Kenny Navarro

Full list of Kenny Navarro results

• The science driving BLS CPR recommendations

  –

  AHA CPR Guidelines 2020 continue to emphasize early recognition of cardiac arrest and prompt CPR beginning with chest compressions provides the best chances for survival

• AHA Guidelines 2020: An EMS overview

  –

  Examining recommendations for EMS treatment of adult and pediatric cardiac arrest related to epinephrine, compression depth and rate, and double sequential defibrillation

• Prove It: Stay and play or load and go?

  –

  For patients who do not achieve ROSC early, is it better to stay on scene and continue resuscitation efforts or transport to the ED with CPR in progress?

• Managing COVID-19 infection risks during cardiac arrest treatment

  –

  What the ILCOR recommendations for managing infection risks during CPR and intubation of patients who may be infected with SARS-CoV-2 mean for EMS

• Benefits of applying CRM to cardiac arrest resuscitation

  –

  Strong leadership, simulation training and implementing new techniques such as pit-crew resuscitation all help to improve outcomes when performing CPR

• Prove It: Is sodium bicarbonate indicated for prolonged cardiac arrest?

  – ₁

  Research suggests an association between sodium bicarbonate and decreased survival-to-hospital discharge and worsened neurological status

• Prove it: Administering NTG to patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction

  –

  A new study suggests there may not be any clinical benefits to administering NTG to treat chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia

• Resuscitation education: What’s changed and what you need to know

  –

  The American Heart Association recently released a statement updating cardiac arrest resuscitation guidelines

• Prove it: Video laryngoscope usage in airway management

  –

  Video laryngoscopy may improve overall and first-pass success rates for ET intubation by paramedics

• Prove It: Prehospital ultrasound improves diagnosis, treatment and transport decisions

  –

  Including ultrasound during assessment may help rule out or find injuries missed with traditional exam techniques, but more research is needed

• Prove It: Dual defibrillation of refractory ventricular fibrillation

  –

  What's the evidence that delivery of dual defibrillation improves survival outcomes for patients who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and fail to respond to conventional therapy?

• Prove It: Mobile stroke care improves patient outcome

  –

  A mobile stroke unit offers specially trained personnel and equipment which can provide remote diagnosis and evidence-based management to patients for definitive treatment

• Prove It: Epinephrine may have a role during resuscitation from cardiac arrest

  –

  Measuring the time to epinephrine administration as a continuous variable shows time-dependent nature of epinephrine administration

• Prove It: Administering dextrose during cardiac arrest improves outcomes

  – ₁

  Understand why dextrose given during prehospital resuscitation from cardiac arrest may actually decrease the chance of survival to hospital discharge

• Prove It: Real-time feedback devices improve CPR training

  –

  Researchers measured the impact several CPR feedback or prompt devices had on chest compression depth, compression rate recoil and hand position
