Introduction

Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) represent a significant global health challenge, with a disproportionate burden on low- and middle-income countries. Vehicle extrication is a critical Emergency Medical Service (EMS) intervention enabling early assessment and treatment of entrapped patients but remains understudied in resource-limited settings despite its potential impact on patient outcomes. This study describes the RTC extrication burden managed by a public sector EMS in the Western Cape, South Africa.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of Computer-Aided-Dispatch (CAD) and a paper-based rescue case record data related to the extrication practises of 97 Advanced Medical Rescuers stationed across 25 rescue stations throughout the Western Cape of South Africa. Standard descriptive statistical procedures were applied to all variables.

Results

Of 2,587,979 EMS activations during the study period, 23,899 (0.9 %) required specialised medical rescue activations, and 11,699 (0.5 %) were for transport-related emergencies. Of these, 719 (6.1 %) cases necessitated vehicle extrication. Light motor vehicles accounted for most extrications (78.2 %, n = 562), while heavy motor vehicles showed higher proportional extrication rates (127.5 vs. 75.8 extrications per 1,000 RTCs). Peak rescue activations occurred between 08h00 and 20h00 (11.9 %, n = 1,388). The predominant extrication techniques were vehicle stabilisation (24.9 %, n = 501), third-door conversion (23.9 %, n = 482 ), and dashboard lift (13.9 %, n = 282). Most patients (83.1 %, n = 24,588) presented with routine (green) or non-urgent (yellow) acuity, though rural areas exhibited a higher proportion of high-acuity cases

Conclusion

This first comprehensive analysis of the RTC extrication burden in a South African province reveals significant spatial and temporal variations in rescue needs and techniques. Our findings provide valuable extrication-related data to inform targeted training programs, standardised extrication protocols, and strategic resource allocation to enhance EMS capabilities in resource-limited settings. These insights provide a foundation for workforce planning and specialised training to improve outcomes for entrapped RTC patients in similar contexts.
道路交通碰撞是一项重大的全球卫生挑战,对低收入和中等收入国家造成了不成比例的负担。车辆解救是一项关键的紧急医疗服务(EMS)干预措施,能够早期评估和治疗被困患者,但在资源有限的环境中,尽管其对患者预后有潜在影响,但仍未得到充分研究。本研究描述了南非西开普省公共部门EMS管理的RTC解脱负担。方法回顾性分析了南非西开普省25个救援站的97名高级医疗救援人员的计算机辅助调度(CAD)和纸质救援病例记录数据。所有变量均采用标准描述性统计程序。结果在研究期间的2,587,979次EMS激活中,23,899次(0.9%)需要专门的医疗救援激活,11,699次(0.5%)用于与运输相关的紧急情况。其中,719例(6.1%)需要车辆搭救。轻型机动车辆占大多数(78.2%,n = 562),而重型机动车辆的比例解救率更高(每1,000 rtc有127.5对75.8次解救)。高峰救援活动发生在08:00至20h00之间(11.9%,n = 1388)。主要的解救方法是车辆稳定(24.9%,n = 501)、第三门转换(23.9%,n = 482)和仪表板提升(13.9%,n = 282)。大多数患者(83.1%,n = 24,588)表现为常规(绿色)或非紧急(黄色)视力,尽管农村地区表现出较高比例的高视力病例。结论:对南非省RTC解脱负担的首次综合分析显示,在救援需求和技术方面存在显著的时空差异。我们的研究结果为有针对性的培训计划、标准化的急救方案和战略性资源分配提供了有价值的相关数据,以提高资源有限环境下急救服务的能力。这些见解为劳动力规划和专业培训提供了基础,以改善类似情况下被困RTC患者的预后。

Introduction

Non-compressible torso haemorrhage (NCTH), resulting from penetrating trauma to the chest, abdomen, or pelvis, places patients at high risk of death. The objectives of this study are to characterize the injury profile of patients with penetrating NCTH who receive care within a tiered public trauma system in South Africa and to identify factors associated with mortality.

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of clinical data collected from Sept-2021 through Dec-2023 across 6 hospitals, 4 ambulance bases, and 2 mortuaries in the Western Cape Province that form a cohesive trauma referral pathway. The study included patients age ≥18 years with penetrating NCTH who arrived at the hospital within 3 h and received blood products within 6 h of injury. NCTH was defined as Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) ≥ 2 to chest, abdomen or pelvis, with a systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mm Hg. Data were analysed using multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards modelling.

Results

There were 202 patients with penetrating NCTH; median age was 29 years, 94 % male, injured by stab wounds (66 %) and gunshot wounds (31 %). Most patients (85 %) sustained injuries to the chest, 33 % to the abdomen, and 1.5 % to the bony pelvis. In a multivariable logistic regression model, elevated Triage Early Warning Score (TEWS ≥7) (OR 4.45, 95 % CI 1.58–13.90), elevated New Injury Severity Score (NISS >25) (OR 4.35, 95 % CI 1.45–16.30), anatomic injury to the abdomen/pelvis (OR 2.76, 95 % CI 1.03–7.74), and receipt of acute airway intervention (OR 4.97, 95 % CI 1.94–13.20) were significantly associated with 7-day in-hospital mortality.

Conclusion

Among patients with penetrating injuries to the torso, high triage scores, high injury severity, early airway interventions, and penetrating abdominal trauma were associated with elevated mortality risk.
不可压缩性躯干出血(NCTH),由胸部、腹部或骨盆的穿透性创伤引起,使患者具有很高的死亡风险。本研究的目的是描述在南非分层公共创伤系统中接受治疗的穿透性NCTH患者的损伤概况,并确定与死亡率相关的因素。方法对西开普省6家医院、4个救护基地和2个停尸房从2021年9月至2023年12月收集的临床数据进行二次分析,形成了一个凝聚力的创伤转诊途径。该研究纳入年龄≥18岁的穿透性NCTH患者,这些患者在受伤后3小时内到达医院,并在受伤后6小时内接受血液制品。NCTH定义为胸、腹或骨盆的简易损伤量表(AIS)≥2,收缩压≤100 mm Hg。数据采用多变量logistic回归和Cox比例风险模型进行分析。结果202例穿透性NCTH;中位年龄为29岁,94%为男性,伤于刺伤(66%)和枪伤(31%)。大多数患者(85%)胸部受伤,33%腹部受伤,1.5%骨盆受伤。在多变量logistic回归模型中,Triage早期预警评分(TEWS≥7)升高(OR 4.45, 95% CI 1.58-13.90)、新损伤严重程度评分(NISS >25)升高(OR 4.35, 95% CI 1.45-16.30)、腹部/骨盆解剖性损伤(OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.03-7.74)和接受急性气道干预(OR 4.97, 95% CI 1.94-13.20)与住院7天死亡率显著相关。结论在躯干穿透伤患者中,分诊评分高、损伤严重程度高、早期气道干预和腹部穿透伤与死亡风险升高相关。

Introduction

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed on victims of cardiac arrest. It is important for health professionals to successfully perform these lifesaving skills. This study aimed to assess the CPR knowledge, attitude, practice, and associated factors of physicians working at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Eastern Ethiopia.

Methods

An institutional-based cross-sectional study was implemented. A stratified random sampling technique was used. A self-administered questionnaire and a manikin was used to assess CPR skills. The results are presented in the text, tables, and graphs. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with levels of competency. The adjusted odds ratio with the corresponding 95 % confidence interval was calculated to show the strength of the association.

Results

This study revealed that 63.7 % [95 % CI 57 % -71 %] of the physicians had good knowledge, and their overall competency in CPR was found to be 63 % [95 % CI 54 % - 72 %]. They have a positive attitude regarding the importance of CPR and a willingness to provide CPR. Physicians who took resuscitation training (adjusted odds ratio 11.8 [4.29–32.42]) and a specialist (adjusted odds ratio 7.99 [1.87–34.27]) were more competent than their counterparts.

Discussion

The results demonstrate suboptimal CPR competency among physicians’ representatives at a tertiary hospital in Eastern Ethiopia. Taking CPR training and being a specialist were found to have an effect on being competent in CPR. Participants reported positive attitudes toward doing CPR. A system of regular, updated refresher training for physicians should be implemented to maintain CPR competencies. Hospitals should also be equipped with materials and drugs needed for CPR.
心肺复苏(CPR)是对心脏骤停的受害者进行的。对卫生专业人员来说,成功地运用这些救生技能是很重要的。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚东部Hiwot Fana综合专科医院医生的心肺复苏术知识、态度、实践及相关因素。方法采用基于机构的横断面研究。采用分层随机抽样技术。一份自我管理的问卷和一个人体模型被用来评估心肺复苏术的技能。结果以文本、表格和图表的形式呈现。使用多元逻辑回归来确定与能力水平相关的因素。计算校正后的比值比和相应的95%置信区间,以显示这种关联的强度。结果63.7% (95% CI 57% ~ 71%)的内科医生具备良好的心肺复苏术知识,63% (95% CI 54% ~ 72%)的内科医生具备心肺复苏术的综合能力。他们对心肺复苏术的重要性有积极的态度,并愿意提供心肺复苏术。接受过复苏培训的内科医生(调整优势比为11.8[4.29-32.42])和专科医生(调整优势比为7.99[1.87-34.27])比同行更有能力。讨论结果表明,在埃塞俄比亚东部三级医院的医生代表的心肺复苏术能力次优。研究发现,接受心肺复苏术培训和成为专家对胜任心肺复苏术有影响。参与者报告了对心肺复苏术的积极态度。应该对医生进行定期更新的进修培训,以保持心肺复苏术的能力。医院也应该配备心肺复苏术所需的材料和药物。

Introduction

Growing responsibility and changes to paramedicine and prehospital care have led to rapid developments in paramedicine education. Despite educational requirements at increasingly advanced levels, it remains unclear how academia has responded to these changes and if they're developing the requisite skills and knowledge.

Methods

A scoping review was undertaken to understand the present role of paramedicine educators and how they've adapted to the evolution of paramedicine education worldwide. Data searches were performed across eight electronic databases, six paramedicine journals, grey literature, and included sources reference lists.

Results

The four-staged search strategy revealed 1,738 sources, of which 32 remained for final synthesis. In general, there was a lack of contemporary research examining the role of the paramedicine educator despite changes to Higher Education provision and function of paramedics. Noteworthy was the absence of articles from Africa, South America, and major parts of Europe, highlighting the need for development in these regions. There is a lack of clear role descriptions or definitions for paramedicine educators. Inconsistencies were highlighted in entry criteria and progression routes across paramedicine academia globally, emphasising the importance of support for transitioning and established paramedicine educators.

Discussion

These findings have important implications for Higher Education. Professional demands are on the rise, creating a need to introduce clearly defined roles for paramedicine educators to provide clarity in expectations and increase confidence. The changing landscape of care provision in paramedicine from the historic emergency care focussed model to a more autonomous and inclusive sphere of out-of-hospital care, provides an ideal opportunity to progress and shape the identity of the paramedicine educator.
护理医学和院前护理的责任和变化导致了护理医学教育的快速发展。尽管高等教育对教育的要求越来越高,但学术界如何应对这些变化,以及他们是否在培养必要的技能和知识,目前还不清楚。方法进行范围综述,了解当前辅助医学教育者的角色,以及他们如何适应全球辅助医学教育的发展。数据检索在8个电子数据库、6个辅助医学期刊、灰色文献和包括的来源参考列表中进行。结果四阶段搜索策略共发现1738个源,其中32个源待最终合成。总的来说,尽管高等教育的提供和护理人员的功能发生了变化,但缺乏当代研究来检查护理医学教育者的作用。值得注意的是,没有来自非洲、南美洲和欧洲主要地区的文章,强调了这些地区发展的必要性。辅助医学教育工作者缺乏明确的角色描述或定义。强调了全球辅助医学学术界在入职标准和晋升途径方面的不一致性,强调了支持过渡和建立辅助医学教育工作者的重要性。这些发现对高等教育具有重要意义。专业需求正在上升,因此需要为辅助医学教育者引入明确定义的角色,以提供清晰的期望并增加信心。从历史上以紧急护理为重点的模式到更加自主和包容的院外护理领域,护理提供的变化景观为护理教育者的进步和塑造身份提供了理想的机会。

Introduction

Trauma is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability globally. In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of specialist emergency care personnel is inadequate and task shifting is common. We aimed to assess the variation in knowledge on acute trauma care, and self-perceived confidence in performing lifesaving skills amongst final year medical students in Uganda.

Methods

We conducted a multi-institutional, cross-sectional survey among final year medical students who had just completed their training from eight medical schools in Uganda. We assessed knowledge using a 25 standardized multiple-choice question test adopted from a previous study, and self-reported confidence in perfuming lifesaving skills, scored on a 5-Point Likert scale.

Results

Some 246 (88.5 %) participants responded to the survey and 241 provided complete data. The mean knowledge score was 58.9 % (SD; 12.4) with a mean variation ratio of 0.36 (SD; 0.17). The mean self-perceived confidence score of the participants was 3.8 (SD; 1.0) with relatively high scores in interpretation of radiological investigations (mean 4.2, SD; 0.9) and patient assessment (mean 4.1, SD; 0.9), and lower scores in management of different categories of trauma patients (mean 3.8, SD; 1.0) and performing life-saving procedures (mean 3.5, SD; 0.9). Only three institutions had emergency medicine physicians, with one at each institution, and 146 (60.6 %) of participants received no dedicated trauma training.

Conclusion

Final year medical students exiting training in Uganda had variable knowledge in acute trauma care and intermediate self-perceived confidence in performing lifesaving skills. Training programs need to standardize and strengthen acute trauma training and provide specialists and resources essential for trauma training at undergraduate level.
创伤是全球死亡和长期残疾的主要原因之一。在撒哈拉以南非洲,专业急救人员数量不足,任务转移很常见。我们的目的是评估乌干达最后一年医科学生在急性创伤护理知识的差异,以及在执行救生技能方面的自我感知信心。方法我们对乌干达八所医学院刚完成培训的最后一年级医学生进行了多机构横断面调查。我们使用先前研究中采用的25个标准化选择题测试来评估知识,并根据5分李克特量表对香水救生技能的自我报告信心进行评估。结果246人(88.5%)回复问卷,241人提供完整资料。平均知识得分为58.9% (SD;12.4),平均变异比为0.36 (SD;0.17)。参与者的自我知觉自信平均得分为3.8分(SD;1.0),在放射学调查的解释方面得分相对较高(平均4.2,SD;0.9)和患者评估(平均4.1,SD;在不同类型创伤患者的管理中得分较低(平均3.8,SD;1.0)和执行救生程序(平均3.5,SD;0.9)。只有三个机构有急诊医生,每个机构有一名,146名(60.6%)参与者没有接受专门的创伤培训。结论在乌干达接受培训的最后一年医学生对急性创伤护理的知识参差不齐,对执行救生技能的自我认知信心中等。培训计划需要规范和加强急性创伤培训,并为本科水平的创伤培训提供必要的专家和资源。

Background

The prevalence of mobile devices in healthcare environments has steeply increased the creation of medical software applications, or apps, for these platforms. It can enhance the provided healthcare services.

Aim

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of smartphone use among health care professionals (HCPs) in Egypt and detect the possible benefits and challenges identified by HCPs in the emergency department associated with the use of smartphones and mobile apps.

Methods

A cross-sectional 23-question structured survey-based study was conducted and distributed electronically via GoogleForms. The survey targeted all healthcare professionals working in emergency departments in Egypt either from University hospitals or the Ministry of Health.

Results

Among 130 responders, almost 89 % were physicians, while the rest were nurses. In addition, 53.1 % had one to four years of experience. Our study revealed that 62.3 % of the responders used medical apps daily with 61.5 % using smartphones during their work shifts. Though, about 81.5 % demonstrated limited or no availability of necessary technology infrastructure in ED. Furthermore, peer-reviewed evidence use was detected among 80 % of the responders using Google and other search engines for health-related information, and about 23 % of them used WikiEM and Wikipedia. Nevertheless, Medscape, MedCalc, and Up-to-date were among the most used medical apps with 69.2 %, 44.6 %, and 33.1 % respectively. Most of the responders were confident that smartphones could improve patient safety. In addition, satisfaction with current mobile apps was detected by more than 60 %, and most of the HCPs agreed that smartphones and mobile apps are crucial for future emergency healthcare delivery.

Conclusion

The use of smartphone apps in Egyptian ED is critical and is widespread among health providers; however, proper training on peer-reviewed resources can serve in improving medical health services.
背景:移动设备在医疗环境中的普及大大增加了针对这些平台的医疗软件应用程序(app)的创建。它可以增强所提供的医疗保健服务。目的本研究旨在评估埃及卫生保健专业人员(HCPs)使用智能手机的流行程度,并检测急诊部门卫生保健专业人员发现的与智能手机和移动应用程序使用相关的可能益处和挑战。方法采用横断面23个问题的结构化调查研究,并通过GoogleForms进行电子分发。该调查的对象是在埃及大学医院或卫生部急诊科工作的所有医疗保健专业人员。结果在130名应答者中,近89%为医生,其余为护士。此外,53.1%的人有一到四年的工作经验。我们的研究显示,62.3%的应答者每天使用医疗应用程序,61.5%的人在轮班期间使用智能手机。尽管如此,大约81.5%的人在ED中表现出有限或没有必要的技术基础设施。此外,80%的应答者使用b谷歌和其他与健康相关的信息搜索引擎检测到同行评议的证据,其中约23%的人使用WikiEM和Wikipedia。然而,Medscape、MedCalc和updated是使用率最高的医疗应用程序,分别占69.2%、44.6%和33.1%。大多数应答者都相信智能手机可以改善患者的安全。此外,超过60%的人对当前的移动应用程序感到满意,大多数医护人员都认为智能手机和移动应用程序对未来的紧急医疗服务至关重要。结论智能手机应用程序在埃及急诊科的使用至关重要,并且在卫生服务提供者中广泛使用;但是,对同行评议资源进行适当培训有助于改善医疗保健服务。

Background

Mental illness and substance use are major global challenges, with their impact on Emergency Centres becoming evident, especially in South Africa. Patients facing these issues require significant resources from both hospital and community services. However, there is a lack of local data regarding the prevalence of concurrent mental health and substance use disorders. This study aims to evaluate the extent of psychoactive substance use within the psychiatric population at a District Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.

Methods

This study is a single-centre, retrospective descriptive analysis. It includes all patients referred to the inpatient psychiatric service over six months, recorded in an electronic database. Data were statistically analysed, considering the following variables: urine drug test results to identify specific substance (s) used, sex, age, diagnosis, and repeat visits.

Results

A total of 597 patient visits were analysed. Fifty-nine percent tested positive for at least one substance. The patients’ average age was 34 years. A greater percentage of visits were for males (58 %), with males exhibiting a higher rate of positive test results (64 %) than females (51 %). Among the 146 repeat visits, a significant association was found between the number of visits and positive test results, with 73 % of patients with ≥2 repeat visits testing positive for substances (p < 0.001). Cannabis (60 %), methamphetamines (47 %), benzodiazepines (26 %), opioids (7 %), and cocaine (1 %) were the substances most frequently reported.

Conclusions

Emergency Centres in South Africa are impacted by individuals seeking mental health care, and substance use significantly exacerbates these challenges. Substance use creates serious physical, mental, and social implications for patients. As emergency care practitioners and members of the broader healthcare system, we play vital roles in addressing these issues. This study provides valuable insights into the complexities of the situation and suggests potential approaches for intervention.
精神疾病和药物使用是全球面临的重大挑战,它们对急救中心的影响越来越明显,尤其是在南非。面临这些问题的患者需要医院和社区服务部门提供大量资源。然而,缺乏关于精神健康和物质使用障碍同时流行的当地数据。本研究的目的是评估精神活性物质的使用范围在精神病人群在开普敦地区医院,南非。方法本研究采用单中心、回顾性描述性分析。它包括在电子数据库中记录的6个月以上转诊到精神科住院服务的所有患者。对数据进行统计分析,考虑以下变量:尿药检结果以确定使用的特定物质、性别、年龄、诊断和重复就诊。结果共分析597例患者就诊情况。59%的人至少对一种物质检测呈阳性。患者平均年龄34岁。男性的就诊比例更高(58%),男性的阳性检测结果率(64%)高于女性(51%)。在146次重复就诊中,发现就诊次数与阳性检测结果之间存在显著关联,73%重复就诊≥2次的患者物质检测呈阳性(p <;0.001)。大麻(60%)、甲基苯丙胺(47%)、苯二氮卓类药物(26%)、类阿片(7%)和可卡因(1%)是最常报告的物质。南非的急救中心受到寻求精神卫生保健的个人的影响,药物使用显著加剧了这些挑战。药物使用会对患者造成严重的身体、精神和社会影响。作为急诊护理从业人员和更广泛的医疗保健系统的成员,我们在解决这些问题方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这项研究对情况的复杂性提供了有价值的见解,并提出了潜在的干预方法。
