An analysis of invasive airway management in a suburban emergency medical services system.
Thomas J. Krisanda,David R. Eitel,Dean Hess,Robert Ormanoski,Robert Bernini,Nancy K. Sabulsky +5 more
TL;DR: Prehospital providers can intubate a high but improvable proportion of non-cardiac-arrested patients by both the orotracheal and nasotracheal routes.

One-year survival after prehospital cardiac arrest: The Utstein style applied to a rural-suburban system☆
Lawrence E. Kass,David R. Eitel,Nancy K. Sabulsky,Cynthia S. Ogden,Dean Hess,Kristi L. Peters +5 more
TL;DR: The Utstein style was found to be a useful algorithmic format for reporting prehospital cardiac arrest data in a manner that should allow direct comparison between emergency medical service (EMS) systems and existing prehospital record-keeping practices are easily adapted.

Noninvasive transcutaneous cardiac pacing in prehospital cardiac arrest
David R. Eitel,Lawrence J. Guzzardi,Scott Stein,Rodney E. Drawbaugh,Dean Hess,Stacy L Walton +5 more
TL;DR: It was found that external cardiac pacing was easily used in the prehospital setting, and pacing did not result in any increase in survival in cardiac arrest patients.

Comparison of six methods to calculate airway resistance during mechanical ventilation in adults.
Dean Hess,Ted Tabor +1 more
TL;DR: Methods that evaluate expiratory resistance (Comroe, Bergman, and Jonson) produce higher values than methods that evaluate inspiratory Resistance (Suter and Neergard) or a combination of inspiratory and expiratories resistance (Krieger).

An evaluation of automated defibrillation and manual defibrillation by emergency medical technicians in a rural setting
Walter A. Schrading,Scott Stein,David R. Eitel,Lance Grove,Linda Horner,George Steckert,Nancy K. Sabulsky,Cynthia S. Ogden,Dean Hess +8 more
TL;DR: Improved survival in sudden cardiac death cases in well-run emergency medical service systems should result from EMT-D training, and routine "surveillance" of high-risk patients during transport by defibrillation-capable EMTs is recommended.
