively. Furthermore, the ECMS algorithm can reach the target of sufficient thermal comfort 1 minute earlier than rule-based in WLTC cycle. Based on the above findings we recommend evaluating the EMS algorithms with integrated propulsion and the HVAC system modeling. By applying it to real EMS unit energy consumption reduction of new vehicles under real-world operating conditions can be expected.</div></div>
