  • chemical warfare agents Emergency medical and Emergency public health issues
    Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1999
    Co-Authors: Richard J Brennan, Joseph F Waeckerle, Trueman W Sharp, Scott R Lillibridge
    Abstract:

    Abstract The threat of exposure to chemical warfare agents has traditionally been considered a military issue. Several recent events have demonstrated that civilians may also be exposed to these agents. The intentional or unintentional release of a chemical warfare agent in a civilian community has the potential to create thousands of casualties, thereby overwhelming local health and medical resources. The resources of US communities to respond to chemical incidents have been designed primarily for industrial agents, but must be expanded and developed regarding incident management, agent detection, protection of Emergency Personnel, and clinical care. We present an overview of the risk that chemical warfare agents presently pose to civilian populations and a discussion of the Emergency medical and Emergency public health issues related to preparedness and response.

  • family presence during resuscitation fpdr a survey of Emergency Personnel in victoria australia
    Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal, 2015
    Co-Authors: Joanne Porter, Simon Cooper, Beverley Joan Taylor
    Abstract:

    Summary Background Family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) has been endorsed internationally by resuscitation councils since the year 2000; however, the extent to which FPDR is practiced in Emergency settings requires further investigation. Methods Emergency Personnel ( n =347) from 18 participating Emergency departments across the state of Victoria, Australia completed a 10-page questionnaire, which was designed to develop an understanding of the current practice and implementation of FPDR and to ascertain the differences in practice between adult and paediatric resuscitations. Results Emergency Personnel update their adult and paediatric advanced life support qualifications annually with 87% of nurses and 65% of doctors completing adult life support and 72% of nurses and 49% of doctors completing paediatric advanced life support training. The majority of nursing staff reported support for FPDR (83%) with over 70% indicating that it is apart of their current practice. There was strong agreement from both nurses (79%) and doctors (77%) that the family have the right to be present. A family support person was deemed as essential by nurses (92%) and doctors (89%) when allowing family to be present. A factor analysis was conducted on participant statements, revealing four codes; impact on professional practice and performance, Personnel beliefs about FPDR, professional satisfaction and the importance of a support person and saying goodbye. Conclusion A family support person was highlighted as essential to the successful implementation of FPDR, together with the development of a comprehensive training the education program for Emergency Personnel. FPDR continues to be a significant issue and further investigation into FPDR practice and implementation in the ED is warranted.

  • family presence during resuscitation fpdr perceived benefits barriers and enablers to implementation and practice
    International Emergency Nursing, 2014
    Co-Authors: Joanne Porter, Simon Cooper, Kenneth John Sellick
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction There are a number of perceived benefits and barriers to family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) in the Emergency department, and debate continues among health professionals regarding the practice of family presence. Aim This review of the literature aims to develop an understanding of the perceived benefits, barriers and enablers to implementing and practicing FPDR in the Emergency department. Results The perceived benefits include; helping with the grieving process; everything possible was done, facilitates closure and healing and provides guidance and family understanding and allows relatives to recognise efforts. The perceived barriers included; increased stress and anxiety, distracted by relatives, fear of litigation, traumatic experience and family interference. There were four sub themes that emerged from the literature around the enablers of FPDR, these included; the need for a designated support person, the importance of training and education for staff and the development of a formal policy within the Emergency department to inform practice. Conclusion In order to ensure that practice of FPDR becomes consistent, Emergency Personnel need to understand the need for advanced FPDR training and education, the importance of a designated support person role and the evidence of FPDR policy as enablers to implementation.
