Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️ In honor of the day of love as well as American Heart Month, the month's clinical post will feature one of the hardest working organs in our body!

According to the American Heart Association, there are more than 350000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year in the US, 90% of which are fatal. Ventricular defibrillation, a type of irregular heart rhythm, accounts for about 1/3 of those cases. A study published in 2022 showed that making simple changes in EMS protocol can lead to ⚡️SHOCKINGLY⚡️more favorable results. Read on to learn more!

Happy holidays from the NJMS Mobile Healthcare Association! 🥳☃️🎄

This month, our clinical post is going to cover why hypothermia can be a deadly winter surprise for this population, and what EMS can do to help!

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

We're posting November's clinical post a day early to join in on the festivities!

This month: trauma injury

By 2034, it is predicted that there will be more adults ages 65+ than children ages 18-. As such, it becomes increasingly important that we know how to take care of an aging population. Blunt trauma is the 7th leading cause of death among the elderly, who have a much higher risk of dying compared to their younger counterparts. Here, we go over a research article that explores whether the fault lies in our approach to care.

October marks the start of MHA's monthly clinical posts!

This month: aspirin.

According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States—of which a heart attack occurs every 40 seconds. Aspirin is a common emergency treatment that is used in both first-aid and in-hospital settings and it has been shown to improve survival rates. Here, we go over a systemic review that explores how the timing of aspirin administration impacts patient survival!
