How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

We share lessons learned from a collaborative in situ simulation of Ebola preparedness for a large health region. The lessons are to use proactive analysis, undertake in situ simulation, and have professionals in infection prevention and control and those in human factors collaborate. These lessons are applicable as generalizable concepts, not only...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of body weight in the effectiveness of performing 4 sets of 30 external chest compressions (ECCs) over 1.5 min in accordance with the 2010 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Guidelines, considering gender differences on Earth and a simulation of the hypogravity of Mars. Thirty males and 30 females...
The transmission of Ebola Virus (EV) to health care workers (HCW) has been documented in highly-resourced care settings, even with HCW use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This research describes an observational study involving simulated Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) patient scenarios in four tertiary acute care centers. Researchers recorded an...
www.thaisrussomano.com-www.pucrs.br/feng/microg RESULTS Weight was a strong predictor of D T during simulated 0.38G z (r=0.41, p=0.02), but not at +1G z (r=0.12)(Figure 1A). No variable was a significant predictor of D IRecoil or ECC rate. Weight was, again, a significant predictor of VO 2 during simulated 0.38G z and, in this case, also at +1G z (...
Introduction:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in microgravity is challenging. There are three single-person CPR techniques that can be performed in microgravity: the Evetts-Russomano (ER), Handstand (HS), and Reverse Bear Hug (RBH). All three methods have been evaluated in parabolic flights, but only the ER method has been shown to be effectiv...
Introduction: Studies were conducted to evaluate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a simulated low gravitational field, such as Mars (hypoG), aimed at providing an insight into the performance of terrestrial CPR.
Methods: Two studies were conducted to evaluate external chest compressions (ECC) depth and rate, as well as perceived exertion (RPE...
Current 2010 terrestrial (1Gz) CPR guidelines have been advocated by space agencies for hypogravity and microgravity environments, but may not be feasible. The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate rescuer performance over 1.5 min of external chest compressions (ECCs) during simulated Martian hypogravity (0.38Gz) and microgravity (μG) in relation...
