Filter by:Operating high-speed boats is dangerous. The purpose of this study is to establish what levels and what characteristics of impact exposure cause injuries. Impact-induced injuries are sometimes severe and cause permanent disabilities. The slamming-impact exposure causes more injuries per workday than seen in most other peacetime work. 12. It is however NOT known which levels or kinds of impacts are dangerous and which are safe or sustainable. To prevent injuries and to reduce fatigue onboard high-speed boats, this knowledge is crucial. Current standards and regulations lack relevance. They are based on mean values of vibrations, and the stated exposure limit values are impossible to comply with even in normal maritime operations. The purpose of this study is to establish what levels and what characteristics of impact exposure cause injuries. This prospective observation study will measure human impact exposure and correlate this to the occurrence and development of pain, used to indicate the risk of injury.
The Prehospital Resuscitation On Helicopter Study (PROHS) is a pragmatic, multicenter, prospective observational study of air ambulance-based prehospital resuscitation regimens currently utilized at the participating sites. Patients will be enrolled at participating sites that currently have blood products available on air ambulances and other sites that do not. This study will not change the current prehospital standard of care for resuscitation. The primary outcome will be in-hospital mortality and the primary unit of analysis will be the patient. Other outcomes of interest will include time to hemostasis, hospital length-of-stay, number of ventilator-free and ICU-free days, incidence of major surgical procedures, complications (transfusion-related acute lung injury [TRALI], acute kidney injury [AKI], multiple organ failure [MOF], acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS], sepsis, intra-abdominal complications, thromboembolic complications, compartment syndromes), lifesaving interventions, the amount and type of blood products and concentrates transfused (including prehospital), wastage of prehospital blood products and concentrates, use of external and internal hemostatic devices, and functional status at discharge/discharge destination.
The diagnosis of abuse in children relies heavily on the presence of skeletal and extraskeletal injuries. However, some lesions are not seen by initial skeletal survey. And the investigators have to complete the skeletal survey with either bone-scan or CT scan or whole-body MRI. whole-body MRI has proved its worth in the pediatric population for the evaluation of skeletal and extraskeletal lesions in children with cancer or infectious diseases. Thus, whole-body MRI would allowed to have total picture of children without ionising radiation exposure.
