Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains a global health problem. There is emerging evidence that the use of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation during resuscitation [ECPR], may help to improve outcomes. Several prehospital services around the world are now able to provide on-scene ECPR. However, the early identification of patients is a key factor in enabling this level of response to OOHCA.

OBJECTIVE: Vasopressors are critical for patients experiencing shock. This observational study aims to describe the usage of vasopressors by EMS, and to assess how vasopressor usage differs between transport and hospital environments. The information gathered in this study can help determine which vasopressors should be available in an EMS system and guide the management of patients requiring vasopressors during EMS transport.

Improper technique and incorrect cuff sizing can lead to falsely high or low readings, impacting patient care. The issue of BP cuff size has been studied in manual BP cuffs previously, but there is scant literature on automatic BP cuffs.
