TL;DR: The Canadian C-Spine Rule is derived, a highly sensitive decision rule that will allow emergency department (ED) physicians to be more selective in use of radiography in alert and stable trauma patients and has the potential to significantly reduce practice variation and inefficiency in ED use of C-spine radiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Cardiac Life Support in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Ian G. Stiell,George A. Wells,Brian J Field,Daniel W. Spaite,Lisa Nesbitt,Valerie J. De Maio,Graham Nichol,Donna Cousineau,Josée Blackburn,Doug Munkley,Lorraine Luinstra-Toohey,Tony Campeau,Eugene Dagnone,Marion B Lyver +13 more
TL;DR: The addition of advanced-life-support interventions did not improve the rate of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a previously optimized emergency-medical-services system of rapid defibrillation, and health care planners should make cardiopulmonary resuscitation by citizens and rapid-defibrillation responses a priority.
Improved Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival Through the Inexpensive Optimization of an Existing Defibrillation Program
Ian G. Stiell,George A. Wells,Brian J Field,Daniel W. Spaite,Valerie J. De Maio,Roxanne Ward,Douglas P Munkley,Lorraine G Luinstra,Justin Maloney,Eugene Dagnone +9 more
Journal ArticleDOI
A cumulative meta-analysis of the effectiveness of defibrillator-capable emergency medical services for victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
TL;DR: It is confirmed that greater survival after sudden cardiac arrest is associated with provision of bystander CPR, early defibrillation, or ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health-Related Quality of Life Is Better for Cardiac Arrest Survivors Who Received Citizen Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Ian G. Stiell,Graham Nichol,George A Wells,Valerie J. De Maio,Lisa Nesbitt,Josée Blackburn,Daniel W. Spaite +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the largest ever conducted for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors, clearly shows that these patients have good quality of life, and is the first to demonstrate that citizen-initiated CPR is strongly and independently associated with betterquality of life.
