Lower socioeconomic status is associated with lower rates of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Across 744,164 OHCA cases, we report lower rates of witnessed arrests in ZIP Codes where >10% below poverty line.

We reviewed every NTSB accident report with ≥1 serious injury where turbulence was cited as a contributing factor between 2008-2023.

@laertezz @MMRCbeat @TamingtheSRU @UMichiganEM Welcome to Minnesota! Let me know if you need local recs!

We compared out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at US airports versus other public (non-residential settings) and found significant differences between locations. @joshkimbre @JacobStebel

Across 1000+ patients with acute stroke at an urban comprehensive stroke center, prehospital notification (calling and activating a stroke code from the field) led to faster CTs and interventions. @joshkimbre @JacobStebel @brianmacgrory @JMedic2JDoc

@joshkimbre Next step: now that we have a trial showing MIH visits do not significantly increase risk of readmissions, let's see how the patients felt? Wonder if patients prefer the convenience of in-home visits.

We looked at four Friday the 13th's between 2022 and 2024 and found they were not associated with an increase in EMS calls or cardiac arrests – myth busted!

We enjoyed your paper on infant cardiac arrest — please come to our fish farming conference…

We examined 1,136 prehospital cricothyrotomies in the United States and found the following:
1) 72.4% in male and 66.2% in ≤60 yrs
2) 47.2% during cardiac arrest
3) no disparities in success rates

@mdonnino @critconcepts Assuming echo isn’t available, is there harm in shocking the first asystole after prolonged VT/VF?

[Aditya C. Shekhar @dj_deets]

We looked at 6 years worth of ambulance transports from D1 college football games at UMN (go gophers!) — here’s what we found.

Avg of 0.8 BLS and 0.3 ALS transports per game.

Median age 22 yrs, alcohol involved in ~50%, and 32% with GCS<15.

We examined 844,021 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Here’s what wasn’t documented.

159 seconds. That's the average time savings attributable to lights and siren use by ambulance.

@CoffeeandData and I conducted a scoping review of 9 studies that directly compared drive time with lights/siren vs. no lights/siren across the same route.

In @Resus_Plus, we compared OHCA cases responded to by ground ambulance with cases responded to by HEMS in the US.

OHCA treated by HEMS: more likely to be male, White, <60 yrs & <18 yrs, traumatic etiology, witnessed, and initially-shockable. @AMPAdocs @UChicagoEM
