Bystander first aid in trauma – prevalence and quality: a prospective observational study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-19)Background: Bystander first aid and basic life support can likely improve victim survival in trauma.

Our aim was to determine how frequently first aid is given to trauma victims by bystanders, the quality of this aid, the professional background of first-aid ... -

Therefore, we set out to complete an analysis of the epidemiology of fatal trauma, and any contributory role for alcohol, long suspected to promote fatal injuries. As a study area, we chose the ... -
Fatal injury as a function of rurality- A tale of two Norwegian counties
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Many studies indicate rural location as a separate risk for dying from injuries. For decades, Finnmark, the northernmost and most rural county in Norway, has topped the injury mortality statistics in Norway. The present study is an exploration of the impact of rurality, using a point-by-point comparison to another Norwegian county. Methods We identified all fatalities following ... -
Fatal injury caused by low-energy trauma – a 10-year rural cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Death after injury with low energy has gained increasing focus lately, and seems to constitute a significant amount of trauma-related death. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of deaths from low-energy trauma in a rural Norwegian cohort. Methods: All deaths from external causes in Finnmark County, Norway, from 1995 to 2004 were identified retrospectively through ... -

Frykten for hva som kan møte deg inne i Audien slår i mellomgulvet. I førersetet sitter en ... -
Intramuscular uptake of tranexamic acid during haemorrhagic shock in a swine model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-18)Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduce mortality in bleeding trauma patients, with greater efect if administered early. Serum concentrations above 10 µg/mL are considered sufcient to inhibit fbrinolysis. Normally administered intravenously (i.v.), TXA can also be administered intramuscularly (i.m.). This could be advantageous in low resource and military settings, if sufcient serum concentrations ... -
A nationwide survey of first aid training and encounters in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-23)Background: <br> Bystander first aid can improve survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or trauma.

In this study, we aimed to establish the prevalence and distribution of first aid training in the populace, how often first aid skills are needed, and selfreported helping behaviour. <br> Methods: <br> We ... -
Rural High North : A High Rate of Fatal Injury and Prehospital Death
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Finnmark County is the northernmost county in Norway. For several decades, the rate of mortality after injury in this sparsely inhabited region has remained above the national average. Following documentation of this discrepancy for the period 1991–1995, improvements to the trauma system were implemented. The present study aims to assess whether trauma-related mortality rates have subsequently ...
