Identifying the relative importance of predictors of survival in out of hospital cardiac arrest: a machine learning study.

Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine
INTRODUCTION: Studies examining the factors linked to survival after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have either aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of OHCA in different parts of the world, or focused on certain factors and wheth...

Artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the need for critical care in prehospital emergency medical services.

Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine
BACKGROUND: In emergency medical services (EMSs), accurately predicting the severity of a patient's medical condition is important for the early identification of those who are vulnerable and at high-risk. In this study, we developed and validated an...

Prehospital triage of acute aortic syndrome using a machine learning algorithm.

The British journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) comprises a complex and potentially fatal group of conditions requiring emergency specialist management. The aim of this study was to build a prediction algorithm to assist prehospital triage of AAS.

The Detection of Opioid Misuse and Heroin Use From Paramedic Response Documentation: Machine Learning for Improved Surveillance.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Timely, precise, and localized surveillance of nonfatal events is needed to improve response and prevention of opioid-related problems in an evolving opioid crisis in the United States. Records of naloxone administration found in prehospi...

A “human-proof pointy-end”: a robotically applied hemostatic clamp for care-under-fire.

Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie
Providing the earliest hemorrhage control is now recognized as a shared responsibility of all members of society, including both the lay public and professionals, consistent with the Stop the Bleed campaign. However, providing early hemorrhage contro...

Clinical Decision Support Systems for Triage in the Emergency Department using Intelligent Systems: a Review.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
MOTIVATION: Emergency Departments' (ED) modern triage systems implemented worldwide are solely based upon medical knowledge and experience. This is a limitation of these systems, since there might be hidden patterns that can be explored in big volume...

A machine learning based model for Out of Hospital cardiac arrest outcome classification and sensitivity analysis.

Resuscitation
BACKGROUND: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects nearly 400,000 people each year in the United States of which only 10% survive. Using data from the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES), and machine learning (ML) techniques, w...

Machine Learning in Relation to Emergency Medicine Clinical and Operational Scenarios: An Overview.

The western journal of emergency medicine
Health informatics is a vital technology that holds great promise in the healthcare setting. We describe two prominent health informatics tools relevant to emergency care, as well as the historical background and the current state of informatics. We ...

Machine learning as a supportive tool to recognize cardiac arrest in emergency calls.

Resuscitation
BACKGROUND: Emergency medical dispatchers fail to identify approximately 25% of cases of out of hospital cardiac arrest, thus lose the opportunity to provide the caller instructions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We examined whether a machine lear...

Association Between Early Intravenous Fluids Provided by Paramedics and Subsequent In-Hospital Mortality Among Patients With Sepsis.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Early administration of intravenous fluids is recommended for all patients with sepsis, but the association of this treatment with mortality may depend on the patient's initial blood pressure.
