Study of Pre Hospital Management of Polytrauma Patients by Medical Teams From a Department in the Parisian Region

To study the impact of prehospital management duration by SMUR teams in the Essonne department (91) on early patient mortality (within 24 hours) and to analyze the procedures performed on scene. The study hypothesis is that all-cause in-hospital mortality may be associated with the duration of prehospital care, with either a beneficial impact related to the performance of life-saving interventions or a negative impact due to prolonged time to access definitive treatment. Identifying potential factors associated with prolonged prehospital management times could help define possible areas for improvement and future interventions.

Human Impact Exposure Onboard High-Speed Boats

Operating high-speed boats is dangerous. The purpose of this study is to establish what levels and what characteristics of impact exposure cause injuries. Impact-induced injuries are sometimes severe and cause permanent disabilities. The slamming-impact exposure causes more injuries per workday than seen in most other peacetime work. 12. It is however NOT known which levels or kinds of impacts are dangerous and which are safe or sustainable. To prevent injuries and to reduce fatigue onboard high-speed boats, this knowledge is crucial. Current standards and regulations lack relevance. They are based on mean values of vibrations, and the stated exposure limit values are impossible to comply with even in normal maritime operations. The purpose of this study is to establish what levels and what characteristics of impact exposure cause injuries. This prospective observation study will measure human impact exposure and correlate this to the occurrence and development of pain, used to indicate the risk of injury.
