After a lot of hard work, we are proud to share this study getting published using our team of highly skilled paramedics as the subjects. There is a lot of research to be done in the prehospital world and we are incredibly happy we were able to contribute to learning and advancing our profession. Hopefully, our team will be able to do more research like this in the future to help us continue to provide the best care possible to our patients.
This publishing comes with the perfect timing, as our program is about to implement a point of care ultrasound program encompassing much more than just cardiac views within the next few weeks. A lot of training has gone into our team that has already proven themselves more than capable with this initial ultrasound pilot program - the first paramedic program in the state with such technology.
Background: Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (cPoCUS) can detect occlusive myocardial infarction (OMI) in the absence of diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) by assessment of left ventricle (LV) function. The feasibility of cPoCUS to assess LV function in the prehospital setting is unknown.Objective:....
