Lower socioeconomic status is associated with lower rates of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Across 744,164 OHCA cases, we report lower rates of witnessed arrests in ZIP Codes where >10% below poverty line. Out now: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We reviewed every NTSB accident report with ≥1 serious injury where turbulence was cited as a contributing factor between 2008-2023. Out now in @@SESC_AmSurg: doi.org/10.1177/000313482513…

We compared out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at US airports versus other public (non-residential settings) and found significant differences between locations. @joshkimbre @JacobStebel Out now in JAMA Network Open: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Across 1000+ patients with acute stroke at an urban comprehensive stroke center, prehospital notification (calling and activating a stroke code from the field) led to faster CTs and interventions. @joshkimbre @JacobStebel @brianmacgrory @JMedic2JDoc tandfonline.com/eprint/Y7YFK…

We looked at four Friday the 13th's between 2022 and 2024 and found they were not associated with an increase in EMS calls or cardiac arrests – myth busted! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kk3%… @joshkimbre @JacobStebel @_AlexZhou @JacobDesman @eeabbs

We enjoyed your paper on infant cardiac arrest — please come to our fish farming conference…

We examined 1,136 prehospital cricothyrotomies in the United States and found the following: 1) 72.4% in male and 66.2% in ≤60 yrs 2) 47.2% during cardiac arrest 3) no disparities in success rates Out now in Chest: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @joshkimbre @eeabbs @JacobStebel

We looked at 6 years worth of ambulance transports from D1 college football games at UMN (go gophers!) — here’s what we found. Avg of 0.8 BLS and 0.3 ALS transports per game. Median age 22 yrs, alcohol involved in ~50%, and 32% with GCS<15. @CoffeeandData @rball490 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We examined 844,021 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Here’s what wasn’t documented. @Resus_Plus @joshkimbre @TheSanjayPujar @eeabbs sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

159 seconds. That's the average time savings attributable to lights and siren use by ambulance. @CoffeeandData and I conducted a scoping review of 9 studies that directly compared drive time with lights/siren vs. no lights/siren across the same route. emerald.com/insight/content/…

In @Resus_Plus, we compared OHCA cases responded to by ground ambulance with cases responded to by HEMS in the US. OHCA treated by HEMS: more likely to be male, White, <60 yrs & <18 yrs, traumatic etiology, witnessed, and initially-shockable. @AMPAdocs @UChicagoEM sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We compared infant out-of-hospital cardiac arrest based on time-of-day and day-of-week. Weekdays associated with higher ROSC (day>night but dif not quite sig). Daytime had more males, cardiac etiologies, and unwitnessed arrests. @RyanCoute @joshkimbre sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New Lifepak 35 officially announced. Big departure from LP12/15 form-factor. Hope it’s durable! Thoughts?
