The Cochrane EMS Crisis Citizen Action Group emphasizes the urgent need for improved emergency medical services in Cochrane, highlighting the shortcomings of the current borderless system implemented since 2009 which disproportionately affects rural areas. They request town council advocacy for maintaining local ambulance availability, reducing emergency crew wait times in hospitals, and ensuring ambulances are not used for non-emergency transfers. The group has gathered support through a petition and aims for proactive measures to avoid ongoing risks to community health and safety.Letter to Canmore Town Council

The document discusses the issue of 'EMS Park,' where emergency medical services provide patient care in hospital hallways, raising significant patient safety risks due to offload delays and a lack of patient flow. It outlines the findings of a 2016 report highlighting vulnerabilities in this system and suggests eliminating EMS Park while recommending various initiatives previously attempted to address the issue. The ultimate recommendation is to establish a clear line for the transfer of care between EMS and emergency departments at triage to mitigate risks and enhance patient care.EMS Vehicle Readiness Project Development Report

Don Sharpe, a paramedic with AHS EMS Calgary, has been involved in the Vehicle Readiness Project since 2012, advocating for equipment readiness and process improvements, but has faced challenges with a lack of support and communication from leadership. He proposed initiatives like a Gemba walk for better crew interaction and suggested a shift towards a logistics technician role to enhance the project's efficiency, but received minimal feedback. Despite working to maintain cleanliness and organization in multiple vehicle and workspace environments, Sharpe's efforts have often gone unacknowledged or unsupported, leading him to develop a prioritized checklist to expedite vehicle readiness.Calgary Herald - Your Letters July 22, 2020

The letter argues that compensation for physicians through public funds should be transparent. It questions why the healthcare system has not improved more under physician leadership. The letter supports the government's efforts to improve inefficient processes, noting that paramedics wait lengthy hours in hospitals each month while response times and hallway wait times are not published. The letter writer, a paramedic, believes Albertans deserve leadership, transparency and accountability from their health care system.Alberta College of Paramedics condemns Hospital hallway waits.

The Alberta College of Paramedics responds to recent media reports questioning EMS resources and response times. The College president says compromised working conditions prevent paramedics from providing excellent patient care. While recognizing budget constraints, the College agrees more must be done to address issues affecting EMS and reduce hallway waits. The mandate of the College is to ensure public safety and that paramedics are able to practice at their full potential to benefit patients.Beyond COVID

This document discusses improvements to cleaning routines and responsibilities in hospital ambulance bays during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that EMS staff have taken on additional cleaning duties to support current inadequate routines. While some improvements have been made working with hospital leadership and Sodexo, there is still work to be done. Specifically, the document calls out issues with waste storage and garbage emptying at some hospitals that need to be addressed, and reiterates that hospital ambulance bays remain the responsibility of hospitals to keep clean and safe for EMS crews.Clean behind it jan 30 2013

The document provides recommendations for improving ambulance cleaning in Calgary Metro EMS. It finds that ambulances are regularly unclean, frustrating crews and potentially exposing patients and staff to infectious diseases. It recommends developing a clear cleanliness standard, implementing a "Make Ready" program to deep clean vehicles every shift, and assigning staff specifically to clean and stock vehicles to ensure they are always ready for patient care. Adopting the Make Ready model used elsewhere could comprehensively solve cleanliness issues while enhancing operations and reducing costs.Ambulance offload delay

This document summarizes the results of a survey of EMS providers in Alberta about ambulance offload delays. It finds that overtime has increased significantly for EMS workers in the last 5 years, negatively impacting their health and families. Offload delays have led to delayed response times for emergencies, in some cases with negative patient outcomes like death. The primary causes of delays are lack of hospital beds and lengthy triage times. Recommended solutions include improving hospital patient flow, building long-term care facilities, and allowing EMS to leave once patients are handed over to the hospital.AMBULANCE OFFLOAD DELAY: The Impact on Paramedics and Patient Care

油
This detailed presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey (DNB Resident, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur) provides a comprehensive overview of acetabular labral tears, covering their anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical implications. Beginning with the anatomy of the acetabular labruma fibrocartilaginous structure critical for hip joint stabilitythe presentation explains how its vascular and neural distribution contributes to both pain and poor healing potential when torn.
The pathophysiology of labral tears is discussed in the context of altered joint mechanics, loss of the labral seal, increased cartilage stress, and subsequent joint degeneration. The presentation classifies labral tears based on location, morphology, and etiology, highlighting causes such as trauma, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and biomechanical imbalances.
Key clinical features are outlined, including chronic anterior hip or groin pain, mechanical symptoms like clicking and locking, and delayed diagnosisespecially in athletes and women. Diagnostic strategies include physical tests (e.g., FABER, McCarthy test, anterior impingement test), imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, and MR arthrography), and diagnostic injections.
Management strategies range from conservative treatmentrest, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapyto surgical options, such as arthroscopic debridement and microfracture techniques. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on early mobilization, DVT prophylaxis, and gradual return to function, tailored to reduce recurrence and promote joint preservation.
This presentation is an excellent educational resource for orthopedic residents, sports medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, and clinicians managing hip pathologies.Gastric Carcinoma 360 :Surgical & Oncologic Approach
