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 ...
    • Can video mobile phones improve CPR quality when used for dispatcher assistance during simulated cardiac arrest? 

      Bolle, Stein Roald; Gilbert, Mads; Scholl, Jeremiah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)

Methods: One hundred and eighty high school students were ...

      <i>Background</i> - Little data exist to describe the use and medical consequences of drone strikes on civilian populations in war and conflict zones. Gaza is a landstrip within the Palestinian territories and the home of 2 million people. The median age in Gaza is 17·2 years and almost half of the population is below the age of 14 years. We studied the prevalence and severity of extremity amputation ...
