Mashup Score: 1SPEAR in action - 9 day(s) ago
SPEAR refers to Specialist Percutaneous Emergency Aortic Resuscitation, an intervention performed in cardiac arrest patients. It involves inserting monitoring into the patient’s arteries and veins in the groin to measure blood pressure beat by beat. SPEAR can can provide real-time feedback regarding the quality of CPR being delivered and ensure adequate blood supply to the patient’s brain and heart. Dr Jon Barratt says: “It’s an advanced technique and the most technically demanding procedure we carry

Mashup Score: 15
Background Accurate haemodynamic monitoring in the prehospital setting is essential. Non-invasive blood pressure measurement is susceptible to vibration and motion artefact, especially at extremes of hypotension and hypertension: invasive arterial blood pressure (IABP) monitoring is a potential solution. This study describes the largest series to date of cases of IABP monitoring being initiated prehospital. Methods This retrospective observational study was conducted at East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), a UK helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). It included all patients attended by EAAA who underwent arterial catheterisation and initiation of IABP monitoring between 1st February 2015 and 20th April 2023. The following data were retrieved for all patients: sex; age; aetiology (medical cardiac arrest, other medical emergency, trauma); site of arterial cannulation; operator role (doctor/paramedic); time of insertion and, where applicable, times of pre-hospital emergency anaesthesi

Mashup Score: 10Papers of February 2024 – The Resus Room - 3 month(s) ago
Welcome back to February’s papers of the month. Syncope is a really common presentation to the Emergency Department and it can be complicated to tease out those with a concerning precipitant from the others with a more benign cause. The first paper gives us some context to the management of these undifferentiated syncopes and provides a barometer for how stringently ESC guidance on the topic…

Mashup Score: 2Selective aortic arch perfusion: a first-in-human observational cadaveric study - Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine - 4 month(s) ago
Background Selective aortic arch perfusion (SAAP) is a novel endovascular technique that combines thoracic aortic occlusion with extracorporeal perfusion of the brain and heart. SAAP may have a role in both haemorrhagic shock and in cardiac arrest due to coronary ischaemia. Despite promising animal studies, no data is available that describes SAAP in humans. The primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of selective aortic arch perfusion in humans. The secondary aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of achieving direct coronary artery access via the SAAP catheter as a potential conduit for salvage percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods Using perfused human cadavers, a prototype SAAP catheter was inserted into the descending aorta under fluoroscopic guidance via a standard femoral percutaneous access device. The catheter balloon was inflated and the aortic arch perfused with radio-opaque contrast. The coronary arteries were cannulated through the SAAP cathete
