Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prehospital Transport and Whole-body Vibration helps medical transport professionals and vehicle and equipment designers understand the concepts of human response to whole body vibration in order to shed light on the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of current immobilization systems. Written for anyone working with patients who have been medically transported, such as emergency medicine physicians, medics, ER nurses, and those researching and studying whole-body vibration (medical students, ergonomists, human factor researchers, engineers, system developers), this book takes an informative look at situations that occur in the air, on the sea and in ground medical vehicles en route to a hospital. The transport of supine humans under these conditions may lead to severe involuntary motions of body segments, which can generate discomfort, pain and secondary injuries, especially when the patient has a suspected spinal cord injury. This book will help medical transport professionals and vehicle and equipment designers understand the basic concepts of human response to whole body vibration and shed light on the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of current immobilization systems. Provides readers the information needed to create efficient systems that ensure the safety and wellbeing of patients in transport Offers measurements and biodynamic metrics to professionals in the field so they can conduct vibration testing on their own Includes basic information that will not be affected by regulatory updates

This book was released on 2018 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newborn infants delivered in a compromised health state often require transport between secondary and primary care hospitals. The objective of this study was to measure and characterize Whole Body Vibration (WBV) exposures during simulated newborn infant inter-hospital ground transport and determine how vehicle-based vibration is transmitted through the chain of equipment used to support newborn infants and whether there is a need and potential for mitigation of these exposures. These WBV exposures were also compared to two typical daily activities of infants, riding in a car seat and riding in a stroller. A simulated newborn infant was transported over a typical transport route utilizing a standard stretcher system and two potentially mitigating strategies: a modified stretcher system with a stabilizing strut and a new, modified vibration dampening stretcher system. The average-weighted vibrations and the vibration dose values were calculated, and the frequency spectra profiles were examined. Relative to the floor measured vibration (0.36 m/s2), the standard stretcher system amplified the average weighted vibration through the chain of equipment nearly doubling the vibration at the interface where the simulated neonate rested (0.67 m/s2). These measures exceeded those found with the car seat and the indoor stroller. The new stretcher system with the built-in suspension reduced the exposure at the interface to 0.48 m/s2. In contrast, the strut-based stretcher system did not perform as expected, increasing the vibration at the interface (1.2 m/s2). Results were similar for VDV exposures. The frequency spectra present in the standard stretcher system was primarily between 4-15 Hz, raising concern because of the overlap with natural resonance frequency of the human body (4-12 Hz). The new stretcher with the built-in suspension effectively negated the vibrations in the 4-10 Hz range. The transmissibilities indicated that there is potential for further mitigation at points between the aluminum transfer sled and the interface. This research presents a unique mitigating strategy to reduce elevated neonate whole body vibration exposures and addresses potential further mitigation points. It also contributes information to the field for further development of standards and implementation of whole body vibration exposure limits that are applicable across the lifespan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, knowledge and understanding of prehospital emergency medicine and disabilities is limited. This valuable text is a new resource to start a discussion about the need to include disability education in EMT and paramedic curricula. EMS Response to Patients with Special Needs: Assessment, Treatment and Transport is the first comprehensive resource of its kind to address the emergency prehospital needs of people with disabilities. “A large subset of our population could be at risk for misunderstandings, potentially inadequate patient care, and incorrect or even dangerous interventions due to insufficient knowledge about disabilities in general and the issues particular to specific disabilities.” – Dr. Katherine Koch Dr. Katherine Koch provides descriptions of a specific disability or disabilities and how the characteristics are relevant to a prehospital setting and to the paramedics and emergency medical technicians who are treating the patients. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: General suggestions for working with people with disabilities, such as person-first language, wheelchair etiquette, and interacting with service animals Suggestions for assessment and treatment are specific to EMS. The disabilities discussed in this text include: • Autism spectrum disorders • Causes and capacities of intellectual disabilities such as pain and Down syndrome • Hearing, vision and speech impairments • Physical disabilities such as arthritis, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury • Mental health disorders such as ADHD, anxiety and schizophrenia • Traumatic brain injury • Alcohol use disorder • Cystic fibrosis • PANDAS/PANS • Rett syndrome • Sickle cell disease • Systemic lupus erythematosus
