Brief Summary:
The aim of the research is to find out what effect the standardization of ambulance equipment has on the speed of performing specific medical procedures.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
|---|---|
| Safety Issues | Procedure: Administration of oxygen Procedure: Administration of drug in a nebulizer Procedure: Securing intravenous line Procedure: Administration of IV drug Procedure: Needle decompression of tension pneumothorax |
The aim of the research is to find out what effect the standardization of ambulance equipment has on the speed of performing specific medical procedures. In two simulated scenarios, the times from the decision to execution of medical procedures will be measured. In the first scenario, the equipment is located in the standard way and the research participants know where it is located. In the second scenario, the equipment is placed elsewhere and participants do not have the opportunity to check the equipment before the scenario. For the statistical comparison the Student's T-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used. For analysis of variance will be used the ANOVA test and for more than two dependent selections the Friedman's ANOVA test will be used.

Standardised
The procedures will be observed with standardized equipment placement.
|
Procedure: Administration of oxygen
Administration of high-flow oxygen via face mask to a high fidelity mannequin. Procedure: Administration of drug in a nebulizer Administration of bronchodilator via nebulizer mask to a high fidelity mannequin. Procedure: Securing intravenous line Securing an intravenous line at the forearm of high fidelity mannequin. Procedure: Administration of IV drug Administration of bronchodilator via IV line to a high fidelity mannequin. Procedure: Needle decompression of tension pneumothorax Needle decompression of tension pneumothorax on a high fidelity mannequin. |
|
Modified
The procedures will be observed with modified equipment placement - placement according to older methodology or custom.
