Due to the volatile conditions of the work environment, paramedics as an occupational group are at a higher risk of exposure to biological factors (e.g., hepatotropic viruses (HBV, HCV); human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria; influenza virus; or contempo-rarily the SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses). The possibility of infection grows in situations where work safety and hygiene regulations are not followed. The aim of the following work is the evaluation of the compli¬ance with hygienic standards and the knowledge regarding the prophylaxis of infection among paramedics. \u0000Material and methods: The study was carried out between May and September of 2019, with the use of diagnostic survey methodology on 238 (223 male, 15 female) paramedics in mobile Emergency Response Teams from the Maso¬vian voivodship. The mean age was 39.03±9.27 years for males, and 31.93±7.76 years for females. \u0000Results: 59.66% of the participants (n = 142) report always following the recommended hygiene procedures. 50.85% (n = 121) of the participants indicated hands playing a significant role in the spread of infection. Co-workers followed hygiene procedures at a satisfactory level for 53.78% (n =128) of the participants. \u0000Conclusions: There is a wide range of factors which limit respecting hygiene procedures, the most important of which being sudden and unforeseeable situations. Issues of the broadly understood hand hygiene practice should be a con¬stant element of prophylaxis in ERTs.","PeriodicalId":433523,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Medical Service","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114985737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are diverse in terms of the extent of the changes, the severity of development and disease group etiological factors. There are a broad range of such infections, from superficial skin infections to deep necrotizing soft tissue infections which are so serious that they can lead to permanent disability or even death. Paramedics are often the first link in the chain of medical treatment for a patient with necrotizing soft tissue infection, which is why it is vital for them to be familiar with the alarm symptoms which indicate that urgent hospitalization is necessary. A key issue for Medical Response Teams when treating patients with skin and soft tissue infections is distinguishing infections that require surgical intervention – a priority for paramedics, from those that require only preventative treatment. It must be remembered that failure to take the correct decisions regarding treatment and logistics can significantly reduce a patient’s chances of survival.","PeriodicalId":433523,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Medical Service","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115025834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients underwent quantitative EEG (qEEG) with wavelet analysis on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28.

Primary carnitine deficiency is a rare condition that can lead to metabolic decompensation, muscular and cardiac myopathy, and sudden death. Secondary carnitine deficiency can be caused by a genetically determined congenital metabolic defect, insufficient substrate intake, acquired disorder, immaturity of the biochemical pathway in premature infants, renal failure or iatrogenic exposure.

Depending on the volume of hemoperitoneum, all patients were divided into three groups.: Group I – 480 (54.0%) women in whom intraabdominal bleeding did not exceed 200 ml; Group II – 283 (31.8%) patients with hemoperitoneum ranged from 200 to 500 ml; Group III – 125 (14.1%) patients with hemoperitoneum volume greater than 500 ml.\u0000Results: According to the data of the transvaginal US , a linear dependence was observed between the level of free liquid and the volume of hemoperitoneum (r=0.63, p<0.05). In 792 (89.2%) patients the diagnosis of apoplexy of the ovary and intraperitoneal hemorrhage was made to surgical intervention- on the basis of clinical picture and US data. The most frequently performed hemostatic operation was resection of the ovary – 477 (77.2%) interventions. The average volume of hemoperitoneum discovered in patients with AO, in absence of the adhesive process was (273.5±21.3) ml, whereas in patients with the expressed adhesive process of the small pelvis organs it was (141.4±35.5) ml. The cause of AO was the corpus luteum or cyst of the corpus luteum in more than the half of the cases – 348 (56.3%).\u0000Conclusions: The manifestation of the clinical symptoms in apoplexy of the ovaries depends on the volume of intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
