      Aim: Evidence of existing guidelines for the on-site triage of avalanche victims is limited and adherence suboptimal. This study attempted to find reliable cut-off values for the identification of hypothermic avalanche victims with reversible out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at hospital admission. This may enable hospitals to allocate extracorporeal life support (ECLS) resources more appropriately ...
    • North-Norwegian avalanche victims: a retrospective observational study 

      Fieler, Julia (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-03)
      Rescue and treatment of Norwegian avalanche victims is based on international guidelines from Central European and North American studies. However, the distribution of death causes in avalanches in our country has never been investigated earlier. For this reason we studied the 30 avalanches with fatal outcome in North Norway and Spitzbergen during 1996-2012. We wanted to assess the feasibility of ...
