perature deflection of the aortic probe was recorded and cardiac output was calculated. Three control CO were determined. After giving the challenge dose, CO was measured at 3, 5, 10, i5, 25, 35, 45, and 60 min. All 6 animals showed a significant (P < .01) fall in CO, cardiac index (CI), and blood p
To test the efficacy of transcutaneous pacing in prehospitaI bradyasystolic arrest, we applied an external transcutaneous pacing device to patients with asystole, pulseless idioventricular rhythms (PIVR), and pulseless bradycardias. Pacemaker units were carried by emergency medical services (EMS) ph
A three-year, controlled trial of the use of telemetry in the prehospital care of cardiac patients was conducted in a major metropolitan area. Five of the ten paramedic squads in the city used telemetry; the other five squads did not. We studied the effect of telemetry on the following: 1) paramedic
