Passive leg raising during CPR
Measuring end-tidal carbon dioxide (ET CO2 ) is a practical non-invasive method for detecting pulmonary blood flow, reflecting cardiac output and thereby the quality of CPR. It has also been shown to rise before clinically detectable return of spontaneous circulation … Continue reading
Fetal monitoring during EMS transport
Can cardiotocography be applied in the pre-hospital setting?
