Journal ArticleDOI
Taking care of the "good guys:" a trauma center-based model of medical support for tactical law enforcement.
Robert F. Lavery,Michael D. Addis,James V. Doran,Mark A. Corrice,Bartholomew J. Tortella,David H. Livingston +5 more
TL;DR: The genesis and development of a unique model for which advanced medical care is rendered by trained health care professionals within a regional trauma system in the support of a SWAT team in Newark, New Jersey is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, clinical trial comparing the efficacy of continuous nebulized albuterol (15 mg) versus continuous nebulized albuterol (15 mg) plus ipratropium bromide (2 mg) for the treatment of acute asthma.
TL;DR: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was conducted on a convenience sample of patients with acute asthma, and there were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups in age, sex, predicted or initial PEFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, clinical trial comparing oral celecoxib 200 mg, celecoxib 400 mg, and ibuprofen 600 mg for acute pain
TL;DR: The magnitude of pain relief for celecoxib, coupled with the cost of the medication, questions its use in the immediate ED setting, though the pain relief scale approached significance favoring ibuprofen.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of pediatric and adult trauma patients transported by helicopter and ground EMS: Managed-care considerations☆
Bartholomew J. Tortella,Bartholomew J. Tortella,Justin Sambol,Robert F. Lavery,Kathleen Cudihy,Geoffrey Nadzam +5 more
TL;DR: Pediatric patients transported by HEMS were as severely injured as those transported by ground, in contrast to adult patients, and it is conjecture that since trauma triage schemes classically focus on adults, ground personnel are more selective about which patients are flown to a TC, and less selective for pediatric patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disabling job injuries among urban EMS providers.
TL;DR: Occupational injuries of EMS personnel are at a serious level and fire-based EMS systems experienced a higher rate of hand SDIHs despite the provision of protective equipment, while nonfire-EMS staff are provided with safety equipment, which may have resulted in a relatively high number of head and hand SDiHs.
