• AI in Future C2 – Who’s in Command When AI Takes Control? 

      Bakken, Bjørn Tallak; Lund-Kordahl, Inger; Bjurström, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Artificial Intelligence (AI) will become an increasingly dominant element of future Command and Control (C2) systems and organizations. In this paper we discuss how to make effective use of this technology in time-critical decision-making situations, as we classify the relationships between human decision maker; the AI system; and the task or situation at hand, along two dimensions: Automation and ...
    • Assessing Firefighters' Tourniquet Skill Attainment and Retention: A Controlled Simulation-Based Experiment 

      Dragset, Erik; Blix, Sigurd Wisborg; Melau, Jørgen; Wilson, Thomas; Lund-Kordahl, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-15)
      Background: The aim of this study was to train and assess firefighters’ skill attainment in the use of tourniquets, and to assess their skill retention after 3 mo. The purpose is to show if firefighters can successfully apply a tourniquet after a short course based on the Norwegian national recommendation for civil prehospital tourniquet use.<p> <p>Methods: This is a prospective experimental ...
    • Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology in Systematic Inter-Professional Crisis Management Training 

      Bakken, Bjørn Tallak; Lund-Kordahl, Inger; Sandberg, Ina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)
      The technological transformation has enabled innovative changes in operational processes and services. Immersive technologies, specifically Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) training has been used for many years with excellent results to train e.g. astronauts, pilots, paramedics, and military personnel. Emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), present even greater ...
    • Cabin temperature during prehospital patient transport – a prospective observational study 

      Svendsen, Tuva; Lund-Kordahl, Inger; Fredriksen, Knut (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-13)
      <i>Background</i> - Few studies have investigated the patient compartment temperatures during ambulance missions or its relation to admission hypothermia. Still hypothermia is a known risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity in both trauma and disease. This has special relevance to our sub-arctic region’s pre-hospital services, and we prospectively studied the environmental temperature in ...
    • Norwegian Emergency Medicine Systems’ Training and Equipment for Penetrating Injuries: A National Survey-Based Study 

      Blix, Sigurd; Melau, Jørgen; Thorvaldsen, Nina Øye; Lund-Kordahl, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-09)
      <i>Objective</i>: Recent terror attacks led the Norwegian government to develop a procedure for emergency and law enforcement services cooperation during Active Violent Incidents (AVI, abbreviated PLIVO in Norwegian). To address further national initiatives to improve preparedness for mass casualty events and penetrating injuries among emergency medical services (EMS) in Norway, training and equipment ...
    • Performance of Norwegian civilian EMTs and army medics in penetrating trauma: a controlled simulation-based assessment 

      Blix, Sigurd Wisborg; Melau, Jørgen; Lund-Kordahl, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-25)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Penetrating trauma kills rapidly. Thorough and efficient examination and aggressive hemorrhage control is important to save lives. The aim of this study was to assess the skills of civilian Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) in bleeding examination and control compared to Army Medics. Our hypothesis was that civilian pre‐hospital systems perform at a lower level compared to ...
    • Relationship between level of CPR training, self-reported skills, and actual manikin test performance—an observational study 

      Lund-Kordahl, Inger; Mathiassen, Maria; Melau, Jørgen; Olasveengen, Theresa M.; Sunde, Kjetil; Fredriksen, Knut (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-10)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Quality of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills may influence out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes. We analyzed how the level of CPR training related to indicators of good CPR quality and also the relationship between self-reported skills and actual CPR performance. <p><i>Methods - </i>Two hundred thirty-seven persons trained in standardized BLS ...
    • Studies on the Chain of Survival in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 

      Lund-Kordahl, Inger (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-05-20)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Sudden death due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major health issue with estimated 250-300.000 cases in Europe/year. Survival after OHCA depends on a well-functioning Chain of Survival. The Chain of Survival concept of early access, early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation and good post-resuscitation care is the documented and recommended ...
