“…These findings reinforce those of Nik Azlan and Muhamad. 22 Moreover, the ACLS course and other related extracurricular courses were found to play a major role in improving student competency. This finding reinforces the importance of a dedicated undergraduate cardiology course for paramedics, along with specialized courses such as ACLS and other related extracurricular courses.…”

Background: Electrocardiography is an essential emergency tool used in the pre-hospital setting. However, no studies have yet assessed electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation among emergency medical services (EMS) students in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to determine the ECG interpretation competency of paramedic students. Methodology: Cross-sectional, single-center study, a pre-validated, self-administered, twopart questionnaire first created by Coll-Badell et al was used to assess the ECG interpretation competency of paramedic students at Prince Sultan College for Emergency Medical Services (PSCEMS) in King Saud University. Participant data were collected and analyzed to identify factors associated with improved competency. Results: All students of PSCEMS were included, and 137 of 248 paramedic students completed the questionnaire (55% response rate); 88 students (64.2%) scored >7.5 points, indicating competency in (ECG) interpretation. Factors such as grade point average (GPA) (>3.5) and enrollment in cardiology and advanced cardiac life support courses were found to be significantly associated with competency (p<0.001). Conclusion: The majority of paramedic students were found to be competent in ECG interpretation. GPA and enrollment in cardiology and advanced cardiac life support courses were significantly associated with improved competency.

Prehospital notification of the stroke team in alerting incoming acute stroke patient has been practiced in several countries worldwide. Currently this is not practiced in Malaysia. This study evaluates feasibility and impact to stroke team door to review time when prehospital notification is employed. Duration of case control study was between June 2018 to January 2019. Control phase consists of conventionally activating stroke team after in-hospital assessment by emergency medical officer. This was then followed by an intervention phase where on scene activation of stroke team was done by the Prehospital Emergency Care (PHC) staff. Training of PHC staff in recognising an acute stroke was based on identification of BE-FAST (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm and Speech Test) abnormalities. The objectives were to compare the mean between two groups for acute stroke team review time, door to computerised tomography (CT) scan and door to thrombolysis time. Thirty-nine patients were analysed (control n=29, intervention n=10). Results were insignificant (p>0.05). Mean time in minutes for control phase vs. intervention phase was as follows: Door to stroke team review time, 25.96 + 39.16 vs. 15.9 + 13.14, door to CT scan was 43.04 + 40.00 vs. 25.8 + 11.35. Only 3 patients underwent thrombolytic therapy during study period. Limitation was non-parametric data with lack of number of acute stroke cases responded during the intervention period. With continual training of pre-hospital staff in detecting acute stroke, feasibility can be improved.

Akut koroner sendromlar, Türkiye ve dünya genelinde ölüm sebeplerinin başında yer almaktadır. Akut koroner sendromlara hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetlerinde sık karşılaşılması, mortalite ve morbiditesinin yüksek olması paramediklerin bu konudaki yaklaşımlarını daha da önemli duruma getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada Google Akademik, Pubmed, ScienceDirect ve Dergipark gibi veri tabanlarında literatür taraması yapılarak paramediklerin hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetlerinde güncel araştırmalar ışığında akut koroner sendromlara yönelik yaklaşım ilkelerini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.
